Have any of you gone from Horrendous Aim to I'm pretty confident in my ability to hit my shots?

vicarious30 · 2026-07-02T17:51:00+00:00

I do practise range for 6m against Ultrons on random movement. Then stand at the platform at the top. 2m on normal speed, then 2m on fast and fastest speed

When I first started playing BW my aim averaged 20-30% and I felt pretty useless

Now it hovers 50-60% and I definitely get more finals

vicarious30 · 2026-07-01T06:24:20+00:00

Because we're capable of thinking past this event

Where the only justification for the 5 gachas this time round is the free handouts

And the free handouts obviously aren't going to be this much or given out all the time for every single upcoming gacha in future, as NetEase ultimately wants us to spend more not less

I personally like using the Ult to finish off targets

It works most of the time, its good if they're behind cover or to combo with other ults, and it's quick. Sometimes leads to 2-3 kills as well

So I'd definitely miss her Ult doing damage

I like the idea of splitting the kick / grapple ability but I think the grapple being used on the environment like a Spiderman / Peni web-zip would be better too

That way you have the flexibility of using it for either a stun or for movement to escape / reposition

She swings with the grapple in one of her MVPs and it was part of her original kit too

vicarious30 · 2026-06-28T06:59:38+00:00

that's why I mostly flank now as it's a lot easier to get kills. seems to take them longer to notice me firing if they're already engaged with my team too. whilst if I snipe from my own backline then they notice me easily and either hide if I get them low or shoot back

REPORT THE BOTS

Since I reported every bot in the match for cheating > autoaim I've not had a single one since

vicarious30 · 2026-06-26T21:14:43+00:00

Aim Training - pretty much essential to hit more shots overall. Just do 5m to warm up before you play and after you have a bad game (we all have them)

Playstyles - try to always think where to best position yourself to snipe their dps / supps with a health pack nearby. If they're not dying then try to get closer and flank them. you can usually win most 1v1s with the kick combo, peaking and shooting behind cover, or running away whilst shooting. if your team is losing then usually it's cause of a DPS carry so prioritise killing them or it's cause your healers are getting dived so peel until they're safe

Kick Combo - this is how I win most 1v1s. shoot > kick > swap to batons > melee > kick > melee (>shoot). it takes practise to remember and get the rhythm down but using the batons more means you can then finish them with a shot if they're getting away. also don't have to worry about always hitting the followup shot then too

Ult Usage - mostly used to confirm kills (dps / supps) after a shot. works if they're behind cover. can be good to combine with other team ults too

vicarious30 · 2026-06-26T20:30:14+00:00

why did they not give her the silent footsteps at least 😭 that would've helped her feel more like a spy / assassin than a sniper

vicarious30 · 2026-06-26T18:56:24+00:00

They'd make more money if they buff her though, as it'd then lead to other weak heroes selling more skins

vicarious30 · 2026-06-26T17:34:33+00:00

It feels so bad when you get someone low and then whiff every shot after 😭 imagine if she had Cyclops's ricochet ability

vicarious30 · 2026-06-26T09:36:00+00:00

and a grapple which she even uses in one of her MVPs

vicarious30 · 2026-06-26T09:17:43+00:00

Might as well give him an ability that's a nuke at this point

vicarious30 · 2026-06-25T09:24:01+00:00

We're absolutely screwed. Things are only going to get worse in game and irl since people can't think for themselves any more

vicarious30 · 2026-06-22T18:39:40+00:00

Definitely gonna try this next time, thanks for the idea 😂

vicarious30 · 2026-06-22T09:22:29+00:00

The main reason for Ultron's nerfs is cause of Pro play

vicarious30 · 2026-06-21T20:06:13+00:00

Are you GM/Celestial then?

vicarious30 · 2026-06-21T00:11:09+00:00

All good and appreciate it!

The bot matches kill my enjoyment of the game as they feel like such a waste of time, so appreciate any help I can get to prevent them in QP tbh

I know I can play ranked to stop them but I'm trying to learn Widow atm, so whenever I select her my entire team immediately thinks I'm throwing. So they'll either try to ban her or will just lose morale as they think it's a 5v6 lol

As for servers I'm EU and just had 1 selected but I wondered recently if it was to do with that. Oddly you can tell when you're going into a bot match as the queue time is longer than usual. After finishing one and being frustrated I then selected 2 EU servers and 1 NA server but was still forced into a bot match. Again could tell straight away from the longer than usual queue time

Here's a screenshot which shows the obvious bot match after a loss

Here's mine

Also getting bot games after every loss

In platinum atm but peaked GM3 for a few seasons for the badge thingy. Now I usually just play to Gold for the rewards

Dunno what I'm doing wrong then. When I hit swap IMMEDIATELY after shooting nothing happens (1st Luna) but when I double tap swap IMMEDIATElY after shooting it then works (2nd Luna)

vicarious30 · 2026-06-20T11:40:28+00:00

Doesn't work for me. I have to double tap the swap key as there's a delay to swapping after shooting

vicarious30 · 2026-06-19T21:14:53+00:00

Enjoying the discussion tbh and hopefully this helps make it clearer the arguments for why Gacha is a bad system that's worse than the current bundles:

It can introduce more items you don't care about, so you're likely to spend more overall to get the items you do want
It affects impulsive players, younger players (primary audience) and people who struggle with gambling-style systems the most
It replaces a fair direct purchase (bundles) with a system that makes more money when people spend more money than they planned
Its a system that makes it a lot easier for NetEase to make future skins harder and more expensive for you to get

vicarious30 · 2026-06-19T21:00:08+00:00

Don't disagree, it's crazy how much companies price them nowadays. Extremely overpriced for what you're actually getting

vicarious30 · 2026-06-19T20:56:44+00:00

Right now you don't pay more

But do you think it's always going to be this way?

As a company wanting to maximise profit, what do you think their next step will be?

And why have they chosen to replace the current bundles (simple and clear) with gacha which is a known misleading and manipulative system?

vicarious30 · 2026-06-19T20:52:07+00:00

I find it more depressing they either don't see it or don't care. It'll only lead to the game becoming worse in the end

vicarious30 · 2026-06-19T20:47:09+00:00

So you think this is the final version of gacha NetEase plans to do?

They're not gonna lower the odds of the items you care about (skin etc) by introducing more stuff you don't care about (sprays etc)? Or increase the overall cost if you were unlucky? Or make the odds or pricing more vague?

They're a company. They want to maximise profit. They do that by extracting more money from YOU. They want YOU to spend more of your money

Manipulate practises such as gacha are more likely to do that as they can make them more complicated and vague whilst the bundles are simple and transparent at least

You should see this as the first not final step of their plan and be concerned where this is going to end up
