What is a "spinbot"

Basically someone running around with invisible aim (they're not actually aiming where it looks like they're aiming), using an aimbot (self-explanatory) while also having anti-aim activated ("spinbotting"), which causes the model to spaz out and spin around at a million miles per hour making it hard to hit

It's basically just shorthand for someone cheating as much and as blatantly as possible, it's usually not accurate

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
Think they killed most/all of the literal spinbots with one of their general anti-cheating things. What made it a spinbot was when you spectated their first person view from the server's POV, their screen would be spinning at 1000mph in all directions and only stopping for like a single frame as it locks on a perfect headshot. For the client, it looks normal. The reason it does this is so it can aimbot at any angle in the full 360 degrees, so you are almost unkillable, whereas even normal aimbots can be shot in the back.

The whole spinning/anti-hit thing is different, and not really much of a thing in CS afaik.

Also just seen in this IEM Katowice draw, if G2 and nV (assuming they beat Heroic) lose their semi-final game, they get to play each other for a single qualification spot. That ought to be fun.

Is it the same thing as when people who go afk sit in spawn spinning around so that they don't get kicked

Nah. You probably will never meet a real spinbot.

:matters:


I actually just saw a spinbot about an hour ago on this pistol warmup server (Just some chicago place that I have the lowest latency to). First, he was just running around playing normally and the bot was posting usernames / weapon / location in the chat automatically as soon as he could see/hear someone, then he turned the spinbot on and it started saying "username was owned by TuxAimer!" every time he got a frag. Eventually we figured out you could !report directly to the server admins and they took care of it.

Edit: Are CajunB and Fox the only two players to have signatures on 4 different team stickers as of this major??

It's just a bind that they can hold. There's nothing more to it.

easiest way would be to bind a key in console to turn left or right and then just pinning the key down, but there's literally no reason to have a bind like that unless you're going to be an rear end in a top hat that's afk in spawn for an entire game

To the :c00l:
JW still needs to lift his game. I think the AWP nerf and hitbox fixes maybe had a big impact on his playstyle. The AWP nerf wasn't that bad, but if he would peek out and crouch, with the screwy hitboxes it would have been harder to hit him, but now its a bit easier. I think at that level every little thing makes a difference. When he was at his peak he was my favorite player to watch, I really hope fnatic can return to their previous level :allears:

Did you not watch them struggle against mousesports earlier? I'm very skeptical if this fnatic is even going to be worth a poo poo in a few months since they're doing the exact same things when they were having issues.
