you'd think such a straight up ability like lock on and shoot wouldnt be THAT complicated

[@Disappointed_Philosoraptor]

programmers are lazy (or "efficient", if you will). they will opt to use convenient shotcuts, such as hardpoints for lock on, instead of going through the trouble of writing code that locks on to any part of the hitbox. Not an excuse, just an explaination. They should have done better here.

[@Martinguy287]

I can’t say why they did it this way but as a software engineer myself I can say that MOST features would be simple and clean if it could be handled exclusively by one small set of programmers. Unfortunately features are not perfectly self-contained and this baggage or dependence on other features/other teams begins to grow and grow and grow as time goes on. Unless there’s not only resources spent but TIME as well to do massive feature overhauls then inevitably games or products of all kinds tend to become an mess and incredibly difficult to tweak in certain ways….still this is so bad hahah idk how they let this happen 😂😂😂 probably a midly reasonable excuse somewhere tho

[@willtollefson4746]

When player releases the Q button, the damage is applied to all targets in Cassidy line of sight. What in the world is this hard-point stuff for such a basic ability.

[@Disappointed_Philosoraptor]

Seems like the fix would entail a complete rewriting of all of the code surrounding deadeye. For example, LOS and hit checks for any part of the hitbox, not some weird jumpy hardpoints that are often outsdie the hitbox, not updated corrently and also depend on your internet connection. And yes, I think this needs to happen. or replace it with another ult entirely.

[@Hietakissa]

the real way to fix it is to completely get rid of it and replace it with something other than a quick reload

[@shadowflamelightburst4503]

I believe the comments of the actual video talked about soldier’s ult not having this problem, so maybe they could basically just copy and paste and adjust how it works a bit

[@gridgaming_]

if they replace deadeye the community will riot, thats one of the most iconic ults even if it's kinda bad

[@chiefnuclear4570]

Honestly? It doesn't even seem that hard to fix based on the information given in the video. Just make the bullet go to the hardpoint which you have LOS on. If you can see their kneecaps, shoot their kneecaps. Otherwise, the mercy no-regs can be fixed by just favoring the shooter. It seems the problem is that it re-checks where the hardpoints are when you shoot but the bullet is not adjusted, so sometimes the bullet goes wide. If the damage just goes by where they were, then there will be no issue.

[@xTrinity007]

it seems like it can track where to put the skull accurately? Why not just put LOS and bullet there?

Safe to say that was my last game that day

[@johntan4997]

Sojourn already has a weird body hitbox when standing still, even worse when she slides. Meanwhile her gun remains in the same hardpoint, often giving the incorrect impression that she is aiming at you.

[@joruffin]

So that part where he tries to shoot Pharah and the server rejects it is the same animation I've been finding when I stand in certain places on the training ground as Mercy and GA to certain highground targets. Now I'm thinking that OW2 just has a larger LOS problem in that the clients and servers don't agree about what it is.

[@MunchyInTechnicolor]

I've had this same issue in some of my games where I ga to a target but for whatever reason the game auto cancels it for me. At first I thought it was because it locked onto another target for a split second, but now I think it might be an LoS and sever/client issue.

[@RemedieX]

If you look at the shot missed on the Winston, it only missed because of what is later explained in the video. Deadeye doesn't favor the shooter in OW2, so even though he obviously pressed the trigger while the Winston was still marked and very visible (the deadeye marker disappears the moment you press the trigger), it updated AFTER the shot finally goes through and shot the lampost instead because it updated to Winston's hardpoints' new position (behind the lampost). Is it fair that HN doesn't favor the shooter to prevent dying behind a wall just as you got behind it? No, not really considering it's an ULT and every other ULT favors the shooter (including Visor). Even Widow and Hanzo favor the shooter despite the one tap potential, and that's not even an ULT. Effectively, 0:18 was the Mei example but in a real game. In other words, that Deadeye should've killed bc the trigger was pulled while he was still out in the open, not "updated" to *not* favor the shooter. OH, and one more thing! Not only did the ULT miss because it updated after it was shot, but if you look again at the beginning of 0:18 at 0.25, the Winston was visible for a solid amount of time before the ULT locked on again. It took the ULT a HUMONGOUS amount of time to re-lock on too, meaning that Flats only had the lampost incident happen because HN's lock on doesn't function properly to begin with. For example, Visor right there would've allowed you to lock on from the moment Winston shows up on the screen (despite breaking los mid jump to the right)! This is a very noticeable amount of delay from an ULT meant to lock on lol, and there's nothing Flats could do about it. The ULT needs a revision to its coding tbh, especially when Visor functions similarly, but without any of the issues.

