Deadeye Can Miss (a lot) [HALF PATCHED]

  • Cassidy's ultimate, "Deadeye", is supposed to eliminate any player in view. Guess his aim isn't what it used to be...
    UPDATE: Most of these problems were fixed with the release of Season 4 on April 11, 2023 (game version 2.4.0.0.111387). Here is a summary of the changes:
    • There are no longer three line-of-sight checks; instead, LOS is only checked against the hardpoint the bullet goes to. (fixes 2:35)
    • You can no longer lock-on to the bind pose's hardpoint. (fixes 4:16)
    • The bullet no longer misses certain characters when undergoing a rapid pose change. For example, the bullet will no longer miss a Mercy jumping out of guardian angel (fixes 7:22), but the bullet can miss a Lifeweaver using dash.

    I think the fact he has a L.O.S check that's attached to the feet just for the bullet to ultimately be fired towards the chest at the end of the day, is the most bizarre thing about this ult for me.

    • @g1gabyt3
      @g1gabyt3 ปีที่แล้ว +142

      Majority of the issues if not all of them could have probably been resolved if the ult didn't seemingly trigger another function that makes the character fire a "deadeye bullet" at a chest hard point, but instead applied the damage directly to the enemy if any of the LoS checks have passed, and then triggered an animation on the clientside. Under very rare circumstances there would be some latency between the ult damage initializing and server confirming that the damage has been applied, but those issues would have been relatively rare and mildly annoying for some targets as Deadeye would sometimes kill them behind cover (something that can happen with any character already anyhow), but not misleading for the actual Deadeye user.
      I can understand why it checks 3 different LoS in order to maximize all the possibilities of Deadeye actually tracking targets a user can see, cause otherwise there would be some cases when a user would initialize Deadeye thinking they can hit enemies since they clearly see half the model, only for the targeting to infuriatingly fail, that would be bad experience. But why the fuck does it actually treat Deadeye bullet as any other hitscan which can fail depending on variety of circumstances shown in this video outside of users control is beyond me.

      The old fire mechanic can give you hints becuase im pretty sure it was based off of whoever got the most of those points within a certain timeframe although you can no longer see the points i think its tge same effect so if its not a solo kill it will only give a certain amount depending on the percent of damage you did +elim credit ult cancelation and rez cancel count as 50 along with elim if im right and a solo kill will count as 100 contesting objective slowly gives 10 which is why you can be on fire just from contesting (sorry for very late reply)

    • @magi_stricide

      @@arcadema It feels like they made it needlessly complex.
      Just use one hard point for everything, the head. The ult icon even indicates Cassidy will shoot their head, so just make the ult about shooting heads. This will solve all the issues.
      The only slight nerf here is that the ult won't ramp on someone if you only see their feet or body, but you can fix that by making it a bit more complex. Use three hardpoints like before, yellow means it will miss, red means it will hit, circle touching skull means it will kill.
      This way, it will still charge if you see their feet, even if you can't see their head, but you will still one shot the moment you do.

      It's interesting how sometimes seemingly simple things can be really intricate to programme. "I can see a player" is surprisingly complicated when you think of how to check it, when to update those checks etc.
      Saying that, the bit about the bullet and lock-on indicator not using the same haedpoints as the LOS check just seems bad.

    9:13 This is the fundamental problem with Phara, one that affects literally any character that shoots at her. The hitbox becomes disconnected from the model from movement changes. Happens to all characters, but flying ones that move in every axis benefit from it especially. In Deadeye's case, the bullet is tracking to the hitbox, but the disconnect is so small that with a decent ping, the server returns "Uh no, the hitbox is over here, not over there anymore" by the time the bullet hits, leading to a no-reg.

  • @ossifiedtoad798
    @ossifiedtoad798 ปีที่แล้ว +44

    Oh man, I am so excited that you validated that one of the miss conditions has to do with sudden pose changes and is affected by latency! That was my guess after studying a few examples in the replay viewer.
    I’m surprised to see that you found that Deadeye doesn’t seem to follow favor the shooter as expected, though. In the examples that I studied, the bullet trails and blood spatters were not aligned with the target’s centerline, in some cases not being on the hitbox at all, yet the target still took damage. I thought that that must have reflected where the target was on the shooter’s client at the time that the bullet was fired. (Unfortunately, those replays are no longer valid, but I do have some screenshots saved if that would be useful to share.)
    Based on that interpretation, my guess as to why the shot missed during a rapid pose change was that maybe the target’s _position_ was being rewound to where Cassidy saw them, but that the _pose_ was not being rewound properly/consistently. So, in the Mercy-ending-GA example, Cassidy shoots while Mercy is still in the horizontal pose on his client, but on the server she has finished her GA and is upright again. My guess is that the hit registration is evaluated based on the position and hitbox pose that Cassidy sees, like normal, but the selection of where Deadeye shoots is based on the hero’s pose on the server. I think that could explain the behavior that you saw where the window for missing is latency-dependent, and the bot on the server never misses. But, I don’t know how to reconcile this hypothesis with your 4th miss scenario.
    _Edit:_ In your tests on the latency-related miss window, did you test against other heroes’ pose changes or just Mercy? Were you able to test at latencies in between the 60ish and 250ish you showed? The fact that the 60ms latency resulted in a 60ms window to miss seems like it would support my hypothesis that the hardpoint is being evaluated based on how Mercy is posed on the server’s timestamp. If I was right, I would expect the miss window to scale 1:1 with the latency up to whatever the duration of the pose-change animation is. Maybe that’s the 160ms you found with 250ms ping? That could be tested with finer-grained ping tests (maybe using the minimum latency feature?) or possibly more heroes, since presumably the pose-change animation times would differ.

      I can answer this. Your first person (the detailed hands and weapon) and third person (the full body) models are separate, but move around in the game world together.
      Game engine cameras can decide what they show at any given time. So your camera shows your first person model and hides your third person model, while showing you everyone else's third person model. When you do things like get charged or emote it hides your first person model and shows you your third person model so you can watch yourself die or dance or whatever.

      Don't worry that it's for Unity if you're using another engine. Once you understand those two concepts you will be able to apply them to your own engine by either fiddling about or googling the same concepts, unity just has some good tutorials on how they work in general.

    • @MrHandsomeStudios
      @MrHandsomeStudios ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you have a low end PC you will miss shots even though you on your display can see that your crosshair are on a character. The reason for this is that with lower FPS, it will take longer time for the movement of a character update meaning that there's a bigger window in milliseconds of that the enemy is lagging behind on your screen. If the enemy character moves straight in one direction, imagine them in reality being a little bit further in that direction. The time between 2 frames when you have low fps will also mean that on your display the enemy maybe moves to the left when in reality they move to the right.
      Playing on lower FPS you want to play hitscans like projectile characters were you pre aim in the direction that you would guess they will position in the next frame. As someone who have played on 30 fps, 150 fps and 240 fps avg setups there's a massive difference in delay between 30 and 150 fps. It's so massive that my aim went from 30% to 80% in bronze just by playing on higher fps and I won every single game until I got to gold as Soldier back in 2019.
      So in other words, the higher fps you have, the smaller the window of were the enemy can position the next frame resulting in you having higher accuracy since you will know exactly were they will be.
