Since the new buffs to Viper make her smokes deal 50 decay damage instantly, my friend and I were messing around with some smoke + marshal strategies (as the 50 decay would cause a single marshal body shot, 101 damage, to kill). However, from what my friend and I found, a marshal shot to the body on a decayed opponent only takes them down to 1 hp. I don't think this is unique to the marshal, either, as a ghost headshot from close range (105 damage) also took the decayed opponent to 1 hp instead of killing them.

So from what I can see, it seems that an opponent that has taken 50 decay damage from Viper's smokes cannot be killed by a single shot dealing at least 100 damage and less than 150 damage. Mathematically, this doesn't check out, so I was a bit confused.

Has anyone else had the chance to test this, with similar results? And if so, do you guys think it is a bug, or an intentional design?
