Overwatch

I'd like to see them fix the hitbox stuff. Really when I saw that video (and numerous in game killcam replays) I figured it was just a bug. It's a really easy mistake to make.

The usual code for testing hit stuff first tests against a biggish box. The box encompasses a standard pose, or if you want to be really safe, you can expand the box to cover all the animation frames.

If something hits that box, you then test against bone bounds, which are almost always capsules. It looks like they just have a bit of bad logic in there that flags the first trivial check as a hit. It's way too sloppy to be intentional.

...or they're designing for joypad controls.

Looks like rage Winston, so he hooked him during his ult.

I joined a solo queue game where our team just handed the other team the win. Very confusing and not sure the point.

Edit: something I've noticed over the last few days was when widow shoots her grappling hook it now seems to hit the closest surface that you can latch onto, even if it's 45 degrees from where you aimed. Am I crazy or was it not like that before?

I had to save this, but I feel like this is the reason people hate Hanzo. Like the guy a page? or two back.

Yeesh level 168... I've been playing a couple hours every night since release and I'm still in the low 90's. I only solo q 99% of the time so I'm missing out on the 20% group xp bonus too.

I've played a decent amount since release and I'm only 57. 168 is mind boggling.

Lol at this. Hanzo "headshot"

If the hitboxes or tick rate is a serious issue for anyone, you should just not play. Blizzard has almost no incentive to change any of it since the game is fun and popular as-is and hitboxes would dramatically change the feel of the game

If blizzard wants this to be an esport game they'll fix it. All the csgo players have migrated here but I guarantee they won't stay if the net code and aiming is shit.

It's already got a pretty big esports scene and it likely will keep growing. The tick rate has next to no effect on 99.999999% of all gameplay interactions, and the hit boxes are just the way the game is. If anything they could just slightly enlarge the character models and say "there fixed it" so it doesn't change the gameplay by making people harder to hit.

168, a lot of time for the summer and just wasting it on vidya gaems. If it means anything, I have only played 4 soloq games for the entirety of playing this game.

As far as the tickrate goes, I'm sure it'll improve overtime. I mean people are still crying for 128t servers in csgo because Valve MM servers are 64. About 90% of the player base wouldn't even know the real difference.. just a buzzword tbh. The hitboxes are fine and i'd be surprised if they even tried to "fix" it. Sure some games reward for fine placed aim, and so does this.. it just so happens that you have targets that move with dashes, wall climbs, and fly all around the place. No matter the case, its not "random" you just happen to be larger than you appear. Getting hit behind a wall like that is actually extremely rare. Out of all the games i've played and watched deathcams.. I have only noticed it happen once or twice but doing it deliberately is even harder.

It's fair to say it does lower the skill ceiling a little bit when it comes to hitting heads, but it won't change the fact someone is better than you and/or can out aim you regardless of the situation. Lets be real, when has blizzard take a game genre and make it general/casual/easy for the masses?

Yeah, they aren't fixing the hitboxes. They are as intended. They want the casuals to feel like they are doing good which includes me. I suck at this game but I feel like I'm doing good. That's Blizzard sole intention. I haven't had this much fun in a FPS since RTCW.
