How am I taking this out of context? I'm quoting your post and working with what you said. That's not even close to out of context!
Anyways, tell me, Have you ever used a regular bow in eggwars?
That gives enough knock back to hit someone and knock them over a block away.
Then why'd you mention gold gens in the first place!
So? If they come naked JUST to get your egg, kill them and go for theirs. simple as that.
"Another strategy of rushing"
You made this suggestion, partly because you wanted to nerf rushing. But in the end, it's going to make it a bigger of a pain than it ever was.
Someone rushing with a bow that most others don't have AT THE START OF THE GAME = balanced.... TOTALLY!
1 I meant I never said that it is not overpowered because there are other bows in the game, I said that the other bow can be gotten within 2 minutes easily which means this bow is mostly useful for the beginning
2 I mention gold because it was relevant but now it is not anymore since people contributed edits to this suggestion
3 - Not as easy as that, you build over straight away the can barely get a sword and when they have the sword you just break their egg within 1 second because that is how long it takes to break through sandstone, which most people do not do straight off the bat because they are still collecting iron. And if they try to run over you can easily hit them of or run back over your bridge and break the bridge partially and then hit them off the bridge. If you rush them and build up higher then they can rush you can make a leap of faith to their egg.
4 That is true, I wanted to nerf rushing But the bow will give people a small advantage on boths ides, since anybody is able to get the bow kit not just the rushers, so you both could have the bow kit then bow eachother.
5 - Most of other people are able to get this bow it is not something u have to pay billions to get but only a small amount of 10000 which does not take too long to get. They are able to have a chance at least, with any of the following kits available it does not give the person being rushed a chance and if you are going to keep on with your side of it will be too op if they have a bow and they rush then I will counter that by saying then why is there a leaping pot which is also op for rushers.
6 - Please just see how this will go, I think this should go fine and be evened out but we will never know how it is going to play if we never try it
