So out of curiosity, I wanted to check the exact flash durations for each agent, and how "looking away" affects it. I didn't really see any useful information on the wiki and went into practice range instead.
I wanted to find answers to the following questions:
- Under the same conditions (e.g. both looking directly at the flash at the centre of the screen), do team flashes last the same time as enemy flashes?
- Does distance from the centre of the screen from where the flash detonates affect flash time?
- Does "how long you look" at a flash before it detonates affect flash time?
- What other factors affect flash time?
- Is self-flashing duration less than enemy/team flashing?
I noticed that the answer to (3) is yes (for Yoru) at least. If I throw the flash at a wall, watch it while it bounces at a wall, look away and look back directly, just before it detonates, the flash time is like less than a second, just as if I didn't look at it at all.
