I haven’t read all the replies cuz there’s so much, but I’ll give my two cents anyways.
Snowballs are annoying, always has been and always will be. Changing them away from the vanilla snowball is a horrible idea, there’s a reason they’ve been trying to get all projectiles to work the same as vanilla ones.
This right here is the exact problem. No matter how much you nerf them or make them hard to get, people will still find a way to get a lot. It’d make the pvp so much less fun than it is at the moment.
Even if they did find a way to make sure people have very little of them, they’re annoying. At least with a bow you can tell when they’re about to shoot you. So many people in tw would run around all game, and just wait for you to follow them and hit you with a single snowball to push you off the map. With a bow, they can see that and run back to safety. Bows are far less annoying. I do agree with nerfing bows up close again, but I’m pretty sure it’d break turrets.
Also, being on a leaderboard doesn’t mean you know how to pvp.
