This is one of the dumbest “arguments” I’ve seen in this thread. Deflect being instant is literally fine. The only problem with Deflect is the wonky hitbox (that needs to be adjusted).
Yes, shoot at him, because that’s how you kill people in this game.
When he pops Deflect, stop shooting, then continue shooting when it’s over. Deflect requires the enemy to, like, you know, exercise self control. But, for some bloody reason, fps gamers nowadays don’t like being patient and just want to secure kills as fast as humanly possible. God forbid players have to be strategic in their gameplay and do anything other than tape their m1 button down.
