Standard bow damage actually varies depending on the instantaneous speed of the arrow when it hit the target, but the average damage is 8 (minimum 5 at a fully charged shot, maximum of 12). Knockback was reduced slightly according to the devs but that change is negligible.I never said damage wise I said knockback, The bow does do 8 damage that is true but that is the reason I say only 2 arrows and yes you can get more arrows but I will then add to the notes that it will be on 2 durability so u can only get 2 shots in with the bow
Even though you get a bow with 2 uses, I still don't support this 100%. It's possible to kit farm still by dropping the bow and arrows, dying in the Void, and then respawning with a new set. If crafting is enabled (not 100% sure if it is in eggwars), then combining the 2 bows will result in a bow with 23 uses (2 + 2 + 0.05*384). Add that most maps have an active gold generator and you'll get plenty of chances to bowspam or get enough ammo you need.
Bumping the price tag up won't help too. While 100k+ may seem expensive, anyone who can point farm as much as possible by winning games will get that 100k+ in no time. The in-game cost (you most likely won't use that much durability) also makes it the most valuable kit in the game, way more than money bags or gapples. That effectively starts you with (less than) 8 diamonds and gives you early map control. General value for most kits is up to 10 iron.
