The only time I didn't like it is if the guy throws a foot behind me after spinning around and gets me or whatever because I'm sort of close to him. I can't just shoot a foot above roadhog's head and still ding him so I just wanted parity. lol

the self-heal is fine imo. gives you time to light him up and if you see an injured hog running for cover you can probably guess what they're gonna do. hes already a giant slow target when he's not sitting still

It's giving whoever inflicted that damage ult charge too so i think it's a fair trade considering his ult usually isn't a game changer. I'm not great at the game but i'm only now learning why standing at a choke point plinking away at ppl while they heal it off isn't a good idea lol

fair point. idk. the 25% overall nerf to ult gain was really nice for the game but theres little dumb things. like why in the world do you still generate ult points while youre dead lol

This game would be a lot better if there was no ults and no stuns and also if it had the maps from TF2 and also it was TF2

One of the greater joys of the game is mastering the skill of reading and baiting a hook and these gifs it's like they've all but taken the psychology out of it entirely. Lmao

Also for working on tracking people and stuff I don't know, you could try instagib and clan arena with lg in Quake in your off time. Lol. I have had above average aim since I started playing PC shooters in like 2008 so I'm not sure how much is just natural and how much you can train. Obviously it must be possible to practice and improve though, but I never did anything except just keep playing shooters.

ive been playing fps games with m&kb for 20 years so i get extremely agitated when people can't aim at a competent level

ive always preferred the weapons with projectiles over hitscan in the shooters i've been playing over 15+ years and now im a retard

They should just make the pull faster instead of having it pause between the hit and the yank. It would fix some of the more ridiculous dashing into cover hits and less vulnerable time for Roadhog would be an ok tradeoff for a less reliable hook.

I wonder how some of the bad aiming I see people do could even be possible but I just figure everyone is different so it don't annoy me. Something extremely bad Crosshair Placement does but that's kinda normal as well lol.

i think most people with bad tracking aim just have a sensitivity that is way too high and games like this and quake only help confuse that point for new players because you also need to turn around a lot

when i was unemployed playing quake 16 hours a day i spent a few hours making the perfect custom mouse acceleration curve

Lol i should make a good curve. I always had heard that higher sensitivity is better but lately started noticing doing so much better in fps from lowering the sensitivity a bit

extremebuff
Jun 20, 2010

i didnt have much trouble with it in tf2. i think its how the game handles latency combined with a lot of the models being really tiny and weird. tracer is practically 2D

but im probably just bad

I use to gently caress with acceleration but instead just ended up getting used to moving my mouse 8 inches or w/e to look behind me. IMO it's a personal thing though I do recommend people at least try lower sensitivities because you can probably tell right away if it's gonna work for you. When I first heard the theory about low sensitivity being good I went crazy and did like 16 inches to turn in a full circle but I've eventually settled around 10 or 11ish, or 32ish centimeters, I don't really remember. I stopped worrying as much about it as I got older and started realizing these games are more about your critical thinking and awareness anyway.

That one's only worth an OMG because it shouldn't have counted as a hit in the first place, since he missed by like 3 feet.
