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...

@Sand_spitter One huge boost to speed is being on a ledge and slightly moving then sliding off that ledge. This will give a gravity landing in sliding form like say horizon would have landing on her feet. So if coming off a ledge rock or what ever be sure to slid at edge of that lip. A lot do not do this and ive seen it cost them their life due to enemy chasing is still keeping up due to user not having that ledge slide speed boost.
@E9ine_AC Thanks for the tip, I also try to go into a slide whenever I hit the ground so I don't get that small landing animation.
- @Sand_spitter Well say you are in frag. The back of the city near train tracks. that big cement and grass divider if you slide off that on the edge it grants a huge speed boost verse running. So you want to slide off that object stay in your slide animation. Never remove finger from the slide animation. This is something is used and perfected in firing range using octane on jump pads doing trick shots hip fire. This slide animation has soo much benefit that a lot do not utilize. Depending on map i can slide around like they do in titan fall. Just glide bouncing and sliding. Hip fire on the slide is also very good.
- @E9ine_AC Nice! The real issue for me is in game movement / actions feeling sluggish at times vs opponents. I don't notice it in firing range. And sometimes it just dissappears and everything feels great. That's why I started to wonder if maybe some of it is forced onto players intentionally at times. I also started to notice certain patterns with the game regarding movement / responsiveness that directly influences things like win rates.
@Sand_spitterI felt a lot of sluggishness lately, but what's worse is that there's input delay too. Maybe this was introduced with the latest patch, with the fix for the animation exploit that allowed users to draw and shoot guns in the boxing arena. Alternatively, it's possible that they increased some buffering values, to increase stability. It's not the same in all matches, so it's probably something that takes into account the average delay variance or some stability indicators.
It's normal for pursuers to be faster in general. If you move to the sides to dodge bullets, you travel more distance (20-40%). If you get hit by bullets or run with the weapon unholstered, you're also slowed. Deciding where to go can cost a few miliseconds on every turn. If you run away from someone who's pretty close, it's hard to gain enough distance quickly, actually none if the enemy follows your exact movement.
On top of the above, consider Bloodhounds with ultimate activated, Octanes, Pathfinders, Horizons, Lobas that are faster or can take shortcuts which are not possible for the other legends. Also, there are moments when the enemies use movement exploits (through macros), speed hacks and wall hacks, in that case only their lack in skills and game sense can save you.
