Where did this retarded ''spear is not good in 1v1 combat'' meme came from? Aside from the fact that they can simply change the grip if someone comes too close even when they use it with a shield the ''just go past the pointy end lmao'' is retarded because first of all the guy still can take a few steps back as the retard tries to close the distance and second since spear was the most common melee wepaon in history there is a huge chance his opponent has a spear on his own so why would he go ''hurr this retarded charge wouldn't work against me but hopefully my enemy has down's syndrome so I'm gonna rush him''?
Also this ''spear is a peasant's weapon'' is stupid as well because mercenaries, knights, samurai, Immortals, hoplites were all proffesionals yet used them not to mention Ares and Odin had spears and gods obviously don't use shit weapons.

why do you love spears so much?

Because spears and polearms were the main weapons of infantry and other shit like axes, swords, maces and warhammers were mere sidearms in case something went horribly wrong.

Think about that for a second.

Not very versed on ancient/medieval warfare here, but didn't most soldiers fight in formations, with people behind them? I'd think that would make it harder to just take a few steps back or even change the grip without wracking the dude behind you

Me and my bros made wooden weapons when we were a kid and the kid who made a spear fucking obliterated everyone. We had to slap so much house rules on that shit.

>"Why would anyone use a spear, it's a totally useless weapon. If somebody with a sword comes close to you and attacks, you won't be able to defend yourself with your spear because it's so long and unwieldy, you would have to ditch it and draw your sword. Also remember that scabbards for spears don't exist so you would have to constantly hold your spear with your hands even when you're not fighting, which is pretty inconvenient."
