Bow and Spitfire in ranked

They broke the game with the bow and the spitfire. I only ever go up against teams in ranked using the bow and spitfire. I love how they consider a minus 10 damage reduction to the bow a nerf.

  • @2Z_Tony I don't think they broke the game and consider the current nerf as acceptable, but there is something that bugs me with spitfire:
    Why bother with devotion? Spitfire makes more damage, start firing right away, as big mags too, and less recoil with better pattern, and also can be used as single fire.
    It is intended that some weapons are stronger, but Spitfire doesn't seem to have any big drawback (you still have to be moderately skilled to target, yes). It is also a machine gun, hence strong and deadly, but then maybe it should be rare?
  • @2Z_TonyWhat they should of done for the bow, was make head shots do 80 or 90, body do 50 or 60, and shots not fully pulled back do 15.

    Instead they assume hitting people in the head is going to be hard, and nerfed the body damage and made it take more time to pull back.

    Spitfire is just another Mastiff type gun where everyone is using it because it's easy to use, does insane damage, can be long range, and you don't really have to reload as much. It should shoot slower or deal less damage or have a reduced mag.

    All people really do in arenas, is they go for a bow or spitfire because it's almost a guaranteed win. By round 2, there's usually a Horizon bow sniping you, and it's dumb with the fact that it can kill you quickly and is for the most part silent.

    SPitfire needs more recoil to justify it's damage.  It really is that simple of a fix.

    "All people really do in arenas, is they go for a bow or spitfire because it's almost a guaranteed win."

    I have yet to lose to these with my 301 so not sure it is accurate for all.

  • @Irres169I can win against spitfires with my Mozambique in Arena but I do have to say the bow is still pretty broken especially in BR
