    28.6%
  2. No. arrows can go strait though a blocking sword.

    71.4%

    I'm bringing this up in a thread of its own rather than a comment I made. As a lot of people have said theres no way to edit archer without removing it as a useful class (ha I wouldn't mine if they removed it in general) My idea does not affect archer at all I just think every class with a sword should be able to block headshots (not reflect) At the moment only dwarf and elf can block headshots. And they are both donor classes which is not fair to none donors who want to block it. Even if you could block headshots you wouldn't see them coming most of the time. Heres my argument Donor classes Assassin and pyro can both instakill but both have a none donor counter and a donor counter (elf has water spell for pyro). What im saying is Why should a class paid for with real money be blockable but not a free class. Just a rant Please consider making them blockable. Ill also add a poll.

    I don't exactly like this idea... I main archer and for people who use the bow, let's give a scenario:
    There is a soldier running away carrying the flag, an archer is going in for the headshot! The archer hits the soldier who is BLOCKING up a wall, the headshot does not work and it only didn't work because of a kit and how to use the kit.

    Just leave archer alone. Without its ability to instakill from a headshot is its only balancer. like stomper in hg, it'd be too easy to counter, although you could still get a few kills, archer would be the most useless of the free kits.

    Archers can't melee well (Disadvantage against Heavy, Soldier, Medic, and others) , can't fight at middistance (Mage, Elf) and its pretty useless without his headshot since pyro arrows are way more effective to do damage...

    So no.

    Actually you're completely wrong on "Archers can't melee well". If you're bad at archer melee, of course you can't, but if you know what to do then of course you can.

    Class*

    Maybe the difficulty of archer headshots could be enlarged. As @FrootPvP said, blocking wouldn't be ideal.

    If nerfed at all, you should be able to block the headshot but it should then deal around 6 hearts of damage to a soldier (so it'll deal more damage to less armor). But I don't believe the archer's headshot needs to be nerfed.

    If you block headshot as dwarf you take A ton of knock and some damage. I don't see how blocking would make that big of a deal. Think about it most people can strafe when they see it but sometime they cant most headshots i take I dont see coming it wouldn't affect you that much. and your medic argument does make sense but most of the time the medis is in a flag room that can take headshots so archer is useless anyway. And I'm not going to leave it alone it is absolutely stupid that a class can find a spot and camp shooting at the same spot (where a sponge lands usually) getting kills and as soon as someone goes to kill it they don't even attempt to pvp just spam their bow as fast as they can. And yes before you comment I DONT DO THAT I'm not saying you in general should its usually new players but in my experience most archer do. And if archer a free class can do headshots to any one he wants wit h the exception of elf or dwarf with nothing stopping it but the ammount of distance and aim why is assassin blockable? If anything the class someone spent real money on should be over powered and not blockable but by a few donor classes. And I am going to say this in general if every archer on your team (and theirs usually a ton) became a heavy or medic on defense or soldier on offence I guarantee that team would win. I am going to say this again How would everyone being able to block make that much of a difference if you dont see it coming your screwed if your running with the flag back to your base your screwed but if your running and see a arrow and block shouldnt that be fair?

    I think that would be a start, but archer needs serios REWORKS, not only that ( maybe some reworks should make block with the sword not even needed) , as i said in my post. about archer isnta kill
