How about a drawback to using EA?

Balancing EA:
I've thought of several ways that EA can be balanced without destroying build.

1) user experiences 5-10% damage taken from own explosions (except if explosion is on opponents body)
- this will limit EA users from wall camping and earning an instant win against anyone "foolish" enough to think that their melee can beat a bower up close.

2) nerf explosion damage in melee range (except if explosion is on opponents body). If arrows hit within a certain distance from casters body, the damage should be heavily nerfed *at least to the point where a quality melee can stand a chance against a camping EA.
- this will, again, avoid free wins and lazy play style by.

3. Nerf explosion radius.
- some of these maps are so tight, and impossible to avoid the radius proc by EA that even getting to EA user results in a likely death.

4. Fix broken EA mechanic. The explosion goes through some obstacles like wooden fences. It also proc's off of edges of map without visible wall.

There are so many things wrong with EA that at least one of these can be implemented to give every not manual cast tornado shot a chance at winning a match.

why not just add a damage modifier reduction like they do on all other skills ?

They'll probably do that at first before properly working on the skill later. it seems like RF is back from the dead so I expect the same thing for EA.

The T-override for Explosive Arrow has been changed from 1 second to 0.4 seconds. Explosive Arrow was doing too much damage based on the scaling override not accurately representing the time to apply charges.
