This patch's combat system feels absolutely braindead, the combat in this game evolved to a Spamfest. The combat's depth is a grain of sand compared to warband which is a desert with all the ways you can progress your playstyle, be creative and consistently improve.
The best thing you can do right now is spam. Parameters are not in harmony with each other (Swing speeds, Movement Speed, Character rotation speed, Swing dmg). With the exception of block delay decrease and kick nerf, parameters of the combat in this patch are at the worse they've ever been since EA release. Stance system is purely an aesthetic thing, has no use whatsoever or advantage in taking the time to use them and above all that they are buggy and don't even work as intended because the enemy player can only see you change stances if you let your guard down then proceed to move left or right and then swing in the direction you moved in (Just try switching stances on the same direction by just clicking right click when you're holding a swing and moving left or right, the enemy player won't see a change in the stance animation but on your screen it will switch.)
Some chain attack animations are able to conceal the attack that is incoming when the chain is activated making it look like it's going to hit him in a different direction (Let someone try to block your chain attack after you
chain left swing and look as high as you can upwards while the chain animation is ongoing, it will make it look like the attack is going to land up when in reality it's left so the enemy literally has to predict to not get hit by this). + Why add chain attack animations for all directions except stab?!
There's the stab bug where your next attack is delayed after landing a stab but it happens more often with 2handers than with 1h. Chambers are not polished at all. Blocking is not at the most responsive state it is supposed to be. I won't even address the imbalances within certain factions and the big lack of content in Multiplayer.
Playing with above than 50 ping makes the combat feel unenjoyable because it becomes more and more unresponsive the higher your ping goes from >50ms.
Well then, back to Warband until they actually start fixing the issues with the combat system properly.
