Headshots are a relic of the past. It comes from the quake days back in the 90s. A shot on a box slightly smaller that the normal hitbox should not be rewarded with double damage and breaks the balance of the game. Imagine if Dota or League gave extra damage for clicking slightly more precisely that another player. It’s just dumb.

It’s an intuitive mechanic, though, and natively rewards good aiming, which is good in an FPS-style game
I would be perfectly fine if they cut headshot damage bonuses to 1.5x, though, instead of 2x. A few heroes would need specific adjustments, though, like Ashe

Seriously?
Where is the most important organ in the body, the head. A shot to the head is almost always a kill
A shot to the torso is generally better for survival but not great
Shots to legs are pretty much safe as long as the crucial parts are missed
If we wanted a true crit area, there would be thousands of tiny hitboxes

Right, because realism matters in a world of people who leap 10 feet in the air, fly and alter gravity on a day basis.

Game mechanics are outdated. Each match should just be decided by a coin flip at the very start.

yawn another complete over exaggeration of what I’m saying, anything knew you want to add to the fourms or what?
Can you name any competitive FPS without crit boxes?
I’m sure they exist but I don’t know any.

Overwatch out of all games definitely doesn’t need crit boxes, that much I absolutally agree on, it’s unbalanced and broken enough without them as it is.
tf2 has no crit boxes if apart from sniper, Ratz Instagib has none at all.

Agreed, please check my post.
You’ll find the vast majority classic FPS limit Headshot bonuses to explicit “Sniper” and specialty weapons.
Team Fortress, Quake, Unreal, etc.
It’s mostly only in Military style FPS and Stealth-Action games that they were a standard thing.

Please give every character Doomfist mechanics, so they can barely aim and kill people in 1-2 hits.

…because…?

I mean it must be a reason you think this way. You have bad aim? Or did a Widow tilt you?
I mean sure, we could patch Widow to get 1 hit 1 kill on all body shots, if that’s what you want?
