Sticky Bomb Failed To Attach

Match ID: 2140717
Replay Time: 25:40 (Bebop)

Occasionally, attaching a sticky bomb to a target will appear to succeed, only for it to be canceled and cooldown refreshed. The replay shows the sticky bomb as never attaching in the first place.

Bump, still happening on current patch (9/1/24).

Looks like the server is rolling back the bomb application in edge cases where the enemy either moves out of range, out of angle, or behind cover a few frames after the bomb is placed. Locally, the bomb is placed, but on the server's end, the bomb application is invalid (since the target is slightly in the future compared to the local client), so it cancels it and refunds the cooldown.

Given the short range and instant-cast nature of the bomb, the application conditions should probably be tweaked to be less restrictive in these edge case situations.
