Throwing Meta is Ruining the Game

I agree except for the part about horses. Sometimes with great momentum you throw for more than 100 damage on the horse, but in most situation it deals around 40 damage, which is nothing. The damage on players shouldnt be that high in some cases especially in modes where Friendly fire isnt active. In siege, when you play skirmisher and just throw jareeds blindly right into the main gate's choke point, most of the time you will end up with 3 kills (the other half of your throws just disappeared through your teamates for 0 dmg), which is just very ridiculous. Reserving throwables on specifics classes that have clear weaknesses (lack of armor) is okay to me, throwing weapons on classes that have good armor and good melee weapons is not a good meta though.
TLDR : Throwing weapon needs to be nerfed VS Infantry, but needs to remain strong vs cavalry.

Yes. This problem aligns with the decision of TW to go for the class system. Every change we make will lead to new problems because that is simply what the class system creates.
If there was no class system, the solution would have been much simpler. Or you do something with damage, or you do something with price. Now we need to look into class prices, which will then have other effects and cause other imbalances.
Pila/throwing spear oneshots feel just as bad to infantry as they do to cav. Imo throwing spears shouldn't exist with current damage numbers.
The sturgian and battanian throwing spear is a better cav melee weapon than all other spears, which is itself ridiculous.
Make the throwing damage be about 70-80 to low armour inf, or about on the level of jarids or slightly higher, and make melee damage on par with other spears.
Throwing spears/pilas should be taken for their versatility as a both a melee and throwing weapon. If you want throwing, you should prefer to pick dedicated throwing perks instead.

Basically
If every class ends Up having throwables, you bring back an old broken meta in which infantry were the ones suffering the most.

Spears, especially pilas, are supposed to do massive damage to shields before anything else.
Throwing spears were never used vs charging horses - it is supposed to be useless!
It is needed to just tune down precision of everything ranged an make it less reliable for A-class tryhard's 360 double backflip noscope.

Okay about that, i sent all my videos to devs for making devs nerfing that mechanic and now it's gone completely from the game. I created topic on turkish forums and told them face to face in combat testing discord for bannerlord. So you can thank to me :*
Now, once again, I am trying to save multiplayer of bannerlord by being honest about what is over powered.

Ah but you know it’s not gone completely from the game, it’s just not as easy as it was before
How long now have we said that heavy infantry and even light infantry are just not worth the gold you use to spawn as them, they (TW) are so reluctant to make some powerful changes for infantry that is not based on throwing or crushing through blocks.
Honestly just give infantry players the opportunity to WW and SS as well and watch spears start working properly (this is a joke don’t take it seriously)
It seems like they've made cav so dominant in combat that they've tried to adjust it with providing infantry with more powerful throwing, in order to provide them with some kind of ability to fight back against cav/ranged, but it just means that actually using your infantry weapon becomes the weakest component of an infantry's kit, which is the opposite of how it should be.
I know we have to socially distance in the real world, but it is really necessary to engineer the combat in bannerlord to ensure that people socially distance in the game as well?

Don't be ridiculous..
Thanks for the tip (no actually you can?) lol
yea you can pick them out of shields and bodies. you can even drop your own shield, pick the throwing weps out of it, then pick it up again
