It is known by the players the great power that the ranged cavalry (mainly javelin) has before the melee cavalry.
In a direct confrontation, javelin cavalry has a huge advantage against melee cavalry, and can even beat spear cavalry, which is their counter.
The main purpose of spear cavalry is to take down other cavalry, and that is not happening. Basically in a spear fight against sword, it's a technical draw. In large numbers like 20x20 then spear wins with a small advantage.
The purpose of the patch:
1- Spear cavalry more efficient against ranged cavalry.
2- The sword cavalry a light natural counter against infantry ranged, increasing your pierce armor and decreasing the hack to compensate, making more vulnerable against infantry and spear cavalry.
3- Spear cavalry more efficient against melee cavalry, mainly sword cavalry.
4- Apply the changes to champion cavalry too.
