Re: Can someone explain to me how strafing works?
@1ronKeysWraith has the best overall movement in the game that combined with her tiny hit box make strafing highly effective. Octane is a close second IMO when he uses the stim. The bigger legends do not strafe as effectively because they are 1. a bigger target and 2. they get stuck on buildings/map terrain much more frequently. I can't tell you how many times I have died as caustic because his big hit box gets caught up on a door or box or something.
Guns, the sights being used and whether or not they are aiming or hip firing can all play a part in it.
In CQC I am all over the place in terms of movement. I also toggle in and out of aim and hip fire. I have noticed it all combined together can be very overwhelming for enemies, especially if I'm landing my shots.
