The Skeleton Horse Kit is almost single handedly ruining this game

dont forget 99.99% of horse players are toxic and arrogant lol

 

I too agree that s-horse is too powerful. I feel that the power of the attacks is not justified by their cooldowns- they recharge way too quickly. While yes, the abilities are usually easy to bait out (back away quickly if you think the horse might use kick or triple jump over bone rush), one slip-up could cost you your life. You could either get sent to Jupiter w/ bone kick or get pummeled to death w/ rush + melee, which is why it always kind of annoys me when people are like "just dodge lmao." As if I hadn't already done that successfully 20 times in a row. And let's be honest, if the horse is more experienced, then it can find plenty of options to get a cheap shot on you. Also most new/average players probably won't be able to triple jump, so that option is out the window for dealing with bone rush, which takes little effort on the horse's part, since all the horse has to to is be in the vicinity of another player, and then that player's movement gets hindered.

Another thing I wanna talk about is deadly bones- really? Who thought this was a good idea? Deadly bones appear when the horse takes a certain amount of damage, which is kinda stupid. I can be fighting a really sucky horse that barely moves and keeps trying to stay in the same place. I will get this thing to near death, and then suddenly I'm tripping over 3 land mine bones that spawned one block away from each other. I guess it's not really that horrible, it's just annoying and it can knock you into the void on occasion if you're not careful. But considering how powerful the rest of horse is, this attack just seems really unnecessary.

And then yes, there's the god-awful smash. What doesn't help is that some horses are basically pros at running and stalling the game until it comes out. Using horse makes it easy to be able to camp and wait until a smash. Even idiots have figured out that hiding on top of trees and behind walls is good for them. And then they use either rush or kick if you get too close, then they proceed to run away until one of those attacks have recharged. And between that and aggressive play, I can't really decide what is worse. At least during aggressive play, I don't have to waste 15 minutes chasing it.

 

You're gonna break that arm if u reach it that far, but yeah I think it's one of the best in the game definitely not on the bottom half like the tier list suggests that's for sure.

 

I agree fighting a defensive horse is extremely painful without specific kits.

The worst part about horse is that its a kit that you have to kill as fast as possible, and the horse's abilities and stats completely prevent you from doing that.

First, as many have mentioned already, horse has 0.3 regen and is a tank.

Second, it has 2 abilities that need to be avoided (with most kits) else you could potentially be flinged to the other side of the map or be killed or brought down very low (depending on what kit you are using). These abilities may seem easy to avoid in theory, but for a horse that knows what they are doing (luckily theres not a single one at least that I know of) they arent easy to bait. I havent tried this, but horse can theoretically just trick someone into thinking they will bone rush, then baiting their triple jump bait and shredding them. Even if the horse completely misses both abilities, it will only be weak for a certain amount of time before it gets them back as they both have low cooldowns. This paired with the fact that it has high armor and regen makes horse take a very long time to kill. This wouldnt be a problem if it wasnt for the next reason.

Hopefully we can all agree that the horse smash crystal is broken, in fact that would be an understatement. If this didnt exist, you could just out-camp the horse by using projectiles (you still can if they decide to engage). But likely they will just hide behind something and you will have to engage else you wont be able to kill them in enough time.
In my experience, fighting a horse doesnt feel like a fight, but more of a race against the smash crystal.

Horse may not be comparable to the best kits and I also wouldnt say its the only intolerable kit, endy and zombie are also very annoying to fight against, but its certainly one of the most poorly balanced kits and needs to be reworked.

 

Why does nearly every horse use the smash? Also, even with baiting abilities, runny horses are usually great at melee so you can't exactly charge them with a sword.

 

Highly agree with this post

 

Just lobby-dodge any lobbies with horse. You already know a round is unenjoyable with a horse. Regarding eHailey, the name doesn't seem familiar enough... what was their playstyle?

 

Hey guys does any one know who those two horses "Ally" and "Meg" are? I'm not sure if they changed their name since then or if they even play anymore, but I just wanna see if y'all know who I'm talking about

 

can’t believe people would use this kit yikes

 

No it’s not, people being like “1v1 only in a 4-man match” are ruining it

 

nah it is, I was correcting where Skelly horse isn’t in comparison

 

tho if we’re only talking about classes, yes, horse, wolf, guardian and creeper are all ruining it

 

Yeah a sweat did that to me once and used it as an excuse for targeting me the whole game. And apparently me calling them out for it counts as "crying"

 

Yeah first time I saw them we were clearly getting teamed on so me and the other guy there made a truce until they both died. Of course they got mad.
