Change bow spamming

I have a suggestion for bows. I think arrows should either be more expensive, or put a cool down on bows to prevent or to make it less likely to happen. Many players just sit in their bases and bow spam and most of the time, there is nothing you can do.

Now although I do agree a price increase on arrows and the bows would be a good thing, I’d personally just want hive to implement the sg bowspamming prevention system and leave it at that.

Alright now let me be careful on how I word this since I will get flamed if I’m not consise. I do agree bowspamming is kinda broken, however I do indeed feel that if you don’t try to counter it (i,e rushing in while placing blocks, using a pearl, or just going behind a wall), now are all those things a bit harder to do on console and pe? Yes, I hope the hive continues the trend of supporting device queues and does eventually add those to TW, however that’s a whole other thing, back to the main point, if you don’t try to counter bowspamming (not accusing you btw, this is just a general statement), you really don’t have any room to discuss it as being “broken”, and I certainly see players do this

most ppl can’t shoot someone while they’re jumpbridging or if they’re PE and sometimes consoles sooo.

If they’re at their base then they’ll be more than enough time to get full diamond and enderpearls.

@CommanderCweamy is right but I am not going argue over this topic and all the bow stuff

What about early in the game, or if you are trying to run from someone with nothing. Pearl damage takes like 3-4 hearts and if they continuously do it you really only get 2 chances with pearls.

My bad this was my first suggestion I wasn’t 100% prepared. It was 2am and I was fired up from losing a game to campers.

But what about early game or it’s an emergency situation. For example: your treasure gets taken and you run away with nothing in your inventory, their team mate or someone else is on another side of a bridge and is bowspamming you. How are you supposed to counter in that situation.

I agree but if a team is sitting at their base get diamond armer and pearls

Even if they didn’t have a bow you would still be stuck in the same situation.

But if you have click speed you could knock him away from you. You have an exponentially higher chance with no bow than with a bow spammer

If the players are even slightly competent then you are dead either way. There’s no discussion here

Realistically this shouldn’t happen unless you aren’t great at defending, died right before your treasure got destroyed, or neither of you can initially rush well, since this would realistically only really happen in the early game, bowspamming shouldn’t be an issue
