At this point? Get rid of SBMM and just make it CBMM, redo the lobby balancing and just see what happens. What good is it to win a game if you get like 2 kills? I'd rather lose and have my shots count.

At this point in the games' lifecycle, perhaps the Marathon dedicated servers that will soon be defunct can aid in the D2 PvP arena. Just thinking out loud.....

I love it when I line up an excellent sniper shot, pull the trigger and the game says Nah Not Today

Yep. For me it’s especially shot guns. I literally feel like I have a 50/50 chance of it registering every time I take a shot.

I have been saying this for years. People in here are stressingly stupid and will say you don't know what you are talking about. When hit registration has been a problem since d1. Let's not forget that SBMM doesn't improve skill. It will improve you losing every match though.

What weapon are you using? I definitely notice it on last word and Thorn (the latter I frequently poison people but the bullet does no damage). I can't think of any other reason besides poor game design why on TLW for example that red cross hairs and aiming at or above a guy's head in pvp (head still within the reticle) with Dance Machines, 3 targeting and unflinching mods seemingly still misses so many shots in a game with bullet magnetism or I get blanks despite the weapon becoming "more accurate" as it hits enemies. Hell, I recently saw a clip of a guy on reddit showing a clip in slow motion, asking about TLWs hit registration after not using it for years. Copying from another user: * First shot hit. * Second shot hit but did no damage. * Third shot looked like it was delayed until after he fired his fourth which did no damage. * Fifth shot hit and did no damage. * Sixth shot killed him. * Then his seventh was just not realizing he was dead. 6 shots to kill with a 3 shot kill weapon in an 8 round mag and the guy didn't miss 1 shot to the head it looked like. Either hit registration needs a desperate fix, or some weapons need significant buffs. Ttk, ease of use, or special gimmicks don't mean much if you're still consistently forced to waste 67-100% more ammo than is supposed to be necessary to win a fight. And if every fight is less about skill and more of a gamble, then there's no such thing as anything too strong or too weak. Only who can manipulate the numbers more, which by definition would border on or count as cheating.

Everyone goes through this. One game you hit everything next nada. We all need that game that brings us back to reality, teaching us we aren’t as good as we think. There’s always better players.

And do you get this as well? : I'll play a game and count my kills, and maybe end up with kills in the high teens or low twenties, staying 1st or 2nd through 90% of the game. Then on the final scoreboard at the end it'll have me 4th or 5th on our team with a kill total of between 6 and 9. Had this happen a few times :(

Makes you wonder if the top “streamers” are actually good at the game or just hiding behind a god tier connection.
