Crosshairs. Dynamic or static?

[5tr4nGe]

So, asking for opinions here.
which style of crosshair do you prefer, dynamic or static, and why?

I personally prefer dynamic, i find it actually makes me more accurate (although i'm sure this is about 90% psychological.
but with static i find i tend to fire just before the crosshair would have settled if it was dynamic, so dynamic forces me not to do that.

It's up to you, if you think that dynamic fits better, and is more accurate and stuff, then keep it. Personally I prefer dynamic for GO, static for the other CS. Don't know why though, I owe you that. It just feels better when firing to have your crosshair gap widen accordingly (no bad thought kids, please). But I use the style that gets wider only when firing (I think it's 4 or 5, don't remember), the other dynamic styles feel way too distracting for me, and unnecessary.

Some say that static is for the pros and bla bla, that when you get better you'll use static, but hey, I've reached (and currently am) Supreme using dynamic crosshair only. So, as I've said at the beggining, it's up to you. You can try changing it and seeing how it goes, if you don't feel better then change it back

This pretty much sums up how i feel about it, dynamic just feels more natural.
I admit to using the one that gets wider while moving as well, but thats because like i said, i have a bad habit when using static of firing just a fraction of a second too early. and that obviously throws off the accuracy of the rest of my shots.

i like to use the default one when i havnt played in a while and as soon as i feel the aim coming back i switch to static :D

usually just use a static dot but i've since added in a set of tiny dynamic lines aswell purely so i can tell when the game is bugging out and thinks i'm still moving when i'm clearly standing still

my aim is pretty good.
my timing, not so much. xD

If the dynamic one helps you game, I'd say stick with it.
Maybe down the line test again to see if you still feel you need it, but what works for you should be the most important thing.

I definitely get that.
i was just wondering if anyone else also used dynamic, because watching all the videos, it feels like i'm the only one who does.

I just DL some workshop map and picked one I liked there.
Have been thinking about trying dynamic actually as I suspect I have similar issues with stopping as you do :)
But tbh I still suck in most aspects of this game so might not even help :p

give dynamic a go. i recorded myself in a DM with harmless bots, and with static i was firing like 0.3 of a second earlier than i was with dynamic, which i'll admit isn't much, but it's enough that the dynamic crosshair wasn't fully settled, meaning my accuracy was off.

Sounds like a good idea tbh...
I got this when it launched but haven't really touched it until the last few months and then with a lot of breaks in between sessions.
Coming from the early Betas, around 0.6 or what ever it was, a lot has changed tbh.
So I am still very rusty to but it mildly :)

I cant bear dynamic, distracts me too much
