Less strafing, more aiming
Most online shooters have similar issues, where players move left to right non-stop to avoid getting shot, whether they're being attacked or not. I also do it, because there is nothing which penalize...

Ok, now you're just nitpicking. Clearly there should be projectile physics at work. Bloom effect is not real, it literally makes you shoot at a direction where your gun was never aiming. There is a difference between the wind, distance, weather, and having a bullet be fired out of a spot you never pointed at. Fortnite has the bloom effect, intentionally designed for casuals that can't aim their shots and also because players die too quick, so they want to give them a chance. Trust me, I know more about this system and how it works than you think I do.
Okay i have never experienced it going somewhere i never aimed at i have had a person lag past my bullets or through but that's completely different
- You’ll also need to account for server lag.
At the end of the day, you have 61 computers communicating.
60 are giving input to the main (server) then the server has to decide what’s happening. It isn’t going to always be perfect and you need to realize that as well.
Just because you shot a bullet directly at someone on your Xbox, doesn’t mean that’s what’s happening on theirs. At the end of the day, the server needs to pick who’s right and who’s wrong based on projected and actual input.

It's how the mechanic works from a programming standpoint. There are plenty of videos about it on youtube to confirm what I'm saying. In fortnite, when you aim at people, even if you have your sight right on them, you can potentially miss. As newer updates came, they allow the first shot you make to go around the bloom effect, so maybe it's not as noticeable as it once was. Anyway, this is the main reason why I don't play that game.
