i one trick bow, mainly because it’s the only thing i feel comfortable with atp
i mainly pick my weapon pool based on what im good with and what i think is fun to play. i started off my competitive journey with ttek since i liked having a bomb and just running and shooting. i picked up splash after bc of burst combos and crab was also satisfying, plus it was crab meta at the time so it was better.
eventually i had an idea of “im gonna master every weapon role” which i have done to an extent but i mainly focus on anchoring now. but since bp was good at the time, i decided to learn bp, i liked the long range mode and jet was fun to use, also zf was there but only in my back pocket.
across this whole time, i had been a fan of bow since i saw it for the first time, and i played it for fun every now and then. i was never any good then, but it was satisfying to use. i started to see players like NBound, Erito, SnipeZ using bow in comp, and i wanted to main it.
i made a team in september of last year, Squid & Co. where i would be playing bp and having the thoughts of maining bow, but at that that time cooler meta was prominent and everyone was realizing how good pencil was and still is. but still, i was playing bp and bow at the same time, but my team eventually made me get on pencil around the end of our lifespan.
ive been a pencil hater since day 1, i didn’t like the five shots thing, i didnt like how you have to hit people twive when almost every other charger is a one shot, i never liked how pencil felt, and still dont really like how it feels. but it was good, so i kinda had to use it, but when my team disbanded, i immediately dropped it and started going bow only.
and it hasn’t been that bad, ive been getting results with bow only, a lot of people have been saying my bow is really good, i feel much better on this weapon than other weapons, and i think that’s what should matter in this meta, playing what you’re comfortable with, even if it’s pencil. and for me, that weapon’s bow, and i will ride or die with it until i quit comp, which wont be anytime soon.
srry i wrote a lot lmao
