yeah I agree! Widows are all cracked now in OW2, snapping to heads left and right
Not to necro a thread but I witnessed Torbs turret missing flying symmetra turrets. They definitely removed hitscans and made them instant projectiles but probably didnât compensate the tickrate to make it accurate

So on this whole aim thing, is this your-teams-lose-most-matches-aim-is-broken or you-canât-be-ultra-better-than-the-rest-than-you-already-are-aim-is-broken? Because for me, itâs most enemy teams just cremate me broken. Pharah flying around and I have Soujorn, Iâm not killing her. no, not even close.
Iâve tinkered with settings. did mouse stuff with my wired logitech. all and all I think it just comes down to everyone else aims better than me and thereâs nothing more left to do than play the game and accept the 90% loss rate. I canât do it. I get it that winning shouldnât be the whole point of the game, but it just brings me down that Iâm watching my matches just fall apart. flanked from all directions. out damaged, out healed, out strategyâd. What do you do?
What it comes down to is that as a platinum Ashe I just know the feel of the character in OW1, and in OW2 something was different. The patch on 10/13 does help it feel a lot closer to OW1, but not 100%.
As far as win & loss rate, I havenât noticed much different there in OW2. Some days Iâll go 7-3, some days 5-5, other days 3-7. Itâs just the name of the game. I will say, overall 5v5 feels less satisfying than 6v6⌠even when you win it usually is a tough win. Also DPS overall feels less satisfying and less rewarding in OW2 so perhaps those things might be swaying the way you feel.
The game is not designed for anyone to hold a 90% loss rate consistently, so if that is happening, something in the design feels wrong and I would continue to investigate that on your end.
As I mentioned above, there is definitely substantially more cheating in game then back when I used to play. The amount of plats/golds with cracked aim seems pretty intense. Itâs stuff I used to only encounter at GM. Youâll have a S76 that will be locked to your chest, then perfectly lead a grenade, before snapping back to your character, just like in GM. Iâd say itâs 1 in 3 games where I run into a hitscan that has incredibly suss aim.
Then there are people who are running trigger bots, whose aim is literally all over the place, and when they mouse over you itâs perfectly timed shots like on a McCassidy or Widow. Or people running small degree aimbots, where itâll snap to you when itâs close to your body model, but they canât track players worth crap. The big giveaway is the amount of deviation from a point on your body. Good aimbots generally will snap to the bone mesh and as such will have multiple aiming points, but bad ones will just lock dead center on your chest or head, which gives it away.
Cheating is most noticeable on characters like Pharah, because sheâs incredibly vulnerable flying around without LoS to block shots. When you do high-G maneuvers it becomes even more noticeable. Such as when you cut jets, dead drop, and then use a concussive to push you at a complete right angle, and you see a character follow that perfectly.
Then you can put into context aim vs game sense. Players understanding game mechanics, positioning, pushes, grouping, not over extending, overtaxing healers, or even just going to an objective⌠Youâll get people who have incredible aim, but have absolutely no idea how to play the game.
Either way, there are a lot of things going on here, I think the cheating is just part of it. It definitely feels like something that actively tries to push your aim away from who youâre shooting at. Opposite of the magnetism from aim-assist, which would be inline with Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment.
This is because of MMR decay, youâll find high rated players in lower tier lobbies, itâs not cheating because theyâre better than you.
I feel you. Winning a 5v5 doesnât feel as satisfying as winning in the old game and I canât describe why is that. Maybe the game now is just more like a skirmish, and everyone just do their own thing. When the tank die the entire team just falls apart despite having better dps or healers. I think the lack of 1 off tank impacted heavily on the"team-play" part since cover each other was the big part led to victory in the last game. Now tank is just meat head dps.
Finally, we want to ensure games play out fairly for all players in all matches. In a future patch, weâll fix an issue that could cause some rubber banding in-game. We also want to be certain that hit registration for shots fired is working pixel-perfectly. We have investigated reports from players about hit registration, and many reports are actually related to how our replay tool works, which does not perfectly capture the alignment of each playerâs aim.
Literal quote from the article released on the 13th October btw theyâre looking into the issue and itâll probably be next week when we see a fix. Not ideal but theyâre clearly trying to push everything in a big patch.
Dunno where you took this from but I call bs on them
You can see the stuck floating icicle on live gameplay

Iâd love for them to address the issue. If I aim at somebodies head, who is standing still, and shoot⌠It should hit them in the head. Ashe canât even hit the dynamite she throws anymore. Itâs crazy.

Literally from their own words from their own article 
Iâve had issues too of ana shots at point blank range missing whilst focused on your target I couldnât shoot it any clearer.
Yeah yeah, I mean what theyâre saying is bs, not what youâre saying.
Theyâre gaslighting the community into a âur bad lolâ when itâs their predictive model taking a huge steamy dump every now and then.
Oh I know. Itâs why Iâve not touched comp yet since placing cos itâs yikes. Not to mention when it does go wrong models tear as well. Iâve literally had hanzoâs backside glued to my scope as Ana and I canât see anything because his modelâs ripped due to something server-side.

the flaw with your post is that they dont care if you leave bc theyre making lots of $ anyways
Genuinely and truly⌠Skill issue. Peace out then :u
try to say it from an account that wasnât just created to display mommy issues.
Am I the only one not having any problem with any aim mechanic in the game?
no
many people have no issues. its probably hardware related. we donât know for sure but its also not permanent. some games are fine, others are literally unplayable.
Funny you would say that. Soldier keeps saying âAim where theyâre going, not where they are.â My thought when I first heard this was, why the hell is he saying thisâŚunless they converted all hitscan to projectiles? 
But I never made the connection that the aim issues might be related to this possibility.

How does instant projectile differ from hitcan?
