The reason there is aim assist on consoles, is because you can't be as precise as you need to be to use a sniper. We are playing on a stick that controls reticle acceleration rather than distance so the slow down when it crosses an enemy is meant to compensate for that lack of precision. [b][i][u]Aim assist is reticle deceleration not bullet magnitization[/u][/i][/b]

It's reticle deceleration that cause you to be able to full force push the stick across someone's head and pull the trigger and still get the kill with no skill just cause you were close enough

Edited by Traderkirk: 9/9/2016 5:59:11 AMThere is no "close enough," the bullet hits where you shoot it. The reticle deceleration gives you a [b][i][u]fraction of a second longer[/u][/i][/b] to pull the trigger. It doesn't slow it down to the point where you can realize that it's slowing down then shoot, you have to already know when your reticle will pass their head. How about equipping a sniper and actually try "drag scoping" and tell me how "no skill" it is. I doubt a shotgun has ever left your special slot if that's truly how you believe sniping works. Have fun on the bottom of the leaderboard! [spoiler]You won't get 5 kills in a game with a sniper, I'd put money on it[/spoiler]

Also it's not a [u]fraction of a second[/u], it's a noticeable difference

He says after [b][i][u]one week[/u][/i][/b] of having a sniper equipped
-
Jokes on you, I've been using snipers for the last week, and you wouldn't BELIEVE how many times I've just swung my reticle across someone's head, pulled the trigger, and gotten the kill, despite that with a shitty in my hand I normally get upper 3 on the end screen.
-
Lol [b][i][u]"the last week"[/u][/i][/b] No the jokes on you if you think one week holds any substance with me. I probably have more time with a sniper equipped than you do in total crucible time. [spoiler]This kid thinks he knows everything about sniping after "one week" with a sniper! 😂😂😂[/spoiler] You come in here and try to tell [b][i][u]me[/u][/i][/b] how sniping works. Lol get out of here

Edited by Wolfaru1: 9/9/2016 6:13:14 AMAs someone's who's been playing since release, day one, I never really liked snipers. And if it takes me a week to see there's a slow down when the reticle hits the head, then [b][u]it's apparent smart guy[/u][/b]. Also, where did kid come from? Makes it sound like you're 12
-
Lol smart guy is the best you got? If you think aim assist is why sniping is so powerful you have the small mindedness of a child that's why I referred to you as "kid." Tell me this; if aim assist is why sniping has "no skill" involved, why can I do just as well with a sniper such as praedyths revenge, black spindle, patience and time, or stillpeircer, which all have low aim assist values, as I can with the high aim assist ones like the 1kys? [spoiler]I'll let you in on a little secret to the answer of my question, [b][i][u]it's because I have a lot of practice, not because the gun does the work for me[/u][/i][/b][/spoiler]
-
Also Yeah, smart guy is the best I got cause Im trying to keep all of this pg, ya feel? If I actually used and sort of serious insult this wouldn't be a discussion, more of a roast
-
Roast me, then. 😂😂😂 [spoiler]don't worry I'll promise to cry extra loud just for you[/spoiler]
-
Yes, your tears will fill me with [b][u][i]euphoria[/i][/u][/b]
-
Oooh look he broke out a thesaurus. I hope your arms don't hurt too bad after carrying that from your bookshelf to your keyboard.
-
Firstly, on phone. Secondly, I'm [u][b]jacked[/b][/u]. Third, why not just look it up on my device? Forth, and yet again, fedora.
-
Oh no, whatever shall I do 😭😭 he lifts heavy things to feel better about himself [spoiler]jokes lol[/spoiler] Just try not to pull a muscle looking up words on Google, I'd hate to be the reason you miss a workout.
-
Careful, your fedora's about to fall off
-
This just got better and better lol And to think this used to be about aim assist now it's a roast off [spoiler]I hope you aren't taking me seriously I mean none of this in a personal way after it wasn't about aim assist I've just been having fun lol[/spoiler]
-
Awww look did I make the ape mad for insulting his muscles 😂😂😂
-
Aww man, your fedora fell off, let me get that for you
-
Oh, how nice of you, where's your zookeeper I need to tell him how good of a job he did at training you.
-
He shot me, rip harambe
-
RIP our Lord and Savior Harambe
-
Then you kinda missed the point of the entire point talking about primarily drag scoping you [b]dingus[/b]. Now you don't even sound 12, you sound 30 with a fedora
-
You missed the point entirely. Lol ffs I was talking about dragscoping. Your argument was that because of aim assist, it's too easy to dragscope. Am I wrong in saying that was your point? I responded with saying that the aim assist value of my sniper wouldn't affect my performance at all, therefor from my experience aim assist is not as powerful as you seem to think and trust me one week of sniping is not enough to have a solid argument.
-
Still glad that snipers got nerfed tho
-
I'd still wipe the floor with you, even in their new nerfed state.
