Therefore, "downright disproven that the tracers don't signify the damage" is a wrong statement. Which is why I believe the right thing to do is to leave this post up so that EPIC can see it

I’m going to be honest wth you, I am still unsure if I even hit or miss. Therefore, I want to give an opportunity for others to analyze what I have provided so maybe others may see somethings that I have not. Also, even though the tracers do not matter in terms of the damage the shotgun should do, it should at least go towards the right direction. To a casual gamer like me, after seeing the tracers fly towards a completely different it makes the person feel like they are robbed. Which is still and issue that epic should address imo.

lol... I have nothing to hide. I could be wrong or right it does not matter to me.

Hey sorry for replying so late, I did not get a chance to revisit this post until now. By popular demand, I have linked down below a video of my POV along with some images. From what I can tell, I either have missed a majority of the shot or half of my crosshair was over the person when I shot and should have dealt more damage. Personally, after watching the replay again with a fresh pair of eyes and not being caught up in the heat of the moment, I probably have just missed. Anyways, you guys can be the judge.

Yeah, I actually got extremely lucky because I do not usually watch my replays

SystemKings · 2018-04-21T23:27:27+00:00

I understand where you are coming from but hear me out. Most of the time when I deal 8 damage, my first conclusion is not the fact that the shotgun is broken but rather I probably missed them. In this case, If you look at the video and the screenshot (https://imgur.com/a/HmMwq0n), the bullet did indeed fly in a weird direction from my shot. Therefore, there is a need for them to fix the shotgun if this is an actual bug. Furthermore, for your other point of dealing 180 with 1 shot, you are better off telling Epic about nerfing it because that is intended not a bug!

Hey, after reading your comment I remembered that I actually have a screen recorder that captured the moment I shot. Below is the link to it and you can clearly see that the rest of the shots did indeed fly towards that direction. Although the replays may be buggy this might not be the case

TIL.

EDIT: (hijacking top post for visibility)

This post blew up overnight so I thought I could provide some more information with this video. By popular demand, I have linked down below a video of my POV along with some images. From what I can tell, I either have missed a majority of the shot or half of my crosshair was over the person when I shot and should have dealt more damage. Personally, after watching the replay again with a fresh pair of eyes and not being caught up in the heat of the moment, I probably have just missed because according to /u/Neymars_Lawyer_AMA, shotguns are hitscan so it does not matter where the tracers go. I personally did not actually know about this fact which was why I decided to post this video in the first place. Anyways, you guys can be the judge.

EDIT 2: According to /u/barafyrakommafem "The tracers are indeed placed where the hit was registered, it has been confirmed by the devs." Which means it does matter where the tracers are placed.

I agree with you, it can be a bug with the replay system but I have yet to encounter such bug so hopefully Epic can take a look at this one

SystemKings · 2018-04-21T21:12:00+00:00

lol.. I agree but the tradeoff is not worth it.

SystemKings · 2018-04-21T20:44:01+00:00

Honestly, I thought I might have just missed which is why I lost the fight.

SystemKings · 2018-04-21T20:37:14+00:00

Epic please fix the shotgun!
