No idea why you would be actively trying to use a long range weapon in a tower when most things require u to be close in the flagroom, But the only real useful thing about them is their ability to hit at a longer range. But this is where there is so many drawbacks. Even in a tower of you are moving to the flagroom at like swamp. And your at the sides to enter and someone shoots a arrow at you from the bottom. You could either
A. If your close to flag room go around the corner,
B. Face them because they can only shoot so many arrows before cool down then continue to the flag room,
C. Move out of its way

Unless you are like paying dead 0 attention to what is going on. They just likely won't damage you.they are more useful to hitting someone who isn't paying attention or is preoccupied with say another person.
They are even more useless in the open world because there is so much space and objects to hide behind it or dodge, You'll almost always be able to face them and not take damage, ect. That's why arrows alone arent really that useful anymore. Maybe with the explosive arrows even though it costed a lot of arrows you could cause a good AOE which was the only AOE
