It encourages long range shooting, while archers still retain close range stun. It's just buffing what they already do. Also, archers shouldn't be fighting close up, that's stupid.
Would you prefer close up extra damage? Because that honestly sounds even dumber to me. The archer is long range, mage mid-range, and knight close up, with builder being support.
I think you'll find that with the new loadouts and like, camping archers will be pretty OK. (Though if they prove troublesome I'll unnerf bomb-jumping)
