It seems like any time you’re throwing something as an engineer, it’s trajectory is random EVEN if I’m targeting the person in front of me. I’ve noticed this with grenades, the glue gun, the napalm bomb, any of the elixirs that you can toss, and on a side note: sometime my net gun fires at nothing while I’m attacking someone directly in front of me. Can someone explain at least the first issue of aiming to me?

All your throw abilities are aimed… If it has a red circle on the ability on your bar then you ground target it manually. As for the Net, you might be right clicking to look around when you fire it? Holding right click and looking around is a way to manually aim what would normally be lock-on abilities. When you press the glue gun key you should be able to aim a large green circle on the ground, if not then check your settings and see if you have smartcast enabled. this means that it will auto-fire at the current location of your cursor. Hope this helps.

I actually don’t like fast cast. If you double tap the ability, it functions the same as fast cast, and it’s harder to screw up your aim that way :P
