[Stats] +5 speed rating to Long Bow

[Nelo]

Yeah i start the poll to see if other have the same opinion like me that the long bow is actually useless now against the stats to rus or hornbow.
thats why a little buff to the speed rating makes the bow more compare to the other bows.
Lets see how the community thinks about it.   


P.S.: yeah i know my english isnt the best

meh while I think too the longbow is underpowered atm compared to the rus bow, I think it deserves a +1 on damage instead of a bonus on speed(and +5 speed would also be imbalanced and make it op)

+5 speed is too much, the sWalker personally doesn't think that speed should be changed as this was not the strong suit of the longbow...a minor damage buff like 1-2 damage or more shot speed 1-2 would bring it into a complete balance while still making all three top end bows have their specific niche.  The archer would pick their end stage bow based on their play style, and not on imba like it was before this last patch.

This. Wisdom.

If you check the linear progression, +4 or +5 speed makes perfect since. As you go along, the speed rating usually drops 3 per bow. But from Rus to Longbow, it's a drop of 9. If you take into account that the Rus only drops 1 instead of 3, then the Longbow by pattern would theoretically end up at 54 speed rating. Since all its other stats generally follow a linear progression, this off handicap makes it underpowered. Though if you wanted to buff damage instead of speed, that could also make up for it. But I'm betting anti-range would whine a lot harder following a damage buff than a speed buff.

Just bring other bows down to match longbows current speed and it will be fine.

This 100%.

+5 speed, biased much?

[Fluffy_Muffin]

I would vote yes on 1 or 2 but 5? Nah

[Bars]

Shit, if Long bow receive +5, then why we need infantery? vs that 2h and pol havent chance, and it will be hunt, not battle! i have 9 IF,57 body armor, but I'm dying from the three arrows

sry for my bad english

+5 speed, wouldn't that make it almost as fast as the Horn Bow? Hell, I'd like that in a way, except it'd completely invalidate the Horn Bow.

But really, as said earlier, +1 damage or an increase in arrow speed would be best, IMO.

[Lennu]

Long bow is supposed to be much slower than other bows. But now it's a bit weaker than the other bows too. So maybe increase the missile speed a bit? or +1 or 2 points to damage? 

Anyways, long bow has the same accuracy as the rus bow, best missile speed and best damage. So it already outmatches the other bows in long range sniping. Be carefull not to buff it too much, otherwise it will just create a new wave of whine "WTF, this same archer headshot me thrice in a row from the other edge of them map!?!?"

Wrong...
The long bow hasn't the same accuracy.
Each damage point decreases the accuracy by 1.

So the longbow is a bit more inaccurate, because of the 2+ damage points.
