  • No. Just everything else is [i]highly nerfed[/i...and by that there's nothing else to nerf but bows. Sheesh this sandbox is boring!

      For their damage profile, at the very least they should reduce the amount of magnetism they have. The magnetism even works to it's detremint sometimes. Firing at someone corner-peeking sometimes has the arrow magnetizing to the cover even when you're perfectly on target.

      • I mean No Land one shots to the head and bows do not by default. Not really an equal comparison.

          • It’s not a bow issue. It’s 2 overtuned guns and 1 op playstyle. Bow swapping needs to be taken down again. Bow ready speed needs to be removed from dexterity mods, quick access sling needs to be removed as a mod, and Quickdraw needs to be replaced on all existing precision frames. Keep the handling bonuses from other perks like steady hands, and Quickdraw is fine on lightweights due to them being harder to clean up. Other than that it’s just Monarque’s sheer stats and Wish-Ender’s wall-hack range. Monarque is just the single best bow in the game. Nothing else compares. Great chunk damage for its draw time, significantly higher accuracy and stability compared to lightweights, and a dot. This makes it effectively the Ace of Spades of bows - but this becomes a problem due to how bows function and what those 2 stats mean. Wish-Ender not only allows for seeing which lanes an enemy is taking, but allows you to perfectly peak-shoot another person with basically 0 effort. Being able to see when an enemy is going to peak gives it such a massive advantage in a more ranged PvP sandbox. Therefore, the truesight should only be out to ~20m in PvP. There’s a reason why no other bows even get close to being on the trials usage charts even with 2 amazing bows this season in Point of the Stag and Astynax

            • Bows need a hitbox/aim assist nerf as badly as handcannons do

              • Bows are the worst meta yet. Better at sniping than the snipers

                • Generally bows are pretty meh outside of the exotics it's bow swapping that's the issue.

                • You realize most scouts can beat a bow at range, and a close range (30 meters or less) most high rate of fire weapons can beat them.

                  • Yea just from a previous match had a CoD player scared to use something else besides a bow. Apparently, he probably got triggered when I defeated with that (CoD) player using Crimson. Sad when a (CoD) player bring a bow to a gun fight. And yes Bows are broken in PvP. I know two shots to the head or one depending on the bow is just out of control.

                    • Bows are the best HC peaking counter. Live with it.

                      • They aren't broken, people just started using them now. The meta will shift accordingly to counter bows and bows will vanish into obscurity once more. Mark my words.

                        • Wishender wall hack too much in trials now. It’s very irritating for solo players with no group sync. One will have wish ended, another with sniper another with rapid fire. I’m losing every trial matches

                          • Worried about one crutch when you want an even worse crutch brought back. No thank you. Glad those days are behind us.

                            • Bows have remained unchanged since forsaken bud. There is nothing new about any of what's being done right now. They just have a spike in usage because lightweights got "buffed" to parity with precisions and now all the turds have discovered bow swapping. Bow swap needs to die.

                                • They’re not broken. People just realized how good they actually are. Been this way the whole time they were in pvp.

                                  • Because the usage rate on Bows is low (even though they're annoying as hell) and because there shouldn't be a single weapon in the game that is: -Hit scan -OHK to the head -has unlimited ammo. All at the same time.
