I tried to defuse in custom game and the range and was unable to drop my guns without canceling the defuse. There doesn't seem to be any mention of a change to that mechanic in recent patch notes but maybe I missed it.

This is just not fun, I got literally destroyed by higher skill level players.. I'm gold 3 without a great experience on the game and I keep being matched with high platiniums and diamonds, my team hate me each game. How many time will this...
