I don't know why but Badlion seems to love messing with Archer every season! Last time Archer was changed a lot of people did not like it at first but there was a happy medium between the effectiveness of short range bow and long range bow. And I personally thought that that version of Archer on Badlion was perfect but now this Archer really is shit! There should be no situation where a limp shot and a full powered shot should do the same amount of damage, but this happens up close and with the addition of ender pearls often it just becomes a 1 heart 10 block hit fest for the entire fight. There are times where a well lobbed limp can do more damage than a full charged shot up close. So I mean it would be great if Badlion could just revert Archer again, I really don't understand why it was changed but the change was not a good one!Posted on 24 December 2015 - 12:56 PM

Seconded. It actually encourages what the staff tried to prevent. People will just pearl to you and bowspam, since it's not worth to fully charge your bow anymore for the extra damage.Posted on 24 December 2015 - 01:09 PM
yes all of these plus make maps just for the archer ladder idk why you guys have the same maps for every ladder.Last edited on 24 December 2015 - 02:10 PM by thaunking
The new damage system in conjunction with the absolutely terrible maps leads to matches like this:https://www.badlion.net/match/arenapvp/1v1/3069626
My problems with the ladder:
1. It is absolutely ridiculous that a match takes 11 minutes because the entire time shots do 0-0.5 hearts per hit.
2. People end up sitting behind structures without firing a single shot because they are remotely close to dying (4 hearts or lower).
3. People who pearl then spam shots. Up until this season, getting close then flailing around like a moron while lobbing half heart shots has never been effective. It makes zero sense to me as to why a chip shot should do the same amount of damage as a fully drawn back shot at the same distance. I'll admit, early in the season I beat a person at high elo because I lobbed a shot so i could keep dodging that did 4 hearts. It certainly didn't feel right, though, almost as if I had abused a bug.
I would prefer anything but the distance-based damage. I would change it to last season's archer, or pearls + speed II.
