I see that all other races have cheap anti building ranged units the orc have the powerful goblin cannon the elves the fire archer and the skeletons had the skull firethrower
Can the humans have the fire archer ?Or the ballista from aos ( to have another counter options vs ranged units )?

That will be nice, having the Ballista.

well i feel the humans don't have high resistance to arrows ( well the point is that don't have a cheap unit that can resist the arrows like the shielder from aos ) the orcs have the powerful headhunter and the skeletons have high resistance to arrows even without upgrades )

Humans have still best amount of fireballing units, skirmishers (alsough i think they need a buff) catapults.

Yeah you are right but them are not cheap and the catapult need one upgrade before producing .
and cost 8 turns. When you play on skirmish with for example in perilous realm ( a small map ) with the AI on hard even if the skirmillers are upgraded them are no match for the elvens archers ( with +2 range and atk)

We need better skirmishers.

The Axeman can be the anti-building, but you can't build them and they haven't been well remade.

what about the trebuchet? the best siege weapon.

Sometimes you want something in x amount, most likely people will go over dragon riders instead of trebuchet.

Trebushet's biggest problem is that it has extremly small range of usage while at the same time produsable only in castles where you have far better choices what to train: imperials, drake knights.
Maybe if workers were able to build trebushets at least they would be useful...
