A way to balance snowballs is by adding a cooldown to them.
The reason we need a cooldown for snowballs is that spamming them requires no skill, and even a new player can do it. Adding a cooldown would force players to use a single snowball and then switch to a sword, which requires more skill.
Noooooooo snowballs are such an important part of the game and many times have have used them to defeat a player much better than me. Don’t change them !!!
This you?
But seriously, complaining about change on a website dedicated to making changes isn’t an argument that really works. Snowballs have long been op and needed a nerf. Also, one of the reasons people dislike them is because they can bridge the skill gap. Sometimes, if it’s a noob vs a sweat then I’d say it’s valid. But in every other scenario it’s just a cheat card.
