[2019] So... is there a reason why the horses bonus damage is one way?

It's absolutely annoying to deal with these stupid things. The "counters" are more like a half assed patch given that a horse with a spear or lance completely out ranges your billhook or what ever else can knock them down. It's barely tolerable.

Then came crossroads, and it turns into the must frustrating POS I've ever seen. Horses pretty much have free rein over your spawn, so you spawn in, and suddenly get ran over by a damn horse when you take two or three steps. Kill one, and then there's another. Hit em once with a melee weapon? You gotta hit em again! Hit em in the face with a jav? They were wearing a helmet! Try again.
