As always you are absolutely right Terco
I, however, would just butcher couched out of game as this mechanics doesnt contributes anything in game, you have to aim your spear-thrust atacks with very same aiming skill that couch-lancers do, but for some reason couch gives you UNBLOCKABLE and 3X TIMES more damage buff, how does this contributes anything good in game except giving noobs ability to be effective without knowing a s*it about game mechanics
