It's almost been 3 years...

Fix the dead movement in your game. Please....I'm begging you....dead stops instead of slides, downhill slide moment of a slug even with jumping and punch boosting (which I shouldn't have to rely on a bug to move) terrible climbing registration when it comes to height and ledge grabbing, and so much more trash

  • @chiefthunderball try using a controller. You must be using a keyboard, because when I had to use a keyboard I was having trouble pressing the right buttons too. Get yourself either an xbox controller or a PS4/5 controller and you're g2g.
  • also, if you're using a keyboard, you'll want to map out your own custom key bindings because the ones that come default are horrendous. Then, find yourself in the practice range and slide around and jump and run until you get a hang of the keys. But learning on a controller is much more intuitive than a keyboard.

    This happens with MnK too. And it's very inconsistent. On some servers it's impossible to slide-jump on others it's so easy I can't believe.

  • Ive had the same issues since the start of season 12. I play on PS4 - been playing since launch without these issues (not even once), however since season 12 release....dead slides constantly, and bullet slow seems worse than ever - like trying to walk in waist high swamp mud. And sometimes it will take me 2 to 3 attempts to climb up simple walls, as well as opening doors and picking up loot. No its not my controller - it is brand new. 

    But the dead slides is ridiculously noticeable. I come to dead stops sometimes and the rest the slides are half the speed and I slide half the distant, others it will only half slide and then my legend just stops dead. 

    Its just been awful this season. 

  • @chiefthunderballThere is no dead movement in the game there is only bad players that don't understand the game's dynamics.
    Dead stops happen when you don't have enough speed you need to run a full 5 steps to achieve maximum speed and to have a nice clean slide if you don't then means you did it too early. It wouldnt be realistic to slide as long after you just started the first step of a run... you don't have enough speed to slide far normal you stop dead.

    You can't slide for 6 foot if you walk, you can't slide if you just started running, that is all common sense.

    Your speaking to someone that has been playing this game since beta. These are basics learned quickly. Trust me, I can tell when my movement has changed. If it hasn't for you - great, consider your self lucky. 

    My steps for smooth proper slide have increased from the basic. Just like my aim assist on PS4 controller has also recently changed. 

    Again, this doesn't happen all the time like the aim issue - but more and more often. Never in the last three years have these ever happened to me. Now - consistent. 

    And seeing as how I am not the only person who has mentioned this and that there are multiple threads on them...goes to show that it is happening to some. 

    But don't worry, you don't have to say it - I'll just "get good."
