How?
Blizzard doesn't know how to make a fps
>>340564052
Again with this shit?
friendly reminder that this actually raises the skill ceiling, as you have to learn where you can shoot. this makes the game even more competitive.
Character hitboxes are capsule shaped instead of having a box for each limb and body section like TF2.
Headshot is determined by height on the capsule
After the hit is confirmed it snaps the projectile to the closest spot on the mesh to apply decals particles or props.

I disagree with this, because fuckhuge disjointed hitboxes always piss me off.
But it's absolutely balanced, since everyone deals with the same hitboxes.
I get so many more hitboxes with Hanzo now that I know how forgiving it is. Makes baddies rage so much when I headshot them before they (visibly) come out a door
>>340564052
Baby mechanics crafted by a shitty company that seem to have completely forgotten how to make good games for 6 years or more. That's how.
>>340564052
only hanzo and mercy guns are bugged, hanzo is a low tier hero and mercy isnt used to attack they will also be fixed in a patch
/thread
>>340564052
Why do you care? The hitboxes don't affect the porn of the girls in any way and if you bought a Blizzard game because you thought it might be good you are a retard.

>MaceMadunus
I know you.
How's Eridan Crisis?
>>340564827
But it's not balanced. Some people get huge bonuses for headshots while others get little to none.
Likewise, some heroes are balanced around requiring skill to aim. They do huge damage if they hit, but each missed shot is a huge drop in DPS for them compared to that guy who can fire 50x faster than you.
>>340565028
Uhh.. no, every weapon that can headshot has this effect
>>340565293
But the game is already "balanced" around that
Junkrat and Pharah are great, and neither can get headshots.
How?
/v/ will defend this
>>340565461
Yeah, and Widowmaker is broken because she doesn't need to aim to get headshots thanks to the huge as fuck hit boxes.
Junkrat gains no bonus from a huge head hitbox. Widowmaker gains the ability to spray and pray for 1 shot kills against an entire team thanks to it.
That's not balanced.
>>340565619
No need to exaggerate, Champ. Widow still has to aim, it's just not as hard as it looks. If she's spraying and praying then she's not shooting fully charged shots and therefore won't one shot anyone.
>>340565846
>won't one shot anyone.
It's a good thing it takes less than 0.5 seconds to charge a shot enough that it will 1 shot kill anyone except tanks with a headshot.
>>340565514
but that only works with sniper huntsman and medic crossbow
>>340566061
That's not a good thing, she's the only team that when played perfectly can shut down the entire enemy team herself.
Luckily Widows that good are rare, and they still die almost instantly to any ambush character. I haven't found a widow that can handle a Winston jumping in on her. I even destroy Widows with Pharah as long as I can close the distance on them without being seen and picked off. 2 direct rocket impacts = instant death, they usually don't even have time to unscope and look around before they die.
She's on Blizzard's radar, but I don't think she needs anything but a body shot damage nerf.
>>340565514
looks like it hits
>>340566649
I was being sarcastic. Huge hitboxes benefit Widowmaker much more than they benefit someone like Junkrat, so you cannot say it's balanced because it effects everyone equally.
>>340566702
You're not that stupid are you
>>340566816
Yes I can
The hitboxes for widow's headshot are smaller than the ones for Hanzo's arrow. Test this stuff out before you go making claims about balance.
>>340564052
because of casuality
There's to reason to get upset. Overwatch is simply an "Aiming optional" shooter. There's nothing wrong with that. If you want an "Aiming focused" shooter you can just play UT or something.
>>340567653
This is my biggest problem with the game.
I am an ESL MLG Pro competitive shooter, I'm used to my godlike skills carrying my team to victory. I can't carry for shit in this game, it's all about placement and teamwork and shit.
>>340565609
It's because Quake has a bunch of player models that aren't necessarily the same shape. Traditional hitboxes wouldn't work for this guy.
>>340565514
this has been changed
anyways tf2 is garbage as well, why bring it up
>>340567409
>>340566816
>Hitscans
Pixel-thin ray requiring better aim
Instant hit so no need to lead shots
>Projectiles
Larger collision box on projectile allowing shot placement to be more lenient
Travel time, need to lead shots
>>340567653
UT has hitboxes just as big and boxy as Overwatch, using big projectiles that are easier to hit with, explosives with big blast radii and a hitscan sniper rifle that needs to be more precise, behaving just the same as Overwatch.
>>340564596
if this isn't trolling, like if this was any other game i would say it is but its overwatch, all games you have to learn where you aim you retard
this just increases the room for error, which lowers the skill ceiling
>>340569267
If you look at the Hanzo webm, it's not the hitbox on the projectile. It's the hitbox on the player.
>>340564827
If it was the arrows hit box, it would hit the wall, but it doesn't and manages to hit Widowmaker anyway.
I seriously doubt the game has different sized hit boxes for enemy players based on your character of choice. If it did it would potentially have to keep track of 36 different hitboxes per team. Which isn't likely.
>>340569267
The difference is that you're not moving a million miles per hour in OW.
>>340564596
>having shit feedback raises the skill ceiling
fuck off.
>>340564052
>>340564826
>dude what if we gave our game 1999 tier hitboxes and forced everyone to play on 20 ticks servers
