    Hey everyone! 24kNqte here, I just wanted to bring attention to the power 1 bows in CTF. I'm pretty sure if you've played CTF you've heard the term "bowspamming." With the power 1 bows, even just 1 shot can take half of your health away and it is very frustrating when a whole team is just spamming you with their bows. I feel like a good balance for the bow is to take away the power 1 and to make a delay in the shooting of the bow. With that change, the game should be a lot more balanced and more enjoyable.

    I'm not much of a CTF player and this honestly due to the amount of bow spam. The game is hardly hand-to-hand combat and I completely agree that power 1 should be removed. I'm neutral about the delay, because I think removing the enchant is enough to reduce the amount of bow spam in each game. So many people have been asking for this (especially recently) and I haven't seen one person that has said they like the power 1. +1 (:

    Hey,

    I would love to see this added to CTF. At least make it so there are no enchantments on the bow besides infinity, and make a cool down for 2/3 seconds. I don't really like CTF, mostly due to this issue, bow spamming. If this is added to CTF then I would for sure play it so much more.

    Hi there!
    I know bow spamming is a huge downer for CTF. I don't play often but I do play it occasionally and it's great fun honestly. But the thing is, if Power I was to be removed, it would also mean YOU couldn't use it. Having Power I on a bow isn't just an advantage to your opposition but It's an advantage for you too, I know bow spammers can be annoying but maybe just bow spam them back? There's always gonna be a time where you die to a bow spammer though and that's fine, but just remember if it was to be removed you wouldn't be able to use it either.

    Power I can be very handy for you too in a situation where you're too low to PVP someone so you just shoot them until they die.

    -1, have a great day (:

    I'm fine with removing power one off the bows, but please, please don't add a bow cooldown. Bowspam itself is an important part of the game no matter how you look at things, and adding a cooldown on top of removing power. There should be a learning curve for the gamemode in how the players try to cope with bowspam. Taking this away would be making the game that much easier (which is not a good thing).

    I recently just posted about this. I completely agree. Power bows against leather armor is simply too overpowered. Have a nice day/night!

    Hey Nate,

    As a player who recently started to play CTF again, I totally agree with this Idea. The power on the bow and the armour we are given with is not really working. And yes, I've encountered so many games that involves people just bow spamming and I instantly die within 3 hits and it's one of the reasons why I'm not really into CTF. In my opinion, having a countdown with the bow in CTF would be such a great asset to add so people could also use their sword to fight as well.

    Love, Floir