[@verianlewolf2417]

judging by favor the shooter, i think i know why pose change does it, its because when you fire, the bullet is headed to the position that it should by your screen, but by the time the server gets your "fire deadeye in this direction" input, the hardpoint changes, so you miss because the bullet is still headed to old position, this is unlike bullets because it seems that bullet hit or miss happens clientside, then a "hit" or "miss" signal is handed to server and damage calc happens (this is why 2 hitscans can kill each other at same time), but for deadeye, your client only sends an angular vector of the deadeye bullet, and server decides hit or miss, which it then sends back to client. Its very weird, and i dont know why they make the exception for deadeye. this reason is also why pose change depends on ping, because higher ping means it takes longer for the vector to reach server meaning more time for a pose change to effect it

[@Ayakinim]

Lucio's aura has a similar issue where the LOS check doesn't use the same points as the visual indicator and there are marginal cases where someone can be in the aura indicator and not receive the aura. Not as big a deal as completely missing what ought-to-be a guaranteed kill tho.

[@sjshdjdjesj5628]

You can also be just outside the aura and still get the benefits, but the craziest thing is how weird the aura looks, its more of a decagon than an actual circle, and it has 2 layers to it that you can see at the right angle

I played cassidy yesterday. I came up with a solution: Solo ult half health enemies out in the open, close range. Only need about half a second to charge (200hp average) so a shot is more likely to hit. I came up with the idea after missing a 4k after clicking on 4 skulls.

[@Secarious]

Why was it not just as simple as - Check line of site to head of the character - display lock on marker at head of the character. - If trigger is pulled while line of site to head is true. Character takes appropriate damage regardless. - Bullet effects happen independently - transparent objects do not count as line of site. This means windows and shields block lock as well. -fixed.

[@gaberyan6283]

Seems like a simple fix can be established, first check los upon activation - end of ult, then if los = true within the last 300 ms hit = true. Regardless of envirorment (minus barriers) , the damage dealt should be based off the time dead eye has been charging for. With a setup like this peaking a dead eye is ALWAYS a bad idea since the damage level is based off the amount of time spent in dead eye rather then the amount of time you have been locked onto and it will hit you through walls if you recently peaked or got to cover. Sounds unfair but its an ultimate and has a myraid of counters to it, the man is literally a slow standing shoot me display until its charged up.

I'm a bit surprised that they don't just apply damage once lock-on is properly verfied during the actual ult use. What with this being hitscan and all. Maybe, just maybe, shields and objects are the reason this isn't the case?

[@Deucejr716]

What a crazy algorithm when this literally happened to me an hour ago in two games back to back and I was screaming about it in my mic lmao

[@VigilantIcy]

I actually wanna know if wintstons hardpoint is dislocated when he leaps would've been some nice info

[@PeaceMastah]

The reason why this doesn’t make sense to me is that when you look at hitboxes.. often times they’re bigger than the character model. Why is the dead eye not based on their hit box?

[@john_titor1]

Because it's prohibitively expensive to calculate los on any and all points of a hitbox at all times.

[@PeaceMastah]

@@john_titor1 That’s a feasible explanation, could be.

[@TMC_TimeLine]

Couldn't they have written so that if a single hardpoint would register LOS, it would shoot to that hardpoint? You can also write it so that it prioritizes hardpoint A over B.

