nah man we had an xbow meta going on in EU lately that was stronger then archery. Im guessing its rly the individual skill level of player.
I've talked to the balancers about xbows and they told me its made to be harder for players than regular ranged classes, because the balancers for xbows base it off their 8 years of skill instead of the skill of the average player who wants to go xbow but they are going to be absolute trash because they dont have the same experience as them lol.

If they nerf ranged or they dont it wont really matter unless they extremely nerf it, players like Luker, Furry, Tomba, Frumpty, Hancock just to name a few of the NA Archers will always be great at it no matter what from the experience they have playing archer and it will still be "too OP" to some people and they will continue to cry about nerfing ranged.
