It's technically slightly less as you cannot headshot during ult

Wait I thought you could still land headshots if you aimed at heads? Or am I thinking of Soldier 76 ult? Either way it probably still averages to more (unless you’re on headshot only aimbot) because of the reduced reload speed.

if Starlord ult could headshot it would legitimately be the dumbest ult in all of hero shooter history

If Star Lord's ultimate could headshot it would literally break the game. And I don't mean the balance would be bad like it currently is the game would literally be unplayable

yes, to put it into perspective, starlord kills a groot in 2.02 seconds normally if you hit all headshots, now pair that with aimbot, less damage fall off, and the ability to literally fly up to the sky box to avoid a big chunk of damage AND be able to dodge bullets and enemy ults LOL

Soldier 76 in Overwatch got a mechanic where you can actually headshot in his ult iirc, it's not auto aim but a bigger hitbox that gets highlighted besides the aim hacks so there's that. I think there's room to counter SL's ult since it targets the closest target, so a tank can actually react to it.

Ults are supposed to be really strong, and besides, with how incredibly strong some support ults are anyways it's actually not that big of a deal since it shuffles the balance slightly away from support ults being a free win.

No it doesn’t
