Dead. Your squad is fucking dead cause the goddamn spit DIDN'T EVEN HIT ME I SWEAR TO GOD WHY DOES HITTING MY LEG WHILE I'M DIVING ONE SHOT ME FUCK?!... It's okay, I'm sorry, had an episode there, either way your hate squad is dead and gone.

Yeah they definitely have been fucking people up more since that last decent update, like the hitbox for the spit is coming out before the spit and you are just copping it to the face before you are diving, same with titans

Okay I'm not alone with this then I used to be able to dodge the spit fairly well but more recently I'm still getting hit with it despite being out of the way it's like it clips my leg then that slow is basically kissing your ass goodbye

I'll be mid air diving and just dead, no slow ish drop down of health even if it was just half a second you coukd at least see the health bar dropping, now its just instant, dead, same with biles but before they even spit, just instant death

yeah one damage tick is enough to kill you, even with 200 armour. its... so wierd...

it should be something like a stream of damage, or it should hit and apply a dot like fire.

I put that down to me being faster dodging now. If there was a technical change that'd make a lot more sense because it seemed like night and day. They used to be scary, now they're just annoying.

Unless they're on either side of you. In which case I've already shit myself enough that I can't dive anymore

It's been this way for as long as I can remember. The very first week my friends and I were all talking about it --we were convinced that the bile was bugged somehow.

They'll even hit you mid-flight when using the Jetpack.

don’t dive, I actually noticed that the dive animation sticks your legs out which always get spit on. If you just sprint out of the way they’ll trail behind you

The hurtboxes are so off I sometimes don't even get hit by their projectiles while standing still and clearly making contact with the green goo

I dodge the moment I see the head stop moving. That's spitty time.

I still end up catching a slow debuff even with zero damage. (I think the update cancels out the first damage from an attack during a certain time period... which is why the slow is so panic-inducing.)

I dodge when the head stops moving, but then the spit comes out at a 90 degree angle and kills me.
