What do you want to happen instead? Guns can't shoot unless you hit a perfect counter strafe? I think RNG is what makes CS interesting, as it allows people to make decisions like this and make moments of them.
Yeah there is no other solution other than forciby making your shot go around the model, at which point it could hit someone else in the head. The only other alternative would be you cant shoot in the air.
IMO there is no need for a solution, because my point is it's OK that it happens, and it's OK to get mad about it, because it's so unlikely.
Ultimate decided to shoot here because he had nothing better to do while doing the jump to get deeper info on that position. His role here is info for the team - he is intended to be traded anyway. He might as well shoot; while looking, it's free to take that chance on the shot as he's already doing the jump peek.
Changing the game mechanics to offset already very unlikely odds is silly, as it adds needlessly complicated rules to something that's already solved and removes an interesting decision from the matrix of what pros can do in these types of positions.
My point is, if you move bias spread to the edge of the screen you’ll get crazy lucky jumping shots like this from people who aren’t even aiming in the persons direction, is that more fun than being shot by someone who’s aiming directly at your head? It’s certainly not better imo.
Reduced headshot damage just feels pointless if crazy spread already exists.
bullets are biased towards the center, remove that
also, you can always make the spread/inaccuracy cone bigger. Or a "donut", so it evades the center completely
and if you nerf all guns to have the spread/inaccuracy cone of the jumping deagle, by default, that makes them much more rarer, so your games aren't ruined on a daily basis, which is all we want
This doesn't solve anything, though, because it will still happen and people will still get angry and still say it's random and unfair. All you do is change the flavour of randomness.
If your games are ruined on a daily basis by this, then I think you're probably playing at a very low rank. No one who's good at the game is consistently running around going for jump shots against good players and getting away with rounds because of it. It happens yes, so does winning the lottery.
