Turret Placement Delay


(amazinglarry) #1

I’m currently not a fan of whatever delay there seems to be when selecting and placing an engineer turret. As soon as that ghosted turret turns the color that indicates it’s ready to be placed, the first left click should place it.

I try to place it as fast as possible, as I’m typically in an area where I want to drop it. But when I do that, more than occasionally my first left click doesn’t take, and I end up dragging the damn thing around, decreasing my movement speed and really throwing off my entire flow (and usually dying as a result) since I’m left exposed.

To add insult to injury, there have been times I’ve spam clicked the left mouse button only to have the turret place but then a secondary ghost placement turret show up, again, causing me to move like I’m thigh high in ahhh… molasses, we’ll say.

I don’t know whether the delay is related to latency or if there’s a hidden ‘charge’ or what… but it needs to go. It should be “turret select -> okay? -> go”. Boom. Done. End of story.

I’ve noticed this, but not sure if it happens all the time, or only when placing a turret for the 2nd or subsequent time, i.e. place a turret, retrieve it, go try and place it somewhere else. I’ve had a few problems doing that.
