I know what was said in the shout box but I was wanting to know the communities thoughts on the matter. One question. Should in your opinion Strafe Guntoss be considered custom rules? Don't hate.
I have, I'm just trying to find out how the community feels about it. It's all well and good bringing up threads from a few years ago but things can change
Custom LR is considered something that differs massively from the name of the LR, for example, 'Knife toss' doesn't involve what the LR name says, it's not a gun toss. Strafing isn't enough to make it custom LR as strafing is just a type of movement, it's not much different from a normal jump. That's my opinion.
The game is 14 years old, Strafing is the FUNDAMENTALS of movement in every single counter strike game and I can explain why you always lose to guntoss on ct. You could say its placebo and that its just when you're ct you always imagine yourself losing but its really not, the ct player model throws the gun closer from the player than the t player model, you can demonstrate this in game if you both stack in a corner and throw any gun, the t's gun will always go farther. combine this with the fact you're throwing the gun mid air and the gun will fly forward, I'm not the only one to speak up on this but this is why guntoss is chosen 90% of the time as a LR because you will consistently throw farther than the ct's even slide farther and bounce farther than most. Strafing has next to nothing to be done with this, the 60 or so movement speed you can obtain from pre-strafing is just something t's say to give the cts a chance at winning the lr.
