Stop whining about the hitboxez

Seriously, yall are trying to blame the hitbox increase for all of your deaths when in reality its likely resulted in less then 2% of your deaths because thats about all anyones accuracy has gone up since the changes.

No your not dying because your being “shot with logs” your dying because you made a bad play and got punished for it.

The hitbox change made the hitbox about an inch outside of the heroes frame which is exactly how every other FPS is.

Stop trying to pin the blame when YOUR the one to blame

Almost everyone’s accuracy has gone up by 8-15% though…

I guarantee thats not true. Not only that but 8% is just 1 shot in a mag. That is by zero means game breaking and can not be the reason why your dying. People are dying more because its easier to punish people who make bad plays due to effectiveness of heals being reduced

And the HP of every single hero was increased by 25%
Your point?

Given that I popped back into the game for one night and had mostly games of 60% accuracy on an off day, where as prior it was like 40%. I think the hitboxes helped my shots considerably. It’s almost as if it removed a fair amount of the skill requirement.

No it’s closer to 2.5x a head. You can shoot people above their healthbar and score a crit.

Sounds like someone has drawn too much conclusions by shooting stationary training bots.

I can bet if ppl didn’t know, everyone would be assuming they just got lucky and not even noticing it.

How about the fact that you can spawn heroes in the training range. Their hitboxes are the same as they are in game.

I repeat. You can shoot tracer, hog, Reaper, rein, kiri, etc above their healthbar, and score a crit.

It’s really, really obvious.

I guarantee that it is. It’s shown in my stats.

Your point? You’d be surprised at how little that matters when no one is missing shots anymore. Even I can play basic hitscans now when previously I could only play Tracer, Sombra, Echo, and Sojourn.

You can shot them as much as you want but they are still stationary. Even ppl in bronze doesn’t stay that still.

That doesn’t matter. The point is that the hitboxes are massive enough to hit when the crosshair is that far off. Whether they’re moving or not doesn’t change the fact that you hit headshots when your crosshair is objectively not on the head.

…The hitbox is so much larger, it is far easier to shoot them. My accuracy went from 40% average to 60% despite 2 months of not playing the game and barely playing any fps titles. My accuracy should have gone down. Especially, because I was pretty tired when playing.

I am masters. It’s not as if people were standing still for me to shoot them. It was just absurdly easy.

Saying movement doesn’t matter in fps game is like saying strategy doesn’t matter in RTS.

Didn’t say that. Check your reading comprehension and try again.

I love it because there is so much more to Overwatch than mechanical skill. The whiners are the people who were only good because they can click 4heads better than others.

Now they have to learn how to actually play and use the environment to their advantage.

The funnies thing is that it only benefits those who can’t aim (aka the ones who are complaining about it so they are basically being hypocrites) and doesn’t change the game for those who can already aim (i. e. high elos)

Except many of them are dropping out of high elos which is why they’re frustrated.

That actually would make sense.

Because they were never actually good enough to stay in those Elo’s they were boosted to

I have noticed that mostly all high elo players I’ve met on TikTok always have a group to play in.
