All I know is before last patch I survived enough to make a couple of kills, now im lucky if i get to kill twice every 4 deaths, and its all because archers, they made it impossible to survive without a shield. Before this last patch i could do ok without a shield, runnin around, and yes i was also killed by archers, but on a normal ratio, not this masacre...They buffed them up just too much, and it makes things boring (except for archers of course).
