my operator's special power is putting more bullets in their guns because they are cool and unique. also, they still get a gadget.

why do pro players set their DPI so low? I've been trying to get used to 400 DPI, and it's fine ingame (with the adjusted mouse speed settings), but man the mouse moves at a loving crawl during operator select. do they just get used to having to move the mouse so far for simple menu interaction?

it's been a fun mindfuck playing today, cause my reflexes undershoot cause I'm so used to playing at 1600 DPI, so I'll just be shooting thin air a few cm left or right of the person. I definitely feel better aiming, though, it's way more accurate. 1600 DPI picked up every micro movement so my aiming was insane.

the dpi doesn't -really- matter unless you've got something insane like 4k+ where sensitivity literally cannot be turned down low enough ingame to adjust for it. basically, the sweet spot is usually sens * dpi = 1~4k (which is a pretty big range)
obviously people play with higher and lower but most cs/ow/r6s/etc pros are gonna be somewhere around that number, with ow numbers being higher and r6/cs numbers being much lower.

the lower you go, the bigger a desk and mousepad you'll need to play and the more you'll be working out your arm to shoot mans.

I think I play with 2000 dpi and ingame sens at 2/2 which shakes out to about the same as like 10/10 with 400 dpi. don't need to bother switching dpi just to use windows so i can alt tab and wait for rounds to finish without really thinking about it. I could go lower (and I probably would if I really wanted to tryhard this game) but the sensitivity matches my overwatch settings almost perfectly, and that game kinda requires higher sensitivity in general for how vertical the gameplay is and the existence of heroes like genji/tracer. ultimate verdict: play with what works.

I love Ying's gadget, it's one of my favourites, but god drat I can't play her. People can still just look away and not get flashed, especially if they're tucked in a corner. So I'll trust in my gadget, only to enter a room full of people who can still see just fine. I've since stopped playing her.

Gotta go faster. Ying is immune to her own flashbangs, so use the time theyre going off to be fighting.

personally I just like yolo breach rushing with the shotgun. I've won a lot of games where the roamers just literally didn't make it back in time because people rarely expect ying and a shield op to be on the point within 20 seconds of round start.. she's also just a real monster and an rear end in a top hat on maps with any vertical play, just tear up the floor after planting some charges and let someone with a Real gun go to down through the floorboards.

also I wish planting the flashbangs on walls was less finnicky. I swear to god I just throw it at a window and destroy by own breach charge like 10% of the time still, always embarassing to stand there flashing your own team like a dildo.

the only problem with castle is that he requires an absurd amount of map knowledge and teammate coordination on top of being super reliant on certain points. which is fine tbh, some super high skill/coordination ops should exist especially with ubi's oft quoted goal of 100 ops. really the only op they need to 'fix' is tachanka.

Does Finka's gadget revive you from DBNO if you're in a Frost trap?

It looks like they've already started to prune the ridiculous list of things her gadget does (it now only halves flash duration and you still suffer the full effect, it was a 30%/50% reduction before) but lol holy poo poo she just does everything possibly to buff your team.

idea for attacking operator: he has no gadget and a really boring average gun, but he doesn't have a drone phase, he just spawns in to the game at the same time as the defenders. his special power is being so poor that he couldn't afford a smart phone or any cool sci-fi tech

e: he already sounds busted as hell thinking about it so give him a trash pistol or no weapon until attackers spawn in

Lol wait, people thought there would be renown refunds for attachments? Hahaha, who loving cares? Out of all the reasons to be pissy at Ubi, this is the dumbest poo poo.

As someone who bought the game during free weekend four months ago, i don't care

But i feel bad for people who just got the game a few weeks ago and just dumped all their renown on what could've been another operator.

And i feel bad for the handful of people who spent the 88k renown or whatever it costs to buy every single attachment for every gun for the sake of having a full collection or testing attachments methodically to tell everyone else which ones to use.
