With that same logic couldnt someone say “remove shotguns and smgs because they promote ape game play”? Is it not a good idea to have options when it comes to play style?

Nothing in the game can peakshot as good as bows, nor does any other primary in the game have the ability to 1 tap as consistently as bows do. Aping can be punished very easily, but passive play with a weapon that'll do half your hp regardless of where it hits in 1 shot is less easy to punish.

Which bow can one shot without some sort of setup? I can’t think of any off the top of my head. Bows can easily be punished too. They are good at range but in close quarters they aren’t (unless the user is well skilled and in that case the weapon doesn’t matter as much). Its pretty easy to counter a bow player. Basically Plus playing passively in general is a big disadvantage in a lot of game modes and on a lot of maps. Bows are good in a lot of situations I admit. But there’s a reason they aren’t used much at all. And in high skilled games they are pretty rare. But I’m just thinking out loud.

Le Monarque with any damage boost will 1 tap, and with how common damage boosts are, it's not hard to get one. In a pure 1v1 situation sure, they'll get punished, but that's in a complete vacuum ignoring other weapons they're using, the mode, teammates, etc. On paper, 140s should be garbage with their ttk, yet still see tons of usage. Same concept. Think of it this way. A bow in and of itself is not impossible to deal with. But a bow with any form of team play, communication, secondary weapon, or generally anything outside of a pure 1v1 is incredibly oppressive. Even then, peakshotting makes using a bow in a 1v1 incredibly easy and brainless to use. Passive play is not always a disadvantage. For example, in a trials game, if you have the middle area say Jav-4, you can win the round just by staying there. Pushing actually puts you at a disadvantage. In this situation, a bow has free reign to deny all peaking opportunities with just one shot, even moreso with the dot from le monarque. The reason they're not used is because things such as vex and messenger exist, not because bows aren't good. Playing up against a charged with light build le monarque is one of the single worst setups I've ever dealt with in trials. Hell, when I play with some of my worse friends, I ask them to use it as all they need to do is just hit someone anywhere and they'll do half of their hp. Not to mention bows allowing for the fastest ttks in the game.
