I’m an Ashe main… Sure, I land more shots. But like, I’m landing shots that I missed. I don’t want that. I wanna land shots I hit and miss shots I miss. Why would I want shots that I miss to magically somehow hit? Why would anyone?
I like the overall health buff, the new dps passive, the pharah rework, and I LOVE the fact I self-heal after 5 seconds of no damage as DPS.
But the whole projectile hitbox increase thing is whack. It cheapens the game. It devalues skill. It rewards missing shots. And frankly, it’s just weird. Seeing enemies die on shots I KNOW I missed… what a god awful feeling. Now I know what cheating feels like, bc it feels like cheating. I hope they revert it.
I actually died to an Ashe that did not hit me even once. Or at least they all would have missed during season 8. That was… An experience. I hope it never happens again!
if people like it, that’s fine, but this patch feels like a different game, and not in a good way.
I have no clue why I’d invest time and bother learning it
The edit isn’t much better-- I know a PVP game cant get “easier” (we can gloss over various things for now), but our point here was obviously that the priorities are different and not in a desirable way
Or increase hitboxes and it will have the same result. Either way, this is the new vision for this game. I don’t think they will back down. Not even once, I think I was bothered by being killed. You just have to respect people more, including Hanzos and hitscan.
Yes, in OW2 Season 8 and prior, the game had no strategy and no non-mechanical skill. Praise be to Season 9 and nothing else for inventing game-sense I guess
I feel like I can hit shots just by looking a an enemy now. It’s probably most noticeable on pharah, echo, mercy… Like I don’t think I’ve missed a single shot on them yet… I’m sure I have, but… geez.
I don’t like that any projectile of any kind is fake-larger than it really is… Like I think it’s annoying that it was already that way, but now it’s that way with everything…
It’s like going bowling for 10 hours with the bumpers in the gutters Hey, let’s go swimming! Where are my floaty things for my arms?
You’re missing the point though. I don’t think they are saying aim isn’t important. It still is. Which is why it feels weird when you should have missed a shot only to see it snap and count as a hit. It makes some kills feel unearned and vice versa with deaths.
im more mad about hanzo but yea i see the point in how fps players value actually hitting your shots
all this could have been avoided if they just straight up nerfed healing
a long time ago (i think like 2 seasons ago) when they said they were gonna nerf supports all they did was nerf some heroes in that role when they should have just removed the healing passive. then go from there… that was my opinion but
Not every time…It is now partly so that if you hit exactly the head it is counted as a bodyshot…if you shoot over or next to the head for it…it’s a hs…
So if I always make a hs, but the opponent always hits easily next to my head, he wins
Agreed, I do not feel satisfied anymore when I hit multiple headshots and get multiple kills, not really knowing I am playing out of my mind or just hit shots because my bullets are humongous logs.
It’s gonna by bumpy for sure. There is no way they can leave it as it is. As of right now, people are trying out all kinds of heroes. But it’ll only be days before we start hearing the real rage because Widow mains are gonna start taking over and more people are gonna become Widow mains.
All heroes health buffed, but Widow can still one-shot, yet Widow can literally miss and still one-shot. I would think it won’t be long before we see nothing but Widow’s and Sombra’s to counter… Sombra’s and Widow’s everywhere. What an absolute nightmare.
they just don’t learn from past mistakes. this is the exact same ballshide they tried to pull off back in ow2 season 1. with the “we’ll deliberately show you a lowered rank so you can feel a sense of accomplishment ‘ranking up’.” that no one liked. unanimously. literally no one.
they don’t care about the product. the whole team is comprised of a bunch of suits that clock in, fill their quota of mindless bureaucracy, clock out, and make money off of support mains.
Hey, let’s go swimming! Where are my floaty things for my arms?
