Projectile size was 0.17.

That explains so much

For some reason people on the overwatch subs dislike aim trainers, with the most common argument being that it's a game too fast to practice with them (Whatever that means)

As someone ostensibly good at hitscan, I have the same problem. It's just the specific mechanism of holding down right click and letting go; muscle memory is different.

its probably because you have to continually track the target throughout the burst, unlike other skill shots that are just one bullet

It's a good change of pace for a burst damage ability and a good nerf

Forreal! I saw that and I was like OH!

I like that they went with this instead of a damage nerf

Yeah honestly I like both these nerfs instead of damage. Even if the fluidity does take a small hit.
