I personally feel like removing bows from Sky War is a good way to improve the whole Sky War phase, In the early game (First 30-40 sec) everyone is just chilling in their own spawn island cause if you try to bridge out of your island you WILL get shot off and fall to the void, I think it is not healthy for the game mode that waiting for pearl cooldown is the main way to travel around. The only way I found bow useful is when there is a fly hacker and you kind of can mess up their hack with the kb of the bow shot, other than that bow is really used to stop others from bridging to yo or bridging to mid. These are only my personal thought and I would love to hear what you guys think.
I can agree with part of this, but I think it would be best for an idea like this to work with bows being removed from kits. If you can still bridge to middle or smaller islands, or even craft your own bow, that seems fine to me. It's still a big part of SW to have a bow, and snowballs/eggs still exist so getting rid of bows wouldn't entirely remove that aspect of SW (which I still think is important). It would still let that part of SW be around if it were to be in chests only or made by crafting, so that could be a good compromise.
Maybe adding a time-limited no Bow Sky War event to see how the public react to that, while it might not be perfect but I feel like its worth a try
In my opinion, It would be a great shame if bows were removed from skywars. They provide another skill level into the game. Bows are both annoying and very useful at the same time. If you’ve got two people building to your island it is basically your way of getting one of them to back off as they won’t stay on their bridge if they’re being shot at. Especially if it’s explosive arrows. On the other hand they are particularly annoying when you’re bridging and you’re one block away from your destination and you get hit with the knockback.

Hi there! As an avid skywars player, I feel the frustration with bow spamming. I think maybe adding a cooldown on the bows might help with this. Say maybe 3 seconds between shots or so? I'm not sure what would be the appropriate amount, but it's something to be considered. Have a lovely day! :)
Hey Monte! I hope you are having a lovely day / night! As a skywars player myself, I think bows are a huge part of skywars in general and I 100% believe that they should not be removed. This is because if you can sort your inventory really quickly you could possibly get to your neighbour island before they notice, or even mid. Tnt jumping, ice and water buckets are also also great things to use if you are scared you will be shot off. I do really like Lxvely's idea of having a little cooldown on bows (something similar to enderpearls) to prevent bow spamming. Overall on this thread it will be a -1 from me Have a great rest of your day / night! Dm me on discord if you have any questions (Mentioned in my signature) -boom
if they do add togglable arrows, they need to add toggleable kits as i dont want my kits taking up all my inv space
I feel like cooldown on bow is the way, it kind of allow plays for good bower but didn't abuse the explosive arrow and allow some sort of bridging
r I'm sorry but that sounds kinda silly and necessary. if someone wanna bowspam, let them. this is skywars not some sissy a$$ shit. tygn. there would still be snowballs and a cooldown on bows wouldn't do much
Hi Monte! I agree with part of this suggestion! Though, my opinion is to keep the bow, however, remove the P2W Explosive Arrows. This is so it gives [fairly] new players a chance against experienced, good players with high ranks. This affects times when players are forced to build out of dirt instead of cobblestone, which dirt against the explosive arrows will immediately break, apart from cobblestone which will not explode. Pros of explosive arrows: - They can break dirt (unfair advantage) - It can (in some rare cases) kill hackers bridging or scaffolding with dirt (good) Cons of explosive arrows: - Overall an unfair advantage - Sometimes it reduces kb (the person you are shooting will rarely not take kb) (unfair to the player) - It can be used as regular TNT, just it doesn't break cobblestone (unfair advantage) - And of course, deals a bit more damage than regular arrows (unfair advantage) With all this being said, It would be nice to have them removed, but in other cases, it is kind of cool to have them still. Have a great rest of your day/night! <3 nyfuh
