Bump just to state that ok, aim assist doesn't really affect the headshots, but as you said, latency. Vast majority have bad latency with others causing easy headshots, that's why you'll notice vast difference in use of snipers than any other special. It's why people can snipe you within a second of you turning a corner, whether standing or crouching. Not everyone is a pro sniper, but sniping in this game is easier than Quickscoping in Call of Duty, which is saying A LOT! The latency hit box cementation on top of bullet magnetism compounds it to where snipers are easy enough to pick up, use it in about 7-8 matches, and be on par with everyone else. So, in conclusion, that curved bullet theme? Yeah, it's actually true, because as long as you shoot within a second of the enemy turning a corner, you'll get the kill, all because of latency. So, until they fix that issue that's been going on since the beginning, snipers will remain the go to weapon of Crucible Guardians.
