Tap Strafing
I personally feel like Tap-strafing being a high level movement mechanic for the game is a good thing. It means that there is always a better way to go about moving and dodging incoming fire. It mean...

Any movement mechanic that requires unnatural actions to perform shouldn't be in a game as far as I am concerned. People are binding the forward movement to their mouse scroll wheel and spamming the wheel whilst moving around . . that's not natural, that's dumb.
This is all about people always being ingenious enough to find a way to get an edge, and these kind of loopholes often get closed in games. Putting the time into learning the latest exploit to gain an advantage for a few months before it gets taken away is fair enough but its going now so they will have to depend on their other skills to win games wont they? If there was a mechanic where you have to spam the space bar 7 times whilst patting your head and rubbing your stomach to get an extra 5 metres jump distance would you do it? The mechanism wasn't really intended and its little more than a macro function to be able to do it anyway in my eyes.
@Piabetic In that train of though, wall jumping would be an exploit. It requires unnatural movement mechanics, hitting the space bar at a certain time to get the best height. Or Super-Gliding, which also requires some fairly narrow frame gaps to pull off, would be considered a exploit. Both are technically an exploit of the physics engine, but neither one of those are getting patched, and even the wall jumps have been kind of officialized when the Apex Legends twitter showed you how to do it.
My point is, something being weird to do- or niche- shouldn't disqualify it from being usable.
And there *is* a way to gain extra distance when jump-padding, its called sliding into it.
