As of lately, I have noticed a huge spike in the use of crossbow kit. Especially on Fridays (free kit Fridays). The kit is so unbalanced because it requires no skill and has literally almost has the same armor as archer kit excluding the chainmail leggings, oh and also all the leather armor on crossbow has prot 2 and the chainmail chest plate has prot 3. I think that it should totally be removed because anyone can use it and hit an archer shot “near” anyone it does multiple hearts of damage and so easy to kite with because of the speed 1 and the crossbow ability. If it isn’t removed please at least give them less armor or less arrows or no speed. It’s too easy to use and too broken. Literally the only kits that stand a chance against it (in a 1v1) are fisherman when its semi-close range and slinger. Literally almost every single other kit can be beat by a some-what crossbow if its a 1v1.
Agreed, The nerf should be something like, if you don’t hit the player then the player doesn’t get hit. Like you stated, you can’t aim at all and are easily able to hit someone.
I really don’t want to go through the details again, check one of my posts about crossbow archer elementalist stuff, I already gunna rant today and I don’t even check here often anymore. Besides it should be obvious why archer is better than crossbow.
I’m still wondering why there isn’t a single forum post complaining archer needs a nerf and yet there is 5+ people whining about crossbow… smh
EDIT: you sure that picture isnt a bunch of archers btw @VanillaVerse? I see chainmail leggings, not leather.
Couldn’t agree more. I get 2-tapped in most kits when being attacked by a crossbow. But this is the reason I use it a lot. xD maybe nerf the power to 2 or 3. PLUS it has built-in aimbot(essentially).
Yes, let’s nerf a kit( already received a nerf that discourages spamming )to the ground and make no one ever use it! Just because I find a kit annoying I will cry on forums until it’s solved.
7 hearts in one hit. What don’t you understand about that? You have to use 2 soups to get to full health. That kit is SO easy to farm kills with, hence why people use it. It needs a nerf. People aren’t not going to use it just because it got a nerf.
@1BowStringer that’s a bunch of crossbowers, archers has purple leather while crossbow has red.
7 hearts of damage if it is a fully charged direct hit. The explosions alone do around 2.5 hearts 3 being the most. Kit Ninja does nearly around the same damage in 2 swings which is relatively easy to achieve. Elementalist if hit with the arrow that shoots you in the air can also do around 5-7 Hearts. No one complains when being insta killed by a Switcher, but when it’s by a portal it’s a different story. No one cares when a ninja chunks you down in 2 hits and has speed 2, but everyone cares about 1 directly aimed shot. This community lol.
One hit is 7 hearts like we said, yes, now think about that you can do about 2 hearts of damage just from the side of them without even aiming that well. That is mostly what people what changed.
People are asking the kit to be fixed by only making the damage from explosives count if it’s a direct hit. That still does relatively a lot of damage still and won’t make the kit any more skillful. You will still be 2 tapped in both scenarios the exception is that not needing the direct hit would just allow the person to annoy from father away.
The point is that you can strafe IF the kit WAS like this. This would make the kit much less op. With Crossbow now, the other play cannot strafe because all they have to do is shoot in your general direction and they’ll hit you, which also wastes all of your soups which gets you low on health, then you try to refill but since you’re still you’re hit with 5 hearts of damage causing you to die.
I don’t see how changing the harassment really improves the kit. Explosions are meant to deal area of affect damage. In Addition,No one wants to talk about how Ninja kit is incredibly overpowered and needs a nerf as Speed 2 is broken when playing as a non-speed kit. Just how ninja is nothing without speed, Crossbow is nothing without its explosions. The only quality of improvement nerf the crossbow would be is to reduce the amount of arrows received from 64>32.
