Honestly, their are lots of people who use the bow because they're noobs and can't fight, but the only real value that the bow has is knocking players off bridges or ledges - meaning that it's usefulness is very circumstantial. The creeper kit is just as dangerous in every situation. Imagine you start the game and look in your chest to get set up, then while your not looking BOOM someone walks up on you and drops TNT and you fall through the island. This can happen at anytime during the game AND SOMETIMES EVEN FROM YOUR OWN TEAMMATES. Then they can set up a cannon from a whole different island.
