I’ve been away from OW from quite a while til the resent month, and i’ve noticed something with the Killcam:
- It seems to be only showing the shooters perspective instead of the perspective of both parties combined.
As with the resent patches, the latency issues has gotten quite a bit worse. Often when i’m up against a Widow, McCree or Ashe. I spot them some distance from me and notice that they’re looking at me, so i quickly jump to distort their aim and move behind the corner. Suddenly I die because of a headshot behind the corner.
- I watch the killcam and see them shooting me before i go behind the wall, shooting me long before i jumped out of the way.
Before I went away, i noticed that the killcam could show the shooter just hitting the air, as it was a mold of my perspective and theirs. This in of itself was a result of their bad Uplink speed delaying the signal to me that i got shot. At it’s core, it still displayed the big flaws with Favour the shooter: That they shot you before you reacted, because of the delay it took for them to send you the package.
TL;DR:
Killcams now only shows what happened on the shooters screen, resulting in more frustration because it clearly show how bad the latency issues has become, as it doesn’t display my efforts to dodge the shots because of the delay.
(PS: Before you go all “Duh, it’s your ping that causes this”. I got about 20ms ping on avarage)
