In my personal opinion, they should be more of a front-line, anti-cavalry weapon (where if you stab a rider with a pike the rider is forced to dismount. This could possibly be applied to Uruk Berserker Cleavers as well.) However, I think both of these nerfs can easily be avoided. Personally, I think pikes should just be made slower - perhaps 40% the speed of a sword, along with the player speed debuff. That allows infantry swordsmen to close on a pikeman, and gain the advantage as they should be able to. Pikes would be able to dismount riders, however, so they would still be useful.
