Skeletons are OP

Skeletons are so incredibly over powered as a mob it blows my mind. I play on normal difficulty and they can shoot me without even looking at me or and without drawing their bows. Do skeletons have a draw time? If no they should, if they do it should be increased. Also they shouldn't be able to do a 180 degree turn in a millisecond and shoot you, they should have to turn and see you, then begin their draw sequence.

    They’re not that hard to deal with, especially if you have a shield.

    I agree, they're incredibly OP now, especially in the Nether. I was okay with them before this update, but now they're so common in the Nether I'm getting groups of 5-6 of them every 3 steps I take, and they annihilate my shield before I can do anything. Their knockback is through the roof, and when I'm encountering these groups I cannot do anything, they're hitting me back and the shots are out of sync, it's literally impossible to get past. They've made the Skeletons far too strong. I play hard mode, but nothing changes on easy mode, they're still OP. I think the knockback should be lowered, at least. And their draw time is insane, an arrow:1 second. The spawn "weight" (chance of spawn) in soul sand valleys was raised from two to TEN. I genuinely cannot enjoy the Nether update because I can't get anywhere from how many there are.

    Yeah even in 1.20 they’re super op and when I’m mining for netherite they spawn in the mine and large groups of them too, and they destroy my shield extremely quickly, they have no reason to spawn this much

    If you have no armor and low hearts for some reason it feels like the CPU turns on Aim Bot

    Playing in August, 2024. Skeletons are still way too OP. Reaction time, accuracy, and fire rate all need to be nerfed.
