Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Hard posted:

For the long run cmon man think of the big picture here.

Long run path of least resistance favors both nerfs and buffs, on whoever is the farthest from the pack. But needed nerfs have a sense of urgency about them so they're more likely to happen. That and it usually requires some creativity to pull a guy out if the dumpster.

Is glaz' gun going to get some buffs rolled back with the thermals?

His recoil got buffed to being casi-none existent quite recently, I guess only time (stats) will tell.

People will adapt. Oh, Glaz is on the other team and theres a poo poo ton of smoke ? I'm not gonna peak. It's not like all other guns went to poo poo in the process. You can still headshot a fool with a handgun from a football field away.

To me it's not really the smoke, it's the fact that he will be able to hold a window no matter how bad the lighting is.

Yeah that's what makes him strong.

Also pistol irons are awful. They have it the worst of what I don't like about irons, that you have to basically cover the entire enemy with the sight to shoot at the head

The lighting is rill bad still. Every patch note has 'fixed lighting' and every time I look outside I go 'nope'.

This is sort of the reason why I want other sights on pistols, cause about half the defaults are not only bad, they're aggressively bad. The PMM is really the only one I actually like the sights for.

That and having a scope on the revolver would be kick rear end for Montagne players.

I used to like the red dot sights but now it feels weird. With the triangle sights, do the bullets hit at the top point of the triangle, or the center of the triangle?

Should be the top.

Here's the real issue: the acog sights are misaligned, so you need to specifically know where the bullet will end up per gun.

It's not misaligned. The first bullet goes where the sights is but as you spray the bullet deviation increases as a balance mechanism.

I'm actually kind of sad they buffed Glaz now. He seems way too OP. Every match so far today has had a Glaz w/smokes. I felt more satisfied getting a kill with him before, now it's way easier for anyone. Hell, a dude TK'd me for stealing him away.

Yeah I think this is too much. He locks it down any time there's a breach he can use for sightlines. Hibana or a Mira window create huge liabilities.

Confirming what Jones said, it is top. I agree that with the recent reduction, top from middle with the reflex is kinda blurry.

Also I want one of those little arcing line things showing the trajectory of my grenades, and for it to change colour for a predicted hit so I know when to let go of the button to get those sick smoke grenade headshots.

Also give me a scope for my grenades.

Doesn't need to be an acog, holo would be fine, Glaz's flip sight would be neat too!

Hey Hard, do you know if character speeds are all equal for each category or does each character have a slightly different speed?

For instance does IQ move at the same speed as Ash since they're both speed 3 or is Ash slightly faster even though they're in the same category?
