No more flinch headshots?

Fans, streamers, and pros welcomed this change. Popular personalities Censor, CouRage, and Ali A also responded to this.

Eurogamer described headshot flinch as ?A flinch headshot is what happens when someone shoots you as you’re aiming lower than your enemy’s head, and the damage flinch pushes your crosshair up to hit a headshot.?
