not really when i repeatedly just get walked up to and instakilled by someone using the bow... 0 reaction time, its essentially a knife if youre innocent... ZERO effort besides charging the shot and letting go..
why is it that the only people commenting havent even played since the server began being filled with 3+ of these things at a time..
The same logic can be applied to a lot of other weapons. They could walk up and insta-kill you (basically) with almost every other weapon(albeit most require a headshot or so, but with high firerate, it's basically an insta-kill). You're not going to have time to react before you're dead. With the bow, if they miss the first shot they are fucked unlike other primary weapons. Even if they do kill you with the bow, they are likely gonna get rekt anyways. It's pretty slow to fire.
So yeah, other weapons also have ZERO EFFORT other than pressing and holding the mouse button up close. Same logic honestly.
Not saying a nerf is a BAD thing for them , I'm just pointing out something I see wrong with that logic. Although if they didn't one shot up close in the body, you're fucked in almost every firefight. They are so unpractical to use already, taking away that body shot power would pretty much ruin them. (They also only one shot if fully powered, in upper body/head too. No arms/leg shots)
Okay okay here let me give you a scenario
I'm 5 feet away from someone with a Bellum. They have to headshot me for a half second kill, or body shot me and I die in just over a second. I can KOS them even if I die quickly, leading to them potentially dying.
With the bow, I'm dead instantly. Only other weapons that do this are the deagle and rifle, but they require headshots. The bow does not, it's completely effortless for something the other weapons have to do something risky for. Even if I'm being shot gunned to death, the shotgunner gets close and if they don't instantly kill me they are out of position and easy for other innocents to kill, or I can kill them. Maybe that illustrated my point better, I just really don't like that a weapon can body shot kill you SO FAST you can't even KOS the traitor. Not to mention the fact that the bow is near silent. Innos are likely to be instantly killed with no chance of KOS, and the perpetrator has an easy time getting away with it. While the rail gun is also stupid in that it can kill you instantly with a point and click, it's very loud and bright so people will immediately know... So it's LESS stupid.
As for the "missing a shot leaves you screwed", it's more like two. The time to charge a second shot is low enough that even if you miss you can potentially get off another and kill them before you're dead. This isn't what I'm so upset about, it's just that it's insanely strong if you're NOT kosed. If the target has no reason to kill you, even if they're extremely suspicious of you, there is nothing they can do besides hope you fuck up horribly
