Hurts your eyes? Why would playing on smaller resolution hurt your eyes? That makes no sense whatsoever.
You don't have to play closer to monitor. Things are effectively not so much smaller you wouldn't be able to see them properly. It's exactly the same as having a slightly smaller monitor.
The benefits aren't negligible. That's why people used OpenPlugin to get a higher FOV.
Also how is this Mirelin's FOV exploit? It's literally called having a custom resolution.
idk why I'm dignifying this with a response but I'm at work so fuck it rofl
The res hurts your eyes mostly because of the fish eye effect it creates. Not so much to do with the models being smaller
People already play pretty close to their monitors. Specifically scouts. Idk why but it makes focusing and tracking a target much easier.
FOV differences are negligible in the way that you don't NEED more FOV to play this game better. The game is pretty straight forward as to where people are standing. Those like 5 or 6 degrees of visibility aren't going to make a difference in 99% of games, so why would you use it if you don't enjoy it. This is a good example of how big the difference is between 4:3 and 16:9, and I'd say probably 15% of invite still uses 4:3 http://i.imgur.com/EzRNXSP.jpg
In the end it really comes down to preference, if you like the way it looks and feels then you should for sure run it. I don't like the way it looks or feels and only did it because I was a low open player that thought I was getting some sort of advantage.
edit - Alright I took 2 seconds to read your profile and realized I made a grave mistake assuming you weren't a turbo autist. Sorry to have wasted both of our times trying to walk you through my ideas on the matter
