[Discussion] It doesn't feel good to play aggressively since 1.0
I know we've all noticed other players and probably ourselves playing much more passively than previous wipes and I can't put my finger on a single cause but I'm interested to hear thoughts and potential fixes.
As soon as players hear footsteps, they just sit and wait. Sure that's always been a thing, but it seems MUCH more prevalent now and I've even noticed myself doing it much more often than before.
I think it's because playing aggressively just doesn't "feel" good/consistent. Between the shotty net code getting you killed around corners after unpeaking, poor performance overall, weird changes to movement and aim speed after sprinting etc, I just don't feel as confident being the person pushing/swinging.
Curious to see if others have noticed this in their own playstyles and what you see as the primary culprit. Also curious if battlestate has commented on this or potential fixes.
