goddamn this overpowered one-shot kill piece of shit
you see so many pub snipers relying on it to compensate for lack of basic muscle control, because if you release an arrow relatively near someone's dome BOOM YOU GET A KILL
just like that
no charge
and best of all you don't even have to SEE someone coming, you can just cross your fingers as you turn a fucking corner
and hey, because arrows can pass through people but sniper rifle bullets can't, we get a whole new type of spam: essentially invisible arrows that can get kills 75% of the time in a clusterfuck

hit boxes seems out of proportion to me, also.

also, the fact that valve's perception of "weakness" was a small clip and less zoom
who cares about quantity, there are goddamn ammo boxes everywhere, and i bet most huntsmen snipers sit near dispensers 75% of the time, so it doesn't even matter
as for zoom, who needs it? Yeah, the arrow might not be pinpoint accurate, but hey when its hitbox is as big as a fucking heavy, who cares? firing blindly will always result in at LEAST an assist, and since it's so easy to hit someone with a 100+ dmg projectile that moves incredibly fast ("not hitscan") you'll probably get tons of kills on people playing real classes.

i cant recall the last time i got hit by an arrow
and when I do, i almost always survive
noob bow takes more skill when you dont spam it
hitscan is and will always be easier

you have to realize it's a worse alternative to the rifle
any good sniper will always do better with the rifle
and the only advantage to the bow is the ability to spam it in chokepoints

That's why it's so much fun. Kinda like WM1 pyro-ing.
