Just to clarify I don't have anything against people who excessively use the bow as I understand that it is an item in your inventory which can be used however the person wants.

However in ranked matches recently I have encountered a lot of "bow spammers" and I end up getting stressed because I have no idea how to counter it.

I always just end up getting my healing drained and then die, any tips of ways to counter them ( except for build a wall and hide)

Use your blocks. Cover yourself and stay there until they run out of arrows or they get tired of bowing.

In all seriousness, building a wall or bowing back are your best options tbh.

They will just place water to push you back, then shoot a full charge :(

Block the water lol. Also, water doesn't follow players; they'd have to be really good if they wanted that to work.

If they are close, place water at one side of the wall (so they get caught in it) and go out to the other side and jump crit him/her then bow back (or run to your wall again)

Long range I recomend pressing up to him with unpredictable strafes where you try to dodge arrows

Another good thing that works is to fake eating a gap, then, as they shoot, stop eating the gap and jump to a side and try to get closer to them

A good water spammer knows people go to block the water up. Honestly, don't go for it because usually (what I do) people just rod you back and hit you, or they jump crit you in the water. Best thing to counter water spammers is just bow and rod spam them back so you could maybe press up to block the water or get them away from the water.
