Gun Recoil

"miss a lot of your shots" That is definitively, demonstrably false, considering my Apex matches aren't hallucinations. I frequently use the R-99, and due to the camera adjustment, I experience little to no recoil even if I hold down the trigger with a level 3 extended mag. It is not uncommon for me to instantly down other players because I managed to hit them with every single bullet in the magazine. Your graph appears to display the unmitigated recoil, which means those are the alleged recoil patterns without any mechanical intervention from the input source (player or 3rd party program), which is irrelevant because not adjusting the camera per shot would be a hopelessly ineffective way to play a first-person shooter because of moving targets.

So, I'm not sure what you mean by "harder" recoil patterns. What I am saying is that there needs to be a combination of vertical AND horizontal recoil, obviously with a reasonable magnitude, so that players like me that take advantage of every last dust spec mechanic don't just automatically roll over casual players. I play Xbox and have played on PC and I don't use cheats, macros, or any 3rd party programs. It's just my natural gameplay, yet I have been reported for cheating numerous times, which I can usually predict when I land every last bullet in my magazine into moving target. The mechanics need to be improved. As for your point about range making it more difficult to laser people, that's kind of a red herring because that has nothing to do with recoil. That's bullet spread.

Also, I think you may be misinterpreting my intentions. I wasn't defending professional gamers or streamers by trying to suggest that they laser their targets because they are all fantastic at the game. What I was trying to do was explain that not every single instance of getting beamed by an R-99 is the result of cheating, but could be the result of a player that is utilizing otherwise poor game mechanics that need to be changed. Said players including myself.
