Another thing making ranged more powerfull in 5e: the lack of "sunder" as a concept.
In 3e you could try to disarm someone, or break their weapons. Neither were particularly easy tasks, but ranged weapons were relatively fragile and didn't give you an opportunity attack, so it was relatively easy for a foe to just break your bow.
