I don't have the kit but I've seen multiple people use lumberjack and the armor frys pretty quick, it's better with upgrades. Also I have farmed teams ever since 2015, all I did was farm and I don't remember anyone using Archer effectively to kill me. Although now most games don't have enough people to kill a stacked person anyway.
Zombie - it's death circle has wither 1, you can just easily go near the farmer or die by the farmer using zombie, and your wither circle will damage thr farmer by a lot overtime, which will probably make him retreat, then, in-case of a farmer running, switch kits to Scout - has the ability to catch running farmers and prevent them from comimg back to your base with full hp for round 2. Lumberjak - does HELLA damage to the farmer's armor (maybe it takes a minute or so to destroy it, but hey it's something). Scorpion - a Scorpion can scorp the farmer to the void and basically kill him before he's managed to do anything. Swapper - if there is one farmer and 1 nexus miner, easily swap your position with the miner's and backstab the farmer. The kits that I've mentioned above do a pretty good job countering farmers, just like Archer. ps. count how many times I wrote "farmers" on this post.
Lol I am just joking.they won't remove it anyway but nerfing it would be a nice idea hate when people bow spam u to death.
Nowadays, there are a lot of ways to gain the xp even if you don't have a rank, i bet any decent player can make 25k xp in less than 5 days if he really wants that.. And when it comes to archer, it is balanced compared to the rest of the kits, but compared to its price it's not.. Even you mentioned that the archer kit is better than lumber and other kits when it comes to anti-farming, and mostly it's true, i agree with this, but the thing is that maxed lumber costs over 100k while maxed archer is under 60k (fact). I would prefer to see its max price over 100k instead to see it nerfed.
Mhm, I'll think of it. But yes, I've been bow spammed a lot. I didn't even know that shooting someone would give potion effects but it turns out it does
Buy lumber, doesn't cost much xp at all and you can stop a farmer fairly fast. Xp isnt that hard to gain without a rank, but most people don't spend it well. In addition, the only affordable way to stop a farmer shouldn't be a cloud of people bowspamming.
Why should be nerfed?all kits have a weakness point , you can kill archers with scorpio,scout,thor and ...
You can kill a full diamond prot 4 farmer using maxed archer, only by bowspamming. The sad thing about this kit, is that the total exp you neee to spend to max it is under 50k. you should get into a 1v1 situation while you use a farming kit such as vampire to see what I am talking about..
Well yes bow spam is very annoying. And if we decide to nerf it then how? Increasing the price might work, however what about the people who already have archer kit? Then we can nerf it in damage and or add a cooldown between shots. Let's consider both of these alternatives. First nerfing the damage but to what? It already does not do good damage it does do reasonable damage but not good damage. OK how about a cooldown? If the cooldown is more then 3 seconds the kit won't be able to keep enemies back. So we put the cooldown to 2 seconds. Immediate difference is that no more bow spam but now enemies can with quite ease get into your face and kill you. How about 1 second? The difference is not noticeable it is there but it is so minute. There are various other aspects we can mess around with which could be better then these options i just gave you.
