A bad aimbot? or what is this?

ZSYDNM

the hanzo on the opposing team. I see this a lot. I’m not thinking it’s an aimbot, but, their aim just jerks all over the screen. it seems rather mechanical, but it’s not locking on.

is this just lag? i see this quite often and i dont know what to make of it. Their aim isnt smooth, it’s “jerky”, it doesnt snap to any player, but it is snapping and stuttering and jerking to just random areas of the game. You can see it when he activates storm arrow, it fires, then jerks toward the target, the fires again, then jerks toward the target…rinse and repeat.

i watch some replays and i see some people who’s gameplay is smooth and others where it’s like this, and i wonder if it’s lag. I would tend to think so…except for one thing, and that is, it’s only their aim that jerks like this. Their movement in the game is smooth, like any other. There is no stuttering in how they move around the game, but their aim is “snappy”, but not lock on.

Any idea?

Looks like homeboy hasn’t figured out his mouse sensitivity. He also looks like he’s trying to keep his crosshairs out of his line of fire, which is actually a very a common issue that can make a person aim everywhere around their target but never quite want to bring their crosshair into line. Add to that the mouse sens issues and the fact that he’s playing a projectile hero and you have perfect recipe for a weird-looking replay.

Nice pick on that Mercy at 2nd point BTW.
