some weapons when they get longer are not as useful in close range. Sarrisa is an example of this. You need to spin to put more speed behind the thrust otherwise it does no damage and opens you to attack. The thrust attacks on two handers are already risky at close range, with the weapon being longer it is less likely to interrupt attacks. So you will need to rely on the swings more and they take longer to hit anyway. So you could easily get spammed by a huscarl in close range and you would be almost powerless to stop it
