Punch should be less effective if your Bow is not fully charged

We all know about Bowspamming and how annoying it can be... The biggest problem being that you can make fully usage of the Punch enchantment with it, which makes pushing enemies a easy task that just ends up being too much effective! That's how i think that Punch should work:

•Minimal Charge(0.1s): Punch is not applied.

•Medium Charge(0.2-0.9s): Punch has 40% of effectiveness.

•Full Charge(1+s): Punch works like intended.

That would be the perfect way to balance out Bow spamming, which is currently a really toxic and non-skill based strategy that makes battles boring

    1. Most servers don't use punch
    2. Attacking with a bow normally only good by drawing back the bow
    3. Why do you think it's toxic?

    I agree that punch should be less if the bow is not fully drawn back, but I think that punch knockback should simply be multiplied by arrow speed.

    This way, punch is most effective at close range with a fully charged bow.
