The steam controller/config movement exploits need patching
[REMOVED] is a link to a video which shows a form of strafing that is becoming more and more common in games especially with legends like Octane and Horizon who both benefit from movement advantages such as speed boost for Octane and in air movement speed boost for Horizon.
Why is this strafing a problem?
Me, as a casual find this strafing ever so difficult to track and to put it straight, it's cheating. It involves the use of steam config to allow you to constantly do the act of tap strafing but in all directions at a quick pace. This movement trick also allows players to engage in combat at the same time so you end up fighting somebody flying across your screen shooting at you who's ever so hard to track in the first place.
Why would this be patched?
As I said previously, it's straight up cheating. No matter how well you can track it or not, it is cheating. It needs fixing and this will only become more of a problem the more people that start doing it and "learning" it. It's also completely unfair to legitimate players and those who are on consoles who can not do this trick.
I really hope this gets looked into as it's becoming ever so fustrating to fight against in games and it does ruin the fun for me especially in games modes like the current wildcard event.
