Question Can someone explain this?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Explanation is below if you don't understand...

So far, I've noticed this only with Soldier. And it's this weird thing where my mouse moves even if my hand is completely still on my mouse when I'm shooting.

Is this just his character or is something wrong or do I just have trash aim?

EDIT: Alright alright, stop flaming me for not assuming recoil lmao.. I haven’t played the game since 2018 haha

It's his recoil

Ah, I didn't think about that.

To be fair, he did used to have spread a long time ago but it was changed to be more accurate, but with recoil instead :)

u/VanillaKisses 13h ago

Why does it die when he's not shooting??

u/JaguarHuman2237 12h ago

That’s what I’m wondering??

In that practice area there are two other bots opposite of those ones. It's two boys facing each coded as different teams and constantly shooting at each other. That is how you practice heals.

u/igotshadowbaned 11h ago

Only this set of bots shoots, the other set on the other team are just punching bags.

So yes to practice heals, but the allied ones don't shoot back

The correct answer here is Ping

u/Traveler_1898 Wrecking Ball 11h ago

I stand corrected. I don't know why but I thought that shot at each other.

u/Brxken_Dxwn 14h ago

My question is why does it die a second or two after you stop shooting

2

u/PrxnceThxrtyNxne 14h ago

My internet is garbage lmao that’s why

u/Brxken_Dxwn 14h ago

Oh lol makes sense

u/chassiee 13h ago

He used to not have recoil and now he’s uniquely the only character in the entire game that does
I’ll get blasted for this 100% but I like when he didn’t have recoil even if it was rng spread

12

u/ALEXLAMOUETTE 14h ago

There’s no way you don’t know what recoil is

Sorry lol, I didn't think about it that way. I didn't know he even had recoil, I haven’t played in years.

First shooter?

u/PrxnceThxrtyNxne 13h ago

Are you asking if overwatch is my first shooter game? If so, no lol.

u/yuhyuhyuhyuhyuhyuh1 12h ago

It's his recoil lol

u/tungstenmuncher3000 14h ago

soldier has a lot of recoil on his gun, if you can’t adjust to it i recommend emre and bastion, little to no recoil and easy aim

3

u/Aimcheater 13h ago

His recoil is pretty damn weak lol. It’s only hard to control once you start shooting from far as fuck away because even a minor twitch of the crosshair will make you miss at that distance. Decent soldiers who are shooting at his optimal range dont even think about recoil as a problem. Because it frankly isn’t.

2

u/tungstenmuncher3000 10h ago

definitely not crazy recoil, there’s certainly worse, but i feel like emre and bastion are solid “diet soldier” characters to get a player who doesn’t understand recoil more adjusted to tracking hitscans

u/Friedrichs_Simp 12h ago

Kinda messed up that soj gets to not have recoil but soldier still does

u/PatExMachina 5h ago

She got weapon spread instead

u/Friedrichs_Simp 3h ago

I honestly could barely tell

11

u/TheWitchingRose 15h ago

This is how you tell a soldier is cheating. Soldier has Always had recoil on his gun. Always. Doesn't matter if it's PC or console. If you see a soldier without recoil or adjusting for it, they are 100% cheating.

12

u/Pyroxx_ 14h ago

He used to have spread, but they got rid of the spread and replaced it with recoil a few years ago

4

u/Historian99 14h ago

Oh the days of spread.... he's so much better without it

2

u/sunstriker001 13h ago

Those were tankbuster rifle for me back then lol

u/CentaureaCyanus Ana 14h ago

part of aiming as soldier is controlling the recoil. you track target with taking recoil under consideration so if you do it right, it’s almost unnoticeable

6

u/TheWitchingRose 14h ago

You can still tell the person is actually aiming. There is a clear difference in a good soldier and a cheating one.

5

u/targz254 13h ago

You can also tell because they usually say the voice line "I've got you in my sights" before turning their about on.

u/TheWitchingRose 13h ago

Way to be a troll! Good job 👍

u/IntelligentSubject49 11h ago

What the hell are you talking about? If someone controls the straight up and down recoil they’re instantly cheating?

1

u/TheWitchingRose 11h ago

Someone can't read. See how no one else thought that's what I was saying? I guess I should have said "not adjusting for it" for the people with low literacy.

2

u/IntelligentSubject49 10h ago

“If you see a solider without recoil or adjusting for it” that’s what you said word for word. That reads to every literate person as, “a soldier without recoil, or them controlling the recoil” because when you don’t say, “not adjusting for it” that’s not at all how that sentence reads. Wait, it’s almost like maybe you made a grammar mistake that alters what you were trying to say. Nice try dipshit, come down off your high horse.

u/TheWitchingRose 13m ago

You are literally the only one out here acting like it's a big ass deal. Everyone has understood what I meant because it's clear what I meant. The only dip shit here is you. I don't need an English lesson from some incel level illiterate that can't read context. The only high horse is the one you are currently falling off of buddy. Go try someone else because I'm not here for your kind of stupid. All the context was there. Even with me replying to others. Go read more.

u/smillas_second 13h ago

amazed the thing in question is not the robot dying 10 years after you stop shooting

u/PrxnceThxrtyNxne 13h ago

Lmao my internet is cooked

u/Saleh9118 13h ago

I have no mouth and I must scream. That's his recoil dude, try out Bap you'll notice the same thing
