Reading the numbers

Why does damage change with distance?

The game applies a range modifier for every 500 game units. The slider models that modifier; it is not a guarantee for every encounter.

Is this a bullet spray pattern?

Compare first-shot spread bounds from game parameters. Stance changes inaccuracy; the distance slider changes the zone diameter. Coordinates from recorded OP.GG sequences: camera recoil without mouse compensation. Random bullet spread is excluded.
