    Over the last few days I have noticed that the cbow is just too powerful. Usually the weapon is an instakill. Then to add to the bure of losing your 14 killstreak you spawn again, walk 4 blocks and get blown up by the arrow still lodged in your skull. The thing should be nerfed so you are not bound to lose when the other team has like 3 cbows.

    -Tails :open_mouth:

    P.S. I am always losing my killstreaks to cbow noobs who are like level7 still. It sickens me

    I used to think the same, but when I bought it I noticed it's not very easy to use. In my opinion, leave it like this.

    Agreed.
    It's rare to find a player thats good with the c-bow, so it's not a big issue.

    I don't have it but I rarely die from it when someone uses it. So keep it the way it is

    I don't have Cbow, but if you've even touched a regular bow in Minecraft you will see that it is very difficult to use against other players. You have to be naturally skilled with it to be good with it. That's right, it takes skill. Stop whining.

    The cbow is the regular bow in minecraft it's hard to strafe with it so you need to learn to use it in tight areas and learn how to rapid fire. It isn't op because it's hard to use.

    Really?
    I find it takes almost no skill, especially if the target is far away.
    As long as you're smart enough to lead and know the projectile speed and arc, you're golden, and will hit 90% of shots.

    I'm talking about general players, usually I never miss with a bow. For others if it's not natural smarts it is skill and practice.

    That's not skill.
    It's just knowing where it will go.

    Skill is taking bullet velocity, bullet drop, wind speed, AND THE COREALIS EFFECT into account.
    The bow is still point and shoot.
    It's just a harder point and shoot.
    If you know how to use it, it'll hit where you want 100% of the time.
    It's still 100% accurate.

    (IRL) Bullets aren't.

    Knowing where the arrow will go isn't skill.
    It's just intuition.

    You said you were 12 before, so I'll stop trying to explain it to your feeble mind.
    If you still want it, PM me.

    Okay. Fine.
    I'll dumb it down to 5 year old level.

    The Crossbow hits the place that you aim for, 100% of the time. No matter how much you suck. Might not hit where you want, but it'll hit the same place as long as you don't change aim and drawback.

    Bullets in real life, no matter how good you are, will never hit the exact same spot. But getting them close to each other is skill.

    I'll dumb it down a bit more if he still can't understand.

    Crossbow normally hits the place where you aim.

    Bullets don't normally hit the place when you aim.
