@WreckingVi Tap strafe is a 100% legal mechanic. With in game key binds. It is not as if they are exploiting a game mechanic. Same thing was said when people could do this around corners air strafing or wall jumping. Only the few could do it and those few practice quite hard to be able to do this. If this had been some exploited mechanic changing files and such i could understand. Binding your button to mouse scroll wheel though is perfectly legal and a legit pro mechanic.

@E9ine_AC Tap strafe itself is not problematic, it just changes your direction depending on how many times you can rapidly press W. Except you can't do the same number of forward taps with W, with scroll wheel you can do 15-20 in very short duration. I wouldn't call this an exploit but 'cheesing' for sure.
It's cool to learn tho, especially on jumppad. Feels like I activated some cheat code lol

they removed repeated jumping on scroll wheel for this reason, and people find something else. it's sad people practice this for hours to move 'better' than other players, who could be on a controller. right?
