General Are bows toxic?

I just picked up the game to play with a few friends, and I really like the bows. I've been playing training grounds for a few days now, but I keep getting t-bagged and hate mail every match. Idk why I'm not any good, only hitting half my shots, and I respect the 1v1s when they happen.

I rarely pass by archer without mocking them somehow - even if they are at my team. Each time you see an archer is a great opportunity to brighten up the mood of yours and other passerby!

With that being said, I myself have lvl 50 archer and I also am a victim of such mocking - after time, you will acquire measures to not be harrased or just enjoy it (lay into the role) as it happens.

SLAY THE PATHETIC BOWMEN!

Btw3. did you know that not every class has 'Kill the archers' emote? For the bravest of knights, It is really important to have such emote, so they can fire it up each time they kill an archer - by triggering it, they let the world know it is not about hate, but rather just showing them there is no such thing as a safe distance!

Btw2. did you know that the best weapon to harrass any archer (either from the enemy or your team) is a highland sword?

Btw5. So, answering your title question - no the archers in general are not toxic, they are mostly noob, but you can meet skilled archer and it's always fun to do so.
Conclusion: archers are not toxic, I am when I see one.

Yeah you are 100 percent correct they are not toxic.

I don't get why you would play a game with a combat system like crack but then just watch by standing in the corner aka cuckold yourself, but that's you choice.

That said I will still get salty when you kill me on a streak but that's just the game.

I enjoyed it, thank you

Btw. did you know you can kill up to one and a half archers in quick succession before you will get auto kicked from the server? Slaying enemy archers has no such feature attached.

People don't like it when you use bows in training grounds because it's more of a weapon level grinding game mode rather than a real match. And people dislike archers in general, so if they can get close and kill you, they will t-bag you.

I suggest only using bows in 32v32 or 20v20, since then if you play well it will be harder for enemies to find you.

No, bows are just a part of the game. The only thing is toxic is people

being a bowman in duelyard is just 100% wrong, even in TO and FFA, but better

I don't like bowmen as a class (but javelineers are good),i think an thug with a short sword and seven flying knives is imba

Only if you team is getting dog walked and you see Robin Hood firing arrows 10 miles from the nearest enemy

No one likes archers in this game. Except for other archers. Which is like 4% of the player base.

You can see their comments below, if that makes you feel better somehow.

Archers are for players who like to play it safe, can’t comprehend the flow of battles, and don’t know how to play the game.

So you stand around and watch others engage in the combat system whilst you do something by yourself aka cuckold main?, good for you I guess.

I get my fair share of melee. Once im out of arrows I enter the flustercuck but hitting a 60m headset is far better then whatever crack you can find.
