Why bolt reload exist?

There is no spell reading, no minion preparing, no bowstring tension before release of each arrows, few skills that prepare befor swing attacks, no hamburger eating before using poison skills, etc, etc..

Just why this piece of crap added to gameplay? I got idea of new fresh game mechanics, but this is excessive and only ruins all ingame immersion for crossbow bolt users, we can just fire bolts, without this annoying sounds of reloading every damn time and tapping 2 times to reload all bolts.

Why only this exist with crossbows, huh?

Why there is 1sec cast time in my spells?

which one?

The reloading is fine as a concept its keeps crossbows balanced the issue is the number of bolts u can fire before reloading. They need to make every skill load 4/5 bolts at least not one and buff the damn scaling on bolt skills other than nades and galvanic some of those have like 50% attack dmg by lvl 20 which is a joke.

No, it's terrible and wrong. It's 0.5-1sec of reloading too many times with useless timings which player can't control normally, there is no such thing with other heroes, but i know that some of them too slow for charging but at least they can timing that, but bolts hardly controlled by reloading and annoying AF, especially with 3 or more different bolts when accidental reload ruins all and waiting of it accidentally when i add extra bolts to be faster is terrible gamedesign

and fact that i need tap 2 times to reload when use other bolt every DAMN time, but if it was working like ranger skills, i would shoot ammo when tap it!

So it's most of bolt builds, but i know that f lightning bolt with too many ammo skills are op and can be builded without any other bolts, but it's minority of skills usage in this game, and it sucks.

I can say how it would be working normally for fair skill gamemechanics, as ranger for example: q- 1st skill, w- 2nd skill= that's all.
No f this: q- 1st skill and tap rmb, w- 2nd skill and tap rmb to use, and additionally tap severel times rmb with delay cause of reload when switch type of bolt..

It reminds me of hunting horn in monhunt series, it's similar bad game design where one type of weapon require too many extraordinary complexity for zero extra benefit.

Because every skill has an attack time or cooldown, while many crossbow skills are instant. If there were no reload, they would have to make the crossbow shots take about the same amount of time for the same DPS.

They made crossbows fire instantly and reload after, to make it feel different than bows. And imo they did a good job. If you don't want to reload, try literally any other weapon / spell type.

They were being ironic. They were making the same complaint as you about spell having a cast speed to show how absurd this complaint is.

Yeah, reloading is a unique facet of the crossbow play style. I disagree that it's bad, I find it to be an interesting mechanic. So idk what to tell you. Maybe try something else.

How u got that it's 100% irony? It's probably same complaint or metairony, game slow- i know it, but you don't get what do i mean comprehensively

So you're moving away from your 1st take, bravo. There's no point in arguing with you.
