I’m not really sure what the deal is with all the complaints about increased RNG devastating skilled players, because surely the logical conclusion of continually reducing the RNG associated with accuracy is pure hitscan, wherein the shell will always fly to exactly where your cursor is pointed. This could only help red and oragne players who just place their crosshair over the target and pray, especially those that know about aiming for weakspots (and before you laugh, I’ve seen many a baddie at least try to go for weakspots) but aren’t very good at it.

The average win rate is something like 48%. That means the vast majority of the player base is orange or red. So does WG cater to these “minnows” or the unicum “sharks”? The minnows of course because without them, the “whales” (wallet warriors who can drop thousands of dollars on the game) will have nothing to eat.

It’s not personal, it’s business.

If you could turn off arty, who would do it? Noobs or unicums? Probably unicums so if a noob turned it off, he would find himself getting squished by unicums *every* game. So you would have a mode with highly skilled players on both sides with no arty; just like Team Battle is now.
