Horse archery is too strong

[Grumbs]

Please HA trolls are spoiling the game

[darmaster]

seriously today smurf fully became a pederast, we gotta stop these people, who knows what they do IRL; we've got to talk with them, they're probably lonely people who're just looking for something to raise their self-esteem in this cruel society.

Just go heavy armor, heavy horse HA and chase him for a couple of rounds. The first time you kill him, he'll rage quit.

HA is OP as hell and has been for a while. Riding a heavy horse I can fight basically any class on the field without being threatened much. Only longbows and heavy crossbows are worth avoiding.

When some infantry my old friendhero goes 24-1 with his agi/str greatsword/shield build, nobody bats an eyelid.

HA does good, I believe it's skill. Or i'm just useless at HA, all my STF ones always have at best 1:3 kdr, and that's using all MW shit from Krems armory

Because it's counterable by almost anyone, while HA isn't.

You are an archer correct? Nerfing HA will nerf Archers as well. Unless they only nerf Horse archery.

In my opinion HA required skills and is hard, it was very tough when playing as a HA. Posting a screenshot of someone topping score as HA isn't really helping. How about those 2h / polearm/ Cav heroes? They always top the score board, do those required nerf too?

not Cav/ranged here but i believe HA is fine as it is. Before the archery buff HA was near to useless.

They can counter each other easily.  While ranged is the only counter for HA. For me the problem is Yumi on horseback.

Ranged and fast riding cav can counter HA. Lancer with courser can take down HA by surprise and ranged can shoot down their horses, once the horse is down HA basically dead

[Strudog]

Yumi is the only problem, the other bows deal negligible damage, where as the Yumi is like a longbow on horseback.

Not anymore. Praise the "bug" removal.

Charging HA with a courser will result in running away from HA without courser.

Which is why i said Lancer with courser can take down HA by surprise, i've played as Cav for over 20 gens (with 10 riding) and i have no problem dealing with HA at all. (Not a Cav anymore now). Direct engage with HA as Cav is just silly unless you can outspeed them or hit them by surprise. let them ranged deal with them.

I don't think you realize how OP horse archers are when they are high level. Niluck reached the level 34 today, I don't even want to see his k/d, because I perfectly know he was completely over powered at level 33, delaying EVERY round he was alive to farm valour. This valour farming is too wrong to stay imo.
