Bow Advice
If you're bad at the archer ladder or with a bow in general, I've noticed a couple of things people do when they bow. I'm not a bow god, but I've noticed something people do.

Notice your opponents movements. I saw during my first couple build UHC matches that people tend to mix the way they bow. Meaning an opponent for example will move left then shoot at the enemy, after they do that they move right and take their next shot. You just have to recognize their patterns. Some opponents might just keep moving left and shooting, vise versa moving right. If your aim is decent (really for a bow it should be) then you should be set. I noticed this and almost land all my bow shots now. I'm a 1400 literally started playing and can beat 1600's 1700's no problem.

Also turn hit boxes on (f3 + b)

I know it's a psychological thing, but when I use hitboxes, I can't aim for piss, so I've never bothered with it

It feels like my arrows get weaker because they look square and seem to move so slowly

Here's some things I do for archer (I'm 1900):
- I rely a lot on my aim, not strafe. I mostly get long-shots, idk why but my aim is better for long distance.
- When closer to the opponent, I shoot then jump and shoot then jump and shoot and try to figure out their strafe so I can get a combos.
- If you get the long shots first (2.5hrts each) pearl closer so there's less of a chance they can hit you and make it equal.

Hitboxes are good to dodge arrows, They don't really make you better at shooting them.
