The counter doesn't make it OP, since half of the people who play lance don't even use it, anyway. Also, you're not stopping the attack, just blocking it and stabbing. If you try to do that on a Barroths charge, you're dead. Lance takes skill to play CORRECTLY. Most people just can't play it right.
