Rose's Homing Thistles are Broken and Exploitable!!!

To begin; you should understand exactly how this attribute works; you must first accurately target an enemy before receiving a lock, then you can take the reticle off target for 0.5 seconds before losing the lock.

Because it was designed with a set time (and not a set distance, for instance), you can learn to exploit this by quickly moving the reticle left and right while aiming towards an enemy (resetting the set time with each pass over the enemy). So doing this is overall more effective; you will not lose the lock nearly as often, and less shots miss the enemy as well.

All this benefits players who are generally less accurate, and those using higher sensitivities.

But you must also understand the fix would NOT be to just reduce this set time (that would only serve to make using this exploit more beneficial) but instead would be to remove this set time all together and/or make it a set distance.
