Since the AnimGraph 2 update, there is a level of responsiveness lost from Pre AnimGraph 2 the Post AnimGraph 2 update which affects the overall feeling of CS2's responsiveness. I use the Karambit here to showcase what I'm describing. Please see the videos below: (Time Stamps are in the respective videos' comments to skip my yapping)

I showcase the following animations both Pre & Post Animgraph 2.
- Right Click + Instant Inspect
- Left click + Instant Inspect
- Inspect + Reload Button
- Pullout + Instant Inspect
Would love to hear everyone's thoughts and please try it for yourself! Thanks for your time 🙂
TLDR: With the new Animgraph 2 – there's a delay of the animations produced in game after a button press resulting in the mismatch of what the player is sees in the game and what the player expects to see
