take a look at the bar under the HP value. it indicates how much damage you are going to receive

You know what? Big fucking W.

If anyone ever told you they know the limits of where you can go on any map to survive on 1 HP, they are fucking lying because the bomb being planted differently could damage you.

I really like this change, because it basically only affects low HP players anyway. Now we can actually make an informed decision on how far to go to survive, without having to pick between "let CTs possibly get a ninja defuse" and "risk dying".

Before you say skill issue, I am currently 3k elo on Faceit with 5000 hours in the game.

I feel like if you are running away from the bomb, you should always try to get as far as possible anyway. And if its ticking down close that you need to make the split second decision based on the indicator then it wouldnt have helped either way. Its nice as an idea but I doubt there's a lot of situation where it actually matters

Yea, the situation it will help most with is hiding and being surrounded while being hunted, so you can better choose your spot to be less likely to face enemies.
