My suggestion is basically to make players block arrows or spears thrown by other players. make it possible but very hard to react to it.
and I'm not talking about simply dodging, you can do that, but what if the player can block it with precise timing.
(this would be amazing when facing off multiple enemies and one throws something at you)

So for example, a samurai's arrow can be blocked by Valkyrie's shield (or any other hero using a shield).

As for heroes without shields, they can just dodge normally or with a sick animation or maybe block them with their weapon.
for example, a warden blocking an arrow with his sword!

that would be F*Cking epic!!!
