Bows seriously need to be looked at in pvp

Bows have been running rampant especially the monarch with immortal combo. Bows literally have a 0 risk, unlimited ammo, and almost one shot with minimal effort. Monarch takes you down to literal 1 up with its burn. Wish ender looking through walls the list goes on… bows ruin pvp more than anything with the sit back and hold down ads and wait. Makes every quick play match feel like I’m playing for my life cause you can’t run a fun build or try new guns cause sit in the back Andy is holding every angle with a bow. Everyone is talking about “nerf the immortal blah blah” but bows have hardly ever been looked at. Don’t nerf the immortal NERF -blam!- BOWS

  • They really need to be looked at yeah. They are way too weak in pvp.

  • Everything has a counter. In this case throw on a sniper and hit your mark first. Sniper hits you in the head you die, bow hits you in the head they've still gotta hot swap and finish you. Alternatively you could use abilities to suppress their ability to peak sightlines. Titan shields, grenades that stick on walls or really any grenade that'll sit there for a few seconds and stop them from getting the first peak. Don't get me wrong being destroyed by dudes using le'monarch and hot swapping does feel bad all I'm saying is there's a fair bit you can try and do to combat it

    • LOOOOOOOOL no. You obviously don’t use bows. You know how many hours it takes to get good? How good you have to be at so many aspects to compete with literally every other weapon in the sandbox? There’s never been a bow meta. Why? Because it’s the hardest weapon to actually be good with. You have to have strong game sense, ability to position, movement, crosshair placement, minimalist peek shotting (basically shooting blind, see: crosshair placement) and in the current meta, you have to be able to hit high pressure shots many times every game. You know how a bow gets kills outside teamshotting? Opponents ego. Bow tags you? Don’t peek it, duh. In a sandbox where pulses can 2 shot, ease of sniping, aping, you want to nerf the slowest weapon in the game? Nah fam. Skill issue. Only thing I’ll concede is that swappers and exotic users live in your local dump and suck eggs. Bow mains don’t claim them.

      • Le monarque is an outlier.
