Disadvantage on purpose?
I know this is gonna sound absurd to some people.. Why is it that opponents seem to move so quickly and fluently but it feels like I'm stuck in quicksand? How do they catch up to you so quickly whe...
On Thursday I think I had a lot of shots not register, emptied a whole clip from a Volt into a Caustic and it was as if nothing happened. I could specifically see that only about 1/3 of my shots registered. He shrugged it off and downed me like nothing. In a later game the same day the same thing happened while shooting at a Revenant. I just stopped using the Volt after that..
Well yes, to some extent I have experienced some of it. Sometimes it feels like I'm slowed down in CQC but the other team seems to be all over the place. And I sometimes wonder, you know those games where you just rip through a squad like it was nothing? Could it be that at that moment that squad was experiencing this exact same thing? So, makes you wonder, if that is true, how big of a role does your skill really play in the game? Did I win by merit or was it designed for me to win?
As for the loot, people will say it's just part of RNG. I'm not so sure that's the whole story. The other day I was losing match after match and couldn't even get a kill. The next match on drop I open a door and lo and behold there's golden armor, a r99 with a blue mag with a flatline I believe lying next to it, just waiting for me. The lobby was also considerably easier. So there's that... I can't be sure but it does sometimes feel like loot will spawn to my benefit or demise. The hardest lobbies will typically have the worst loot. It's random most of the time but every so often I wonder.
