Game Balancing

[Ethan3]

I hope people take some time to bother to read and reply with their thoughts on these issues listed below.
General Gun Mechanics
As many people have complained about it feels like the hitreg has gotten worse recently, and I understand that isn't something that can be fixed according to Guushi. One of my main problems that can be fixed is the inaccuracy of weapons, it feels like every time I shoot a gun not only is there rng on if the shot even registers due to bad hit reg but if the bullets even go where I'm aiming. A month or two ago Pheonyx and I tested the accuracy of snipers after an update the accuracy of them had decreased to a point where sniping at long ranges is just luck dependent on if you get headshots same with medium/long-range deagle shots. With automatic guns (at least non-donor ones that is) the accuracy is pretty terrible at anything over medium ranges which leads to gunfights ending up just whoever is lucky. Shotgun's main problem is bad hitreg and that it requires minimal aiming yet they are pretty consistent, it has a very low skill requirement to utilize what Id argue is one of the best weapons right now. These things hurt good players by making them completely cucked by rng. Why do snipers or deagles have inaccuracy, instead of making guns just rng based a much more interesting and fairer solution is to actually make the guns have recoil.
T Weapons
Barnacles: Maybe if they were set to 1 max they would be fine, but currently the best way to play as T is to camp a room with barnacles on the entrances and proceed to watch as half the lobby kills themself pushing you. I don't even think a max of 1 would be enough of a nerf but that would be a good start as on maps with towers such as B5's Lighthouse only 1 is required to pull off this extremely easy, effective, and boring T strategy. It also reminds me of my time playing Rainbow 6 Siege where you have to be consistently checking the ceiling for traps which is just so insanely miserable and frustrating. They also are a complete upgrade to melon mines in almost all scenarios. 
C4: Some Traitors instead of interacting with the innocents in gunfights or trickery just go plant 5 C4s around the map and watch as people fail to play a stupid game of minesweeper the entire round instead of TTT, this is only really a problem on the maps Clue and Motel. I think simply limiting C4s to a maximum of 1 would encourage Ts to be more strategic with their placement and make innocent's experience on maps like Motel and Clue enjoyable.
AWP: It was one of the best T weapons before the buff to having 3 shots, fortunately not many people use it but it is extremely good as it is effectively 3 one-shots. I buy this so much due to the fact it is just overpowered reverting the buff is definitely something that should be done.
Trident/Knife: I think having both one-shotting weapons available in a T round is silly. If there is a way to make it so you can only buy one of the two that would be I think a good change. 
Map Voting
The same maps are often voted on whenever they are available those being Dolls and Motel, it would be great to see an increase in the number of map rotations before being able to repeat a map.

So, first off, motel is just plain a bad map, sure, c4 spamming is annoying, but it isn't gonna suddenly become a good map if that is removed, the map has systemic issues that make it awful, from the t rooms which actively encourage round delay to the navigation options really limited to 1 route per floor, 2 on the middle floor because you can cut through the corridors, all of the bottleneck, the testing room somehow being both too open and too closed off at the exact same time, no idea how tf they managed that. It's just a plain bad map, I could probably make an entire essay about how it's exactly what not to do as it pertains to map design, and I don't even know map design, but I'll spare you that.

Second off, as it pertains to snipers and deagles, the sniper accuracy is, as far as I know, vanilla, it has not been altered at all. Deagles on the other hand should be inaccurate when you start going past mid range, because it's a pistol. A recoil system is maybe a fair suggestion, but that's gonna be big big change which'll be just another thing that can cause crashes, especially since we don't have a local ttt dev rn. 

If the Awp is still incredibly good and you buy it everytime because it is 'op' because it's basically three one shots, then obviously the nerf was good, correct? We don't want overpowered t weapons, no matter how good it might feel as a t to use them. If it's still a great t weapon, then that's how it's supposed to be.

Also, trident is a lot less reliable than a knife in general, at least in my experience, though of course I have the mitigating factor of my mouse wheel being broken while the number keys above the vregular weapons don't respond, so obviously it's difficult for me to use period.

[Ethan3]

The AWP was recently buffed, I'm saying it should be reverted back to before the buff. It is overpowered and that's why I'm saying it should get nerfed.
The C4 change I stated above isn't just centered around Motel, it's a general thing that I think would be good, especially in consideration of the maps Motel and Clue.
If the sniper accuracy is vanilla then it should be buffed. I find the deagle inaccurate at even medium ranges, I understand long ranges it being inaccurate but it isn't even accurate at meduim.
I think a decision should be made between buying the knife or buying the trident as they're supposed to be something you use strategically but currently with them both in the game I find most people just use them both frequently as they are pretty easy to use and one-shot. \

I agree with you on the baranacles and C4. On certain maps being able to place 3 c4s in a short period time at certain points can almost wipe out all innocents. Where if each Tratior would have to buy it and coordinate the placement it would be harder and could prevent it from happening. Baranacles as well help with delay of round as certain maps as a Traitor you can just place 2 (not gonna lie I do this shit all the time sometimes I buy up to 6 baranacles in a round lol). Having it being capped at one would help but having it capped at one maybe change it where it maybe requires more shots to destroy as it is only a 1 time purchase. Regarding your rifle rng I find that to sometimes. When I'm on dolls sniping people in that doll house on the bed I find the shot hitting is 50/50. Sometimes they hit and next shot miss even though it's the same area of the body I shot. At long rage you just have to pray.

+SUPPORT for baranacles and c4 cap

I agree with The t weapon statement, The barnacle should only be able to kill one person before it breaks so a T cannot camp in one spot. For the c4 i beleive that you should be able to only buy 1 c4 like with the jihad (even though you wont live a jihad attack. I way anything about the awp because I dont use it. For the knife/ trident i think that we just keep it where you can buy both BUT we make it where the knife does maybe 25-50 damage per hit and you loose it after 1 kill like in VTTT and keep the trident as it is.

too many one shot weapons as is

[Ethan3]

Spring Trap: Might as well buy a HE and kill yourself instead of using this garbage T weapon. It's more obvious than melon and barnacles yet it deals the least damage and is the easiest to avoid. Even if it sent you to lethal heights it still wouldn't be that good to use.
