Oh boy...
I predicted this would happen eventually.
I have a big problem with the new multibow. For several reasons. In basic terms, starting with anything else is dumb.
Why?
#1 In a game where accumulating money is the basis, obviously, the faster one earns money now, the faster they will earn money later. Considering that the damage dealt to creeps is far greater than any similarly priced weapon, it is obvious which one will 'farm' more.
#2 Creeps are really tough compared to a light vehicle at the start. These arrows make it possible to push all the way up to the towers in the middle, against a player with a normal weapon. The effectiveness of creeps as a balance/shield is removed. Put a teammate with you who has normal weapon, and he can just pick on heros while you remove their cover.
#3 We all know that big tanks will demolish smaller ones, with abilities alone. Well since im now an uber-farmer, i can afford my big tank while the guy with the more expensive weapon is left behind in the dust.
