Waywatcher nerf - was it really necessary?

[Bogdanov89]

Patch notes from today state:
– Waywatchers: +1 second reload time, reduced projectile mass (cavalry has an easier time catching the unit), reduced accuracy (mainly noticeable at max range against small targets), Hawkish Precision reduced to +15% ap missile damage.

Honestly those are some hefty nerfs, all 4 of them.
As top tier Archers the Waywatchers were always kinda too expensive compared to other Wood Elf archers.
The recent buffs the Waywatchers received in Tomb Kings patch were pretty much reverted and then some further nerfing was done.

Frankly i don't think such massive nerfs were needed but i am definitely not a pro at this game.
What do you WElf players think of this nerf and was it really justified?

Yes, yes it was. Try asking people who have to play against waywatchers.
