Let's talk about BULLETS SLOWING YOU DOWN

Freedatigerking

I've played a LOT of FPS games over the years and the bullets slowing you so much is one of the most cancerous things I've ever experienced. GIVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO OUTPLAY THE CAMPERS!
This mechanic not only promotes camping, but makes ping a much bigger determining factor than it should be. It is very anti-fun and anti-action. If you jump and get hit with any bullet you literally stop mid air and fall straight down. Am I the only one around here who thinks this sucks?
Let sage do the slowing, and if your not going to remove this terrible mechanic, for the love of god riot please reduce it's effect drastically. I feel like I'm playing against 5 nasus's with machine guns. How about we let aim determine the fight? How about we let people get outplayed by good strafing and movement? It's so strong it isn't even a slow really, you just get frozen in place with no chance to counter.

One last thing, there is something terribly wrong with the hitboxes in this game. I just had a game where I saw an enemy in hooka, and I literally could only see the top half of her head. I shot 3 times with my ghost and watched blood poor out of her forehead, only to get killed and see it counted as 3 body shots. How is that even possible if the hitboxes aren't scuffed?

Please join the discussion, I can't be alone here. Almost everyone I've played with thinks 1. the bullet slow sucks 2. Constantly having head shots count as body.

Freedatigerking the bullets slowing you down is perfectly fine... if someone shot you in real life you wouldnt just slow down you would probably never move again... so its realistic.... you just need to make sure you have information of where your enemy is, and when you peak him dont miss the head... and same for when he peaks you...

as for the information of where you hit your enemy that is 100% not working properly i agree, i hit enemy 5+ times only to show i hit them 2 times and body shots when it was clear headshots... hopefully this gets tweeked as we get closer to release.

just want to make sure you understand this, aim definitely determines the fight... if you are hitting me in the legs or body but i hit you in the head you lose slow or not....

your opportunity is checking your corners

Sergio

It's an annoying mechanic, right. But being a shooter makes sense. Bullets are supposed to harm the character and therefore slow down.

It has nothing to do, just check the corners.

Mixer-com-BudsterLKS Why would they add a realistic element that screws people over when the whole entire game is far from realistic. CS is a different story.

CaineFF

you say this promotes camping. what is the problem with camping on a game that is literally a protect the point game mode this isn't team death match and isn't cod

Mixer-com-BudsterLKS

CaineFF there are ways to beat campers mate... its called knowing where they are and prefiring... just stop bro people like you are what cause games to get ruined ><

[unknown] 80% does seem high but at the moment i dont have a major issue with it... know the mechanic find a way to beat it simple

[unknown] again being shot in real life you wont move ever again aka IT SHOULD BE SLOWER THEN SAGES SLOW!!!

it means you played bad got caught and now getting punished for your mistake... again learn how to counter the mechanic with smart play and prefire....

Somebody said it's 80% slow when you get hit, IMO it's too much. Maybe they change this in future

i agree i think the slow down is to much heck it's slower then sages slow ability and that saying something i think the should reduce it but not remove it .

Mixer-com-BudsterLKS only way to beat it is be faster than your enemy and kill him first, if you get hit into body 3 times and you have like 10-50hp left you can't do nothing, because you're slowed and your recoil is boomed, so you can't even shoot or hide because almost all boxes and walls are like paper, similar to de_nuke from counter-strike anthology. And imagine if you get headshoted by deagle long range for like -145, your crosshair will be teleported into another galaxy and again, you're slowed and already dead if enemy connect second shot in next 3 seconds.
And you can't even cover yourself with Jett and her ability to dash away, because there is little desync to server and you will die in mid dash animation and get teleported back to your first spot and die. This happen to me a lot, from my pov I see I was behind cover already and in just like one second I was teleported back and die. But this comes with last servers maintenance, same like fps issues on some spots.
So IMO 80% is to much, but I am not talking about nerf this to half or something like this, I'm okay, but 65-70% will be maybe better, just my opinion. I play FPS games like 15 years and I never met this huge slowdown mechanic from hit.

Mixer-com-BudsterLKS

FARRFARRAWAYY if you have 10-50 hp left then you need to improve on your previous fights... you are doing something wrong the slow is perfectly fine....

the only way you get slowed at all is if you were caught peaking badly or prefired like crap...
i stopped reading half of your post... to put it simply you are making mistakes fix them stop making excuses

[unknown] thank you i agree with this 100%

kapteinmerica

Bullets slowing you down is a perfectly fine mechanic, the only problem is slowing you down too much. Fighting a camper? Outpeak him. Can't do it? Get better

FARRFARRAWAYY

Mixer-com-BudsterLKS You don't need to read whole text, because now I know you can't even read. I said before it's okay but 80% is too much, you downvoted me and tell me I do something wrong.

And now you totally agree 100% with @kapteinmerica who's said: "the only problem is slowing you down too much."

For me it's closed, I'll never responde to this thread.

Edit_: I never said it's bad bad bad mechanic and devs needs to remove this thing, just said exactly the same thing as guy above. Don't know any FPS game without slowing down mechanic, maybe Q3, but this is not Q3 and compared to other games it's like double.

How is getting shot in the arm taking away 80% of your movement realistic in the first place. If a person starts shooting at you and you take a hit to the arm or a flesh wound somewhere else, you start moving faster than you ever have in your life. Realism aside, it just makes the game less fun, makes single shot weapons unnecessarily weaker and rewards pray and spray. The slow is too much and lasts too long!

Say I know I'm being overrun and I need to get into better positioning. I whip out the knife and try to dip but I get tagged. Technically, that should just be a "tag." But instead, I get stopped dead in my tracks and gunned down. Now you could say to this, "don't have your knife out, just don't jump out like that, just fire back, just fight." The point is that I need to reposition. So your argument would have no weight.

Scenario #2: Say I need to get from point A to point B (not sites) and it take one jump and then I'm behind cover. One jump. My goal isn't to peek and kill camper. My goal is to get from point A to point B.

ha ha noob get shot and cry. pro tip: don't get shot. not kidding, this is a tactical shooter and if you get shot consider yourself dead. to outplay the camper; step 1: aim for their head, step 2: open fire, step 3: pray.
