Try playing him yourself. Luck won’t do much for you. And even if you are right, which I don’t need to be higher than metal ranks to say you’re not, there are only 2 ways to make him more skill based:
- Increasing the arrow hit box would technically do so since it reduces the luck factor by adding forgiveness to missed shots.
- Or increase his arrow speed, which would increase his consistency at longer ranges. And since his previous speed was too much (125ms), doing this would probably demand a size nerf in proportion to the speed boost. The last time they did that (33% size nerf, 30% speed buff) was ultimately a buff.
So long as he is a projectile hero, he will always be pure luck. Let me clarify, his skill factor when aiming isn’t just knowing how far ahead to aim to hit, but being able to predict where the enemy will move, your reaction time, and how they will move.
Will they go to the cover
Will they jump
Will they crouch
Where will they use their movement ability to
They can’t rework him in any capacity you’re hoping for. The closest they might do would be to either make him a full sniper or fully lean into his spam.
