Which could be modified so you couldn't use the lantern and asked at same time, Which could even it out a bit. And also not really. I don't see how I'm exaggerating at all. Considering that you stand still a good bit longer than swinging a sword and how slow it is. I don't see how difficult it is to dodge. I dodge lanterns all the time when I tower, They're just too slow to hit. Unless you're lagging terribly or something and can't see the guy with a lantern running at you then yea I'll give you that. But any normal situation i don't see why you couldn't easily dodge them until they run out and need to recharge it. Unless everyone is in your way or something. Otherwise you should be able to hit their sides with a sword when they try to hit you and stand frozen for a second or arrow them when they try to hit you. I've personally had a lot of experience fighting people with lanterns in the past. They honestly are not hard to dodge at all even in towers

Yeah it's relatively easy to dodge lanterns, but it's also relatively easy to dodge swords. Lanterns are pretty comparable to swords, the longer use gani is just made up for by the longer lasting hitbox. So having an item which behaves pretty similarly to the sword but deals double damage would be pretty imbalanced in my opinion, so I'm glad that it only deals 0.5 against players.
