QOL - Gameplay tab toggle for "Sprint Cancels Healing items"
Hello!
This issue was always quite misunderstood on forums and reddit pages, since with such great controller player base,
a lot of players choose to play with "Always Sprint" enabled, resulting in them not stumbling upon this problem as often.
The bad thing about Sprint key cancelling your healing items is-
default pc binds for Crouch and Sprint are very close to each other (CTRL and SHIFT), making crouching mid-fight while healing riskier than it should be, since a single accidental SHIFT press results in a canceled heal item, even when not pressing any directional keys for movement (WSAD).
If you manually press Sprint every time to start running after using a healing item, you're either slower than "Always Sprint" users after healing
or you try to press it at the exact moment the healing gets done, resulting in you cancelling your heal items once in a while.
Don't get me wrong- I acknowledge, that playing Always Sprint should be faster to start running from standing still, since they don't need to press anything extra, but pressing the Sprint key little too early on "Always sprint off" shouldn't have such harsh punishment. Heals should have priority over Sprint.
There's already a button dedicated to cancelling healing items, which is LMB.
It shows you every time you heal up "Press LMB to cancel", it doesn't say "Press SHIFT to cancel"
If I want to cancel my heals and start running, I press LMB and then SHIFT. I never cancel heals intentionally with SHIFT key, only on accident.
The mouse/keyboard settings for Sprint in game only reads "Sprint / Toggle Zoom", no healing item cancel mentioned.
This option has been asked by many players through years of the game's existence.
Please, add a toggle in game settings for "Sprint Cancels Healing items" (visualisation on third photo).
The Toggle Zoom rebind (single action bind) would be awesome too (at least on PC), but the issue with Sprint key cancelling heals is much worse and I can't even count how many games I lost because of that.
Thank you very much for taking your time to read this.
I'd like to hear your opinions.