Thanks to SureFour for this amazing documentary on why blizzard need to nerf Genji

[@SimCityEA1989]

As a McCree main, I hate his Ult so much... but it feels so FUCKING SATISFYING when it works and you drop an entire team lmfao

[@AnymMusic]

the worst thing is that this doesn't even *seem* like a difficult fix to make it happen much less. Only do an LoS check on the upper hard point and never check for the bind pose hard pose

[@arkohnlock4409]

And to say they could just fix it from the beginning by having this projectile (and only this one) travel through walls

[@F34RDSoldier805]

I FUCKING KNEW IT. That's why in most cases, it's not even worth using, because I get killed more than not. It's better to kill enemies normally than to Deadeye. I found that out since I started playing OW2. Deadeye is legit an ult not worth using 90% of the time. It's only worth using if your behind the whole enemy team on a high platform. And even then, to get the team on skull, it give most enough time to hide. It actually sucks. Deadeye is legit the Mccree just putting a huge target on himself a lot of the time. The Mccree going in and being in the fight instead of ulting and dying is actually more useful by a shit ton. But there are time you can use Deadeye and it scatters the enemy team or forces them off point which is actually gives Deadeye more use than actually getting kills with it. Because non Mccree players won't understand how often it misses or just doesn't kill people even if you have them skulled. Everyone is always moving in this game, so it usually means it will miss. Not only that, people usually move straight for cover cover as soon as they hear it pop, so by the time you get a skull on more than one player, everyone is near a wall or behind it, and believe it or not, deadeye doesn't hit, even if their not behind a wall, but almost behind it, because it aims a little ahead depending on the average speed the player is moving. The only time Deadeye really misses on player moving horizontal from you, I believe, is when there is a sudden increase in speed. Deadeye has been awful since I started playing OW2. How people haven't made a bigger deal out of this is actually shocking to me. Because I called out how stupid and broken this ult is months ago.

[@Winterhe4rt]

If Deadeye only hits in the chest it should also only check for the chest I guess. It probably means there are other unkown issues w that sysetm too tho.

[@aaroncapps1106]

Seek and destroy on ps1! That has brought back some memories. Big love my dude

[@fireblast133]

4:05. My guess? He’s in custom and set the damage on deadeye to nothing to prevent issues with positioning bots

[@reachtrev69]

Idk what everyone is onnabout. Every time I ult on mccree, my gun successfully reloads.

[@StarComet7]

Why don't just have it just do dmg with the los check instead of firing off a second check

[@jordancourtney9142]

I feel bad for the people trying to trudge through even with the messed up all, Cassidy is a hero that's essential to the ethos of overwatch and he should be balanced in a way that makes sense in the game

[@iminumst7827]

"essential to the ethos of Overwatch" - Lost flashbang - Changed name

[@user-gq4fo8ie6p]

Results: dead eye is a reload animation

[@Astral_Penguin]

When dead eye fires you know Imm about to start emoting to sit down to avoid it

[@Refracturon]

Gonna be honest, that probably wouldn’t happen if the bullet hardpoint was the lock-on indicator instead of 3 different places to check.

[@firstmatesassy5500]

Why does Zen's bind pose look like he's like "TAKE ME NOW!" 😂

[@666narutomanfan]

Even when deadeye worked pros used it for reload instead, feel like the devs should just change the ult altogether. Infinite ammo or rolls would be cool, but what if we brought back his flash as a low cd ult?

[@alwayswatching5545]

Holy shit, I’ve never seen anyone else that knows of Seek and Destroy’s existence, that was my favorite game as a kid

[@vandeloriainx35]

I've had my deadeye miss while I was falling and a Anna who was jumping in place, was completely unobstructed. The red circle filled in and she took no damage from it.

[@Randoman590]

Thankfully, most of these issues are now fixed as of Season 4 onwards. Marblr's original video has more detail in its description.
