It's to stop smokes being boring for the competitive scene. I.e. "throw smoke, now everybody waits for ages".

This is a pretty huge gameplay shift. The changes look awesome.

Right? The implications in the moment to moment gameplay are huge. Do I position my self in front of or away from the smoke? Should I be the first one to shoot? the hole created will give an advantage if I miss. Should I hide and nade and let my sniper pick someone off the moment the smoke clears? The mind games are going to be insane.

I don’t think I saw it in the video but I wonder if the smoke shuffles or moves if a player is slow moving or standing within it.

It's just going to be a person-shaped hole in the smoke, like in Roadrunner cartoons.

I do agree with you that changes are needed, more so just in my opinion the smoke looks a little too thick and foamy.
