Worse hitreg after Tough Break?
Okay, I guess we can all agree that TF2's hitreg problems are probably exaggerated and a lot of the times the complaints stem from a poor internet connection, a bad server, packet loss caused by wireless internet etc. Generally the hitreg is okay - not amazing at all, but acceptable.

However, a guy on SPUF recently made a thread about the melee hitreg in particular being absolutely TERRIBLE after the Tough Break update, it seems like he is not the only one experiencing this and I feel like I might be experiencing it too (could just be skial servers being shit, idk - haven't compared skial and other servers). It just feels like it happens way too often now that I get a hitsound and do 0 dmg, get a bullshit failstab with the crit noise and a raised knife or some guy hits me from 100 m away. Sometimes it's so bad that if I'm screwing around with demopan or something I will just end up switching class again after 10 minutes, because it's simply not fun when nothing registers. It's the same with hitscan (meatshots doing 9-10 dmg, seeing blood on their head hitbox but it's only a bodyshot/no dmg at all etc.), and since melee is a type of hitscan they should both be affected equally, but hitscan weapons seem to be affected way less than melee to me.

What are reddit's thoughts? Have you experienced unusually bad melee hitreg after Tough Break? Is it just placebo?
