So i recently made a suggestion thread to nerf/remove autobows, the reason behind it, is that the autobow is pretty overpowered, and there is no effective counter against it.
For example: If someone starts shooting at you with an autobow, you have ... things to do to chose of
1. Pull out a shield, the good thing is that it completely denies the knockback and damage from every projectile weapon, bad thing: you have to right click for it. Now this might not seem like a big deal, but most people dont have their shields out the whole time, and even if they do, on a bridge, it's one shot and its over. I don't see alot of people with a shield, so i don't see the shield as an effective counter, since pretty much no one thinks of getting a shield.
2. Placing blocks, This is a pretty good counter, ONCE you have built the blocks. To be a effective counter, the wall has to be atlest 2 blocks wide and 3 blocks high. With 2 blocks high you can shoot the top of the head, and with 1 block wide, you can hit the shoulders. Placing these blocks takes time, and since you get knocked around like the constant fire from the bow, building a effective wall probably isn't as easy as it sounds like. Also you can't place blocks infront of you, when you are on a 1 block wide bridge.
3. Popping a shield wand. I'll admit, this is a good counter, from long range and falling of the map, but from close range, the shooter will probably end up in the shield with you and will still be able to shoot you.
(If you have a counter i missed, be sure to tell me in the reactions)
Basicly, what i want, is an item specificly meant to counter the auto-bow. An idea i head in mind, is an automatic wall wand. This item will just place a wall on the block in front of you, where you are facing. My recommended size for the wall is 5x5, but the size could be changed. The wall will also be placed, if there is no block infront of you, what i mean, is that if you are on a 1 block wide bridge, the wall will still place, even tho it'll be basicly placed in the air. This wall will be effective from short and long range, and the only flaw with it, is if you are falling because of the bow, but to be fair, if item 1 can completely counter item 2 in any way possible, you should just basicly remove item number 2, since it's completely worthless then.
If you disagree with me, wether you have a better counter idea for it, or don't want a counter at all, feel free to suggest/tell it in the reactions of this thread.

reaction)...It has long cooldown durations and take LOTS of arrows to use. Lucky Islands is about luck.... Its in the name.... I don't see a reason to add an item just to counter another.
