Ashn 40 Posted November 13, 2018 Something else to address i can say i have done this to test and it is actually overpowered. Using the mouse scroll wheel to shoot with a obeya or joker combine or any other semi rifles you can actually shoot twice as fast just by scrolling your mouse wheel, me personally thing LO need to fix this and lock the option to change key for fire rate. I have beaten many people just my spamming scroll wheel up and scroll wheel down to shoot semi rifles. It's broken.. try it out and see for yourself. Note: I do not use this anymore, i just tested it and used it for one game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t3FPazPxZA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Optimus_Crime 81 Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) I tried it and honestly it's not very effective I can fire just as quick by clicking if not actually quicker, it makes my fingers get tired very fast and the fact you have to rebind it to LMB again if you bring out an auto is a turn off. What if my LMB button suddenly becomes dysfunctional and I have no spare mouse at the moment to replace my old one? :l I'd be all for this but in my experience it's not as viable as you proclaim.

BlatMan 711 Posted November 13, 2018 This can easily be bypassed with most gaming mice. They all come with some sort of software macro to change the button functions. Some mice even save the bindings on their onboard memory. Besides, those players you claim using a macro will still be better players, and you'll find some other excuse for them.

vsb 6171 Posted November 13, 2018 semi automatic weapons (like every single other weapon) have a minimum ttk semi automatic weapons are balanced around that minimum ttk scroll wheeling does not and cannot bypass that minimum ttk scroll wheeling does not unbalance the game 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrandonBranderson 672 Posted November 13, 2018 I've tried this myself before and I can say that if you even have half decent timing with the LMB, then using the mouse wheel is more of a hindrance than an advantage. This has been brought up many, many times over the years and usually the end result is that it doesn't need changed because it isn't a real advantage. If your fire rate is twice as fast when scrolling then I don't think you have the timing down properly for those guns when clicking. You can easily get max fire rate with clicking.

NotZombieBiscuit 3146 Posted November 14, 2018 Scroll wheel shooting gives no advantage. In a lot of ways it is actually a disadvantage. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Virgil 55 Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) nobody half decent with any marksman gun uses the scroll wheel. what you and 90% of everyone who isn't a top end gold seems to fail to understand is that marksman weapons are about consistency, not clicking as fast as possible. on top of this, they also have a minimum TTK, scroll wheeling does not make it exceed that minimum TTK.

Havana 216 Posted December 10, 2018 According to all if the forum trolls you can shoot the FBW just as fast. I don't buy it, but they shoot it waay faster than what it is supposed to be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortune Runner 796 Posted December 10, 2018 This thread has come up before. Many have tested it and it does not work. People who want to say its a cheater when in reality they just did not play as good are the ones started saying this again on that thread. No idea where that thread is at the moment since its buried again . but its somewhere on the new forums. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xegethra 22 Posted December 23, 2018 I don't mind what people use, it helps to change keys like say you have missing fingers or nerve damage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
