The mods have decided to change how we will treat hipfiring from this point forward. Since now, Moderators have been treating hipfires on a different basis depending on it being red heart game or a gold heart game, giving trolling for red hearts and gt for gold hearts. This is counter-intuitive because not all hipfiring is exactly GT, given that it requires intent and is only sub-optimal at times. This has been discussed and changed in mind of the coming round(s), in which it will come down to moderator discretion on whether the hipfire is trolling/gt. This does not mean that you should go and hipfire your friends, as GT will still be given accordingly for those who shoot players out of grudge or into near autoloss situations.
God look at this post. Shows the mods dont even know what they're talking about

You're the worst.

Because if someone hipfires and does it knowingly against their win condition then they are game throwing and if they're just doing it with a f**k it attitude it's trolling, silly! Gamethrowing requires intent you can't just say X is always gamethrowing!
Then make it the same for both? What do you need mod discretion for?

It doesn't make sense for the same situation to be explicitly trolling in one game and explicitly gamethrowing in another, based simply on whether a game is a gold heart or not. Calm your t*ts people.
Grudge shooting is a totally different case. That is clearly GT and if the mod is unable to differentiate grudge shooting and hipfiring then they should be demodded
Just set it to trolling then. Why do you want more threads created on hipfiring by letting it be up to the moderator (who's probably favoring their friend and being harsher on nonfriends)
Then change the rule to that, don't leave it out to "mod discretion"

Then it's something you argue with the mod/report in question, which is discretion is placed. Generally most of us agree on it being trolling if it didn't cause autoloss/wasn't grudge, so this only benefits people.
I mean, isn't this a severe form of Trolling anyways? It might as well be GT, because if it's proven a hipfire then the shooter doesn't care about winning the game lol
Well you and Goodbar probably shouldn't insert your opinion. Mod discretion as the solution to any rule is a terrible idea. Just look at the state of HC
