What do you think counters ranged?

Ranged as a class is already overnerfed, and everyone agrees that the problem with them is their amount...
So as a solution it would be reasonable to make/buff some counters to them.

What do you think they are?

For me:
1. Groups of melee that are larger then ranged ones (gone away already :D )
2. Other ranged (Team ranged balance maybe? Still I think it will be completely broken... unless
(click to show/hide)
It isn't easy to do properly... So will never happen.
3. Cavalry groups against small groups of archers is good
(click to show/hide)
4. Ninjas?
5. Something else? Maybe make an advertising campain for throwing knives :P
6. And I know it's nerfing actually.... :oops: But.... Make missile speed on lower tire bows less, but buff their damage a bit. http://forum.melee.org/game-balance-discussion/i-don't-get-this/

QQing on forums until they get yet another nerf seems to be the dominant strategy around here unfortunately.

Just need more Mateys around and then people wouldn't bitch about ranged. We would all be too busy merrily running down ranged players and bitching about horses.

p.s. i think part of the reason we have so many ranged is that the only reliable counter to cautious cav players is ranged.

Heavily armored 1h or lance cav with a shield. Even if he gets dehorsed, he's a huge threat to the ranged.

I hardly ever see cav getting dehorsed by ranged survive their ground napping.

It also happens to be the most effective

Right now, nothing can counter big blob of ranged other than big blob of ranged. But if we're talking about lonely archers, there are many counters. I used to be decent counter in my days, it's funny how every archer is (even the best ones) an easy prey when they are alone. Of course, that only goes if their clanmates don't "cheat", ghost on teamspeak. And in last year or so that happened too often.

Back in the days, there wasn't much ghosting and my agi build was a lot faster than it was a year ago. Archers also had a lot less awareness than they have now. My sword hit harder and all combined it meant I could ambush the nest of archers and kill them all in few seconds. That was a decent ranged counter, sadly big shots decided to nerf that build repeatedly and now it's impossible to kill blob of archers but it's still effective against single targets.

As an archer my self:

Other ranged
Shielders
and Sneaking up on me (mostly ninja/agi)

Also 2 or more cav works very effective.
