Bow spamming by Snowcone202 July 20, 2014 at 11:07 PM UTC

Bow spamming is annoying as heck.

Joao_Victor July 20, 2014 at 11:07 PM UTC

Is this a petition to make it illegal?

Snowcone202 July 20, 2014 at 11:07 PM UTC

No its just who doesn't like bow spamming

Snowcone202 July 20, 2014 at 11:07 PM UTC

I hate people who bow spam

MajestysDream July 20, 2014 at 11:07 PM UTC

You shouldn't really hate people for bow spamming on Minecraft. It's a PvP tactic..

Joao_Victor July 20, 2014 at 11:07 PM UTC

I don't really see the point of this then :/

The point of a petition is to request a higher authority for something, just a petition of who doesn't like bow spamming isn't all that necessary.

I don't find it a big deal. It's a legit tactic, however annoying and / or "OP" it is. (Quotations because it really isn't, in any form, OP.) Let people use whatever tactics they want, it's how they play their game.

So If I bow spammed u every single time I was on a game with u it would annoy u?cuz if ur saying that then I will do it everytime :P.Every time I go on a game people bow spam me when there about to die its very annoying and I don't like it

This is not a PvP tactic in my eyes. I see it as... As a way for people who can't PvP to feel good about themselves by sitting on a budge or at the end of a bridge just shooting the hell out of you. I hate bow spamming SOO MUCH. Even Ronloyd does. You should hear him when he rages against a bow spammer. It's quite funny but I know how he feels.

Snowcone202 July 20, 2014 at 11:07 PM UTC

See bow spamming is annoying as heck

Sword PvP isn't the ONLY type of PvP.
Bow spamming is harder, because you have to aim and draw to the perfect amount.

It's also quite easy to avoid arrows.

Yes, I agree with Maddy. I don't bow spam because I know a lot of people (like me) find it annoying as heck, but there are lots of ways to get around it. If I want to sword PvP, I just quickly spam my sprint button and spam my right-click to avoid taking much damage. Then, I get them into a combo and go to the right of them where they have to adjust their aim to get you, and I usually get them. You can also just shoot them with your bow if none of this works..

The point of bow spamming is to be annoying. That's how you win :P

ProfessorUtonium July 21, 2014 at 12:07 AM UTC

I think of bow spamming as a last resort(therefore I never use it) by last resort I'm saying when your low u just start bow spamming to make the enemy low to 1 hit. I think of it as a pvp tactic.

steven5703 July 21, 2014 at 12:07 AM UTC

Bow spamming is both easy and annoying. Therefor I like to use it.

BoldAndBrash July 21, 2014 at 2:07 AM UTC

Its one of my fav tactics....when someone goes behind u and brings u very low, just bowspam!

Once a player bow spams at you, bow spam them back :) (annoying as hell but, hope this will help)

cinammoncroc000 July 21, 2014 at 2:07 AM UTC

Everyone hates bow spamming?
*sits in a corner and thinks about his life*

Snowcone202 July 21, 2014 at 2:07 AM UTC

I hate it but if they keep on doing it I will do it as well. But it is very annoying

Cyrus49 July 21, 2014 at 3:07 AM UTC

It's a tactic, you're not trying to get it removed(i can't blame you if you were), As long as their not using hacks, spamming is ok.

Snowcone202 July 21, 2014 at 3:07 AM UTC

But its annoying as heck...I just trying to state that

BenDooley7 July 21, 2014 at 3:07 AM UTC

It is annoying, but I will say this: there will come a time when you need to survive a bow spammer, and the best way to do this is to know how to bow spam and freaking spam their little annoying face with arrows.

Y0urm0m1 July 21, 2014 at 5:07 AM UTC

bow spamming is annoying but really effective tactic if you know how to use it

not really, especially if ur close

HotAndCrunch July 21, 2014 at 6:07 AM UTC

If you are good with a bow then it is very effective but hard to master. I usually keep shooting someone from a distance until they are low then come in and kill them with a sword.

SpicyTunaRoll9 July 21, 2014 at 6:07 AM UTC

Like it or not, it's still a legitimate tactic. I personally don't bowspam because i find it annoying, but instead of complaining about it just find a method to get around it.

cinammoncroc000 July 21, 2014 at 6:07 AM UTC

In actuality, bow spamming is quite difficult to do against players who can dodge. You need good prediction and aim, as well as timing. And because your opponent is generally rushing towards you, you have to adjust all of these factors in a matter of seconds.

It is low risk/high reward and is exceedingly annoying but a good player knows how to fool a bow spammer with mind tricks, block placing, and just general strafing/dodging.

Snowcone202 July 21, 2014 at 7:07 AM UTC

cinnamon are u a globe?

Are you talking about what happens at the start of a game when no one wants to bridge or they will get shot at or when some in close combat fires loads of arrows at you [close as in sword range]

I was just about to ask this too :P

If I find a bow spammer close range, I just mash my sprint and run towards them, then block hitting when I am in range with my sword.

Getting shot at while bridging in my opinion just doesn't count as bow spam, **unless it is also close range**  so it should most likely be the other option. It's just called doing a 360noscope. Well, sniping.

....
I can't see the point of this topic
Even if you think it's annoying,what can you do about it?Bow Spamming is a pvp tactic,anyone can use it.
Ways to counter Bow Spam
-Fight Fire with Fire
-Juke all the arrows
-Move in an unpredictable pattern
-Place a wall infront of you and think of an alternative way to take him out

Snowcone202 July 21, 2014 at 7:07 AM UTC

The point of this topic is to talk about it.....
