Not that scary when it's F2P...

The official stance is that its not okay, but not something that's enforced. Respawn already has a hard time detecting blatant rage hackers at the moment.

The root of the issue is game design and allowing movement to remain that isn't possible without using macros. Games are a never ending work in progress, when a problem like this arises, then you gotta figure out a way to clean up the code. Stuff like lurching can make a game feel smoother, but it comes at the cost of predictable movement in a multiplayer fps game. Especially with 20 tick servers and lag compensation.

That pretty much sums up Apex. It feels good to play, but is a deeply flawed designed game claiming to be competitive. If the game didn't pretend to be a competitive esport, then that would be a lot more forgivable, but yet that's the market it goes after.
