Make Gorge spit hitscan.

<div class="IPBDescription">for the time being.</div>As of right now, even when your ping is below 50, there is still a noticable delay between clicking the mouse and the attack actually being started. This feels really weird.
IMO, make the gorge spit hitscan, and lower the damage. Might also be just me.

Remove the fire delay and leave it a projectile?

I wonder how many people think it feels natural for lerk spikes to be projectiles too.

paradoxum

what is hitscan and why is it different from a projectile? is hitscan just homing in on the target?

Tinker

Hitscan means that if you put your cursor on the target and click all the calculation to hit are run instantly. Projectile means you click, your projectile travels over time to a destination, and when it gets there it checks if it hits something. Marine lmg, pistol, shotgun are hitscan the grenades projectiles. Alien bite, swipe, gore, healspray are hitscan, bile and spit are projectiles

Hitscan weapons hit instantly upon firing, think the marine rifle and pistols. Projectiles are an entity which has travel time before hitting the target ala Gorge spit and Bilebomb.

Of course that would work, problem i that Im sure that its because of the netcode.

The gorge shouldn't have an easy time hitting something that slows marines as much as it does. You have to lead your target (a trait so foreign to modern FPS).
