Some good points here but a lot of shit got lost in translation!

Notching in BnG does (and should) imply that if you know how to do it, you can't miss. Period.

Anything else is not notching but is simple guessing by trial & error approach. If you need 2 or 3 turns to get the same shot right only by adjusting aim (no matter how small) then that's not notching. That's just adjusting aim and trying again lol.

If you think about it using your thumb (or cracks, texture, penis, magic marker) kinda falls in this category. You aimed & you missed by a nose hair, you were happy with angle but decided shot needed moar pwoer or 1 px aim adjust. You marked your angle by whatever means and tried again. Personally I don't see anything wrong with that. Remember, you didn't get to this point by notching, but by pwnage!

edit: hola LEROY!

This makes a lot of sense, can't get much clearer than this.

There is no way the re-aim rule should be scrapped, if you want to aim in the same place again then you can but the rule is there to encourage a bit of variation anyway.

I think the main point for me is that there is no way to stop this so there is no point in complaining about it or saying its cheating, either embrace it or get good enough so that you don't need it (or dont play league games). I think its a perfectly acceptable technique if you've been clever enough to figure it out, people are just going to have to adapt their game around it.

In regards to this whole its the same as notching thing, it really isnt. Its making an adjustment to a shot you already made without the use of counting notches. I still think the notching games might be fun against other notchers if I ever took the time to learn but not in league games.

I think its a good technique to use sometimes, but a lot of the time if its a fun game or not particularly important I wont bother as takes a bit of effort and fun out the game. You have to be fairly close with your first shot to make it worth it anyway, and even then you still have to get power right, have made the correct adjustment etc.

You have to have the re-aim rule else you're going to get a load of lame players that try the same thing over and over with no variation, not everyone figures out you that can mark your screen in someway, as I said as long as its not every shot full power I dont really mind it. As you said you would be an idiot to not take notice where you were aiming.

You can't ban or disallow the thumb/sticker/bluetack technique of marking previous shots because its completely undetectable, whereas something like notching is. It is the same for using a part of the map in banks or floorbanks for reference, its just part of the game so anyone who disagrees with it are just going to have to live with it.

I dont think this should invalidate the re-aim rule as it takes some time out of your turn, as long as you're not throwing 4s every turn with slight adjustments its all fine if you ask me. If you can't live with players that play like that then dont play them.

I can't even move my aim by one pixel on purpose. Only if I got lucky.

you can do this with a program to remap keys if you set it up to press space for the minimum amount of time possible

makes minor adjustments so much easier

done, some close games had lots of fun, nice one prank 

2-1 i win

(2nd game is in two parts cos of network drop)

maybe a few modifications:

if its your turn you must drink 50ml spirits
if its your opponents turn you must drink 50ml spirits
if your opponent hits, drink 100ml
i he misses, drink 50ml
if you hit, drink 100ml
if you miss, drink 50ml

this might be better adapted for b2b alcoholics

i agree you shouldnt hav won what a comeback last game tho
