Anyone else hate the bow already?
It can be fun to use but it's seriously annoying because it's practically silent. You can't tell where enemies are shooting from most of the time. I keep hearing arrows fly past me and I've no idea w...

@JonStriker126 "I hope they don't go all overwatch with it, to the point where they nerf it into the ground or change so much about it, that it loses what was so fun and enjoyable about it in the first place"
Umm really? they did that already, to legends like Wraith, Pathfinder, Wattson, Caustic. That's just respawn thing, streamers seem okay with it though because they can demolish casuals easily with that and make some content. So let's see how long until they nerf it.
They will reduce the damage for sure, it's just the same as wingman, it's pretty hard to land the shots, but if you have a good aim, it's not much of a problem. It's obviously OP and there's no excuse around it. You don't even need kraber anymore as long as you have 3x and a bow. It pretty much hits the same.

@bosourd The bow doesn't down people in one headshot like the Kraber. It's more like a longbow with skullpiercer.
- @Lord_Scorpion34 true, I didn't necessarily say it'll one-shot you, but the fire rate & ADS time are faster. So yeah, it hits the same.
Now I've learned to use it, the bow is awesome. In a game yday my squad was at waterfall and there was a fight on the roof of Hammond Labs. I did 600 damage in about a minute 🙂
Copied pasted because 2 threads, same topic:
I'm sorry I nearly do not care at all what pro's say.
Look, if you're so good at aiming that you might as well be using an aim bot, then yeah, certain weapons are OP.
But nobody here should be lying to themselves or to anyone else thinking they land shots like a pro, because they don't.
Listening to pros is what has Wattson be 'OP'. Meanwhile she's one of the least chosen characters in the game. Meanwhile Octane isn't overpowered at all but chosen all the time by players, often because they want to just ignore the team and do what they want.
Weapons, and characters, are made for the game public and the pros will play whatever game exists...you know...because they make money doing it. If they think the bow is OP it could be, but I'm not going to take my queues from people who find a way to land 2 arrows with every single shot both into your eyes. Because they're not in my games nor will they ever be. 🙂
You know what? I stand corrected.. MAKE EVERY GUN THE ALTERNATOR AND ALSO NERF IT. Then everyone can feel better about life. Even though they'll surely start complaining their alternator isn't as powerful as the enemy's and hacks and etc. etc. etc.
- @Lord_Scorpion34 There's also the fact that people like me who can't aim can still land shots with the bow.
- @jokool_aid Well I've also had a lot of people miss me with it. It's not a guaranteed kill weapon like some make it out to be.
