Ramsay was deflated at the end of this battle, his army defeated. He did show up with a sword at the battle, remember sing it in the preview for that episode.Yeah I know dude, I watched the episode....
Ramsay was a fighter.... he might not of been a fair fighter.... he might not of been a great swordsman.... but the one thing he was not until this episode was an archer lol. Even so if you say he tried sniping Jon because he thought he couldn't beat him.... why wouldn't you have a sword on you to try to defend yourself? Even during the battle he didn't have his sword.... no one does that, you always have your sword in case some shit goes down... a couple Knights break your ranks and make a run at you or you get flanked.
Ramsay got what he deserved, but based on who he was in both the books and the show.... they oddly turned him into a feeble character unable or unwilling to actually fight.... fuck Tyrion Lannister fought with weapons in hand in the Battle of the Blackwater.... but Ramsay goes without a sword and when Jon brawls him he just gets his face punched in without any attempt to fight back.
You realize Ramsay went toe to toe with Ironborn a few seasons ago and him and his guys won.... he couldn't of beaten Jon, but the way he lost was oddly dissatisfying.... IMO that is not who he was as a character.
He had already conceded Jon was the superior swordsman. Shooting arrows at Jon was just a last gasp effort on his part. He was already a defeated man and his army had fallen.
