Melee vs Bow

Unsighted wrote

Im not ripping on bows JUST because im shit with a bow, its also because many of the badlion ladders (about 90%) contain a bow, and with ELO thirsty players everywhere people will not let you melee and just bow you back, draining your health, EVEN IN POTION. I can just about deal with bowspammers in build, because there is the option of walling up and forcing melee, not to mention bows really dont do too much damage in this ladder. ive won about 70% of my Build fights from pregapping and melee rushing, I mean bows arent everything, so to the bowspammers out there, just try this for one match, chug a gapple at the start and blockhit spam the fuck out of your opponent, hopefully when you find it works I will have converted another confused bowspammer to the melee rush religion.

Aren't there bow hacks that make your reloading a little bit faster, 0.1 - 0.3 seconds. It would probably help you a lot and nobody would notice.

I love bows, maybe because I suck at melee :^)

I hate bow in build, but love bow in the UHC ladder. I'm about average at melee and bow so don't really have a preference :P

As a person who pot pvps, I get annoyed by people who say meele is just jitterclick and strafe, it takes so much more than that. If you geniunely believe that it's pretty clear you're bad.

However what's also annoying is seeing people who think bows take no skill. It takes prediction, accuracy, and strategic timing.

My point is that you Pot PvP and UHC PvPers need to stop being such elitsts. Both take skill. Get that through your thick skulls and please stop arguing.

They are both very important, but melee usually is the one that ends games. They both take equal amount of skill, however melee has a longer learning curve, rodding at the right times strafing etc. Bowing usually comes naturally.

But people who only bow and never melee do piss me off, im okay if u bow alot. But cmon melee ;c

I'm horrible with the bow tho c;

Melee: Aim, movement before engaging, strafing, CPS (which is what I'm lacking which is why I suck at melee)

Bow: Accuracy, prediction, reaction timing, knowing when to strafe or stand-still, knowing how to counter your opponent's strafe/aim

Reaction timing is a big thing that humans can't improve very easily, it's how you naturally are. It's hard to dodge arrows from 50 blocks away for someone with a slower reaction time, but it's easier to dodge arrows from 15 blocks away for someone with a faster reaction time. Bow is much more complicated than melee in my opinion, but I can't seem to master it at all. Bottom line, there are way more people who are amazing at sword than there are people who are amazing at bow. Correct me if I'm wrong


You don't need cps to melee ngl I have 5-6 cps and melee well

Real question here is (for build UHC)
melee - rod rod rod hit rod rod hit
lava - spam, spam, spam, drain opponents water, spam spam, drain water, spam, kill using no melee hits and they die from fire tick
bow - camp 3 hrs until melee-ing opponent decides to come out then spam the shit out of him until be goes back in his cave
