Guys I have an idea.
If they want to nerf archery sooo much...
... and you, archers, don't want smaller dmg (even I think it would be stupid)...
... then nerf the thing that doesn't have to do with direct stats of bows nor arrows:
Removing stun from arrows when they hit!
No other nerfs involved, simply as that.
Note: it would be only removed from archers, but bolts and throwing would still stun enemy.
Second note: I am not for nerfing archers, but those stupid pole/2h-and-no-shield-guys whining makes me sad.
PS If you don't know what stun am I talking about, it is the stun after being hit with an arrow that stops you from running and keeps you in one place for like a second. You lose whole speed gained thru acceleration and you have to accelerate again which makes kiting archers a sick work. While this would NOT nerf archery directly, it would encourage archers to move a bit more and to not waste time for kite&run technique unless they have a really good timing to not getting catched when they shoot. And even if they do shoot you and kite, you are not stunned which also allows much smoother dodging vs multiple archer units at once. Simply and working.
Discuss!
Also I would please devs to comment if it is even possible to code.
