Archers were hot shit for all of five seconds until the Greeks invented the heavy shield and spear, and then archers poofed away into nothingness

I'm going to assume you're talking about 5e because you didn't specify a game and it checks that a D&Dipshit would spam the board with retarded bullshit instead of staying in their containment thread.

Shields in 5e aren't bucklers, they're held in the offhand and thus it is impossible to fire a bow and wield a shield at the same time.

Now if 5e had bucklers that would be a different story entirely.

A "game" that separates its classes based on the pop culture of the time period, maintained as sacred cows throughout editions, that also has magic simultaneously be so intertwined with everything but yet mundane villages and adventurers still exist because of said mashup of pop culture, isn't really concerned with "balance" in the first place.

But you knew that.
