Bows Are Finally Dead
#destiny2 #destiny2pvp #d2
TL;DR:
Bows are dead except for Wishender. If you think this is a problem, help spread the word.
Bows are not duelling weapons at the moment, but Bungie just nerfed them with that thought in mind, when in fact, they're just used as Sniper replacements.
Bows could also be a fair and skillful primary. They need to punish the player for holding a lane indefinitely, and release the arrow immediately as they draw. This will discourage the bad habits that weapons like Wishender induce.

    For some time now I've been searching for guidance on how to improve while I approach the skill ceiling that destiny 2 has to offer, looking for new techniques and rollouts/rotations, teamplay examples and overall strength in a raw 1v1. While I think these things are valuable, and I am already learning them, mental health really is something I struggle with in my day-to-day life and it truly is my anxieties that bring down my gameplay. This has helped me realize that what will ultimately push me past my greatest heights is understanding when it's time for me to stop, take a break, and learn to be alright with the possibility of my failure or shortcomings. I feel very passionately about destiny 2's PvP, and my personal performance with my playstyle is something that affects me mentally. I play with a lot of players that I respect or look up to, and I see myself struggle under pressure. I recently played a session with Illphysics in his low-to-mid-level labs, and I found myself being anxious, snappy and impatient because I have immense respect for what he does and who he is. I was told that I was higher than the average skill that he wanted for the teams, and I ended up underperforming massively because of the way that this expectation affected my anxieties, and not necessarily due to my player skill. Thank you for helping me in this revelation; I will do better.

    First up, great video. Really high quality and one of the best, if not the best destiny video I've seen in a while. Some questions and opinions on the bow situation. If you make the perfekt draw time smaller like hynra suggested, wouldn't you just be able to spam reload draws to indefinitely hold the draw anyways and extend the perfect draw? Sure that's a small skillgap, but not really hard enough to outweigh the benefits. I think the changes bows received were an emergency way to get rid of the main problem, which is a primary weapon Sniper rifle. Yes you can still use them as a Sniper rifle supetitute, but you're not oneshot to almost anything in the game after just one shot anymore. It's easier to overwhelm bow players now, due to shotguns and fusions having way less availability and the rounds you play against bows, rare as they may be, have become way more enjoyable, because the game doesn't just grind to a halt anymore. Wishender being the only outlier still. This might have killed the agressive playstile for now, which don't get me wrong I hate that such a cool way of playing had to die for lanecamping andy's sins, but I hope that in the future they'll revisit this to implement a better fix. I espetially enjoyed the IB bow with swash and getting oneshot sprees. As a side note this also happened with sniper rifle bodyshot DMG. Mechabre could one tap in the body with swash, which made a uniquely agressive Sniper playstile viable, now that's gone. I think one way they could help is by increasing swash and Adrenaline on Bows and Snipes specifically to like 100% where they onetap in the head again. Might be broken but I doupt it since it requires a kill and of an ability at that, which is way less common now.

    • @mazokumo
      @mazokumo 5 місяців тому

      It's not "simply just" and you're not indefinitely holding the draw. Please try to put into practice in multiple scenarios such as movement, Strafing, jumping, getting flinched, etc. Introduction or development of incremental minor mechanics are meant to add up and combine into making a weapon balanced. After enhancing the perfect draw mechanic the way I described it, we can move on from there and if it's not enough, introduce more incremental roadblocks. A little something Extra to introduce difficulty or delay in maintaining full damage is something you can see everywhere in the game. Having to correct your aim for recoil with full auto weapons, having to adjust for flinch, delay in engagement due to your aim being punched to the ground after landing from greater heights, even the very action of having to reload after an Ammount of damage or time, are all incremental balance choices meant to make it harder for you to slay, and have to pace your engagements properly. We haven't even mentioned that bow headshot into halfdraw hald-damage bodyshot, which was one of the most skillful things you could do with a bow that requires you to be within 25 meters and below (because the arrow becomes a projectile that has travel time and an arched trajectory, and can be heavily affected by flinch, movement and hitreg), is no longer possible for aggressive playstyles, which is something I wished could be developed or encouraged further. As I mentioned in the video, the perfect draw window is barely fucking anything at the moment. Legit it might as well not exist, when the difference in damage is 5-7. Can you even imagine if that window/difference would instead be 100 damage? Again, I explain this in the video at 13:43. From 150 damage let it drop to 50 damage in the span of a few milliseconds, like the perfect draw window ATM is barely a hindrance and you don't think much of it because of that. You simply haven't really considered exactly how that would feel, especially in high level play where every second counts, and you having to redraw every half a second can be the meaning between you getting a kill or delaying your kill by 0.5 seconds because you had to draw-cancel to deal full damage again, and risk dying. For the record I never liked or enjoyed bow oneshotting tech I think it never should've existed in the first place. Even if it's an ability kill reward, I still think it shouldn't be in the game and that is one thing I like having been changed.

      @delta_1632 5 місяців тому

      @@mazokumo Thanks for the reply. That's fair, I didn't really think about the part of the perfect draw in the more mobile/agressive playstyle, for that it's definetely a really heavy skillgap the way you described in your video. My thoughts were more on the sitting in a lane and waiting for a head to peek out playstyle. I might be underestimating it from my point of view, because to me the reload cancel draw isn't difficult at all, but I also don't know how perfect draw would feel with the changes you suggested. I just can't perfectly imagine it and the part I can imagine doesn't seem difficult, mind you for a passive playstyle. But I definetely agree with your suggested change of the perfect drawtime. I just hope that bungie will keep updating the PvP sandbox as fast as they've been doing so far since the new Sandbox launched. Maybe they'll come around quicker to such stuff. Not liking the oneshot tech is personal preference I guess. I just thought it's risky/not easy enough to prock since it's a specific kill activation and thus enabled some cool playstyles that are uniquely viable and fun in 6s, but I also get why people wouldn't like it.

    Hey Mazo, thank you for this informative and thoughtful video. As an aggressive bow player myself, these changes have drained out the very last few droplets of fun I could experience with Destiny 2 PvP. My biggest gripe with all these changes is that we're essentially condemning bow players to a playstyle that we all, and I mean all want to be gone while leaving the main culprits entirely unchecked. When you have to ruin an entire archetype and playstyle to justify the existence of a single exotic weapon that has been left unchecked in both PvP and PvE for the longest time, you're clearly lacking foresight. At this point, I am feeling very hopeless with the future of bows because the developers are contemptuous enough to tell us on a livestream that these changes are exactly what they wanted and that they are fine.

    Interesting Merc saying what bows are intended to do is plank away from the back of the map. I'm guessing if that's where they want them, they wont do anything further but... really bows should be a viable weapon on their own and that playstyle does not allow them to be viable on their own, plain and simple. I think a simple buff would be to reduce the base draw times again so that all bows can be closer to 1sec ttk base - there are scouts after all. Also interesting note - whistlers whim with kill clip can still 1 head 1 body once you get a kill. Not sure how easy it is to get the kill, but am gonna start playing around with it

Despite doing the most damage, we also have the highest obstacles to hitting optimal.. never mind the mental stack of draw timing which over time definitely gets easier.. let’s consider what happens every time I have to duck into cover which puts a smg player on the flank immediately as I try to prepare the next shot or allows a second player to get in position to team shot.
