The charge animation when stabbing with poles/spears just lowers the weapon slightly. You can easily counter the animation by moving the spear manually in the opposite direction and make it seemingly have “no animation”. This is also the reason why I think people have trouble to differentiate between middle stab and right swing, since they can’t really see a stab winding up.

Experienced players knows what to look for and when it happens, but newer players literally calls for hacks when they encounter someone that knows how to hide the stab. That makes me think that this is more gimmicky than skillbased and therefore should be tweaked animation wise.

TLDR: The charge animation when stabbing with poles/spears should be remade in a way that makes it look more natural and actually draw the weapon back visually like every other weapon. Imoimoimo :D
