Ranged weapons deserve a buff

[{FP$}Alexeyka]

I know its a heavily melee oriented game, but even so, I think that players deserve to play how they please and have their freedom of expression. So I think Ranged weapons should be at the same power level as melee. Just my opinion.

Ranged weapon especially bow has been nerfed more than 3 times because it was way too powerful as part of combo route. The most recent nerf was like 3 months ago. In the hands of veteran players range weapons are more likely be the finish blow in either 1 v 1 or 3rd party. Right now, range weapons are still quite reliable to land you kills. You could watch some competitive games (such as the most recent J-cup solo championship) to see how those professional players use them. And in trio, it is almost always better off to engage in range fight and get the upper hand before even close in to melee.

I didn't know this combo was even a thing, but even so, devs might just butcher this combo route instead of nerfing a weapon itself to make it usable only in this combo. Like, I dunno, introducing some sort of cooldown between weapon switching or between any other ability that required a combo to work?

The damage of this weapon is so laughable that I really don't know how exactly you are supposed to gain the upper hand by removing insignificant droplets of armor. Isn't hookshot more effective anyway?

Here are some video showing why range weapons are great (they are common techniques used by many veteran players):

Those are mostly used in solo mode; however in trio mode where teamwork is more important, you would prefer to focus fire (with certain range Souljades) to either inflict the burning status or directly remove a huge chunk of armor/hp to a single enemy before close in with grappling hook.

Ranged weapons are very strong, wdym?

I personally have no complaint about them, and I'm not some god with the bow either. But they're plenty strong and feel good imo. Rifle probably my least fave, or crossbow. Bow, pistol, cannon are all legit though.

Buddy just because you are bad with ranged weapons does not mean they need to be buffed.
