Respawn is nerfing the entire movement mechanic, not just tap strafe

I have a small question, in the last tweet about you guys removing tap strafe, you guys did say "After much debate and discussion"

Who were you guys talking to? Andrew Wilson? EA share/stockholder? Or your own 9 years old children playing this game 2 hours a week?

Just joking, I already know the answer, it is the casual Warzone player coming from the "C" platform right? People who are so used to playing "boot on the ground" that the moment they see someone can fly like a jet fighter in the sky, they immediately lose their nut

When you announce the removal of tap strafe, I already predict you would do this to nerf all the other things that the glorious PC can do while the "C" platform can't.

What is next?

Moving while looting death box is inaccessible, lacks readability/counterplay, and is exacerbated by movement mechanic?

Wall bouncing is inaccessible, lacks readability/counterplay, and is exacerbated by movement mechanics?

Super zipline glind is inaccessible, lacks readability/counterplay, and is exacerbated by movement mechanics?

I said it once, a lot of people already said it, You are doing EXACTLY what Fortnite has done to themself by destroying the entire skill ceiling, a big shotgun boomstick directly to the knee. Don't turn this game into Warzone 2.0

  • @hayhor Ill say it again, if they just put ARMOR @ the TOP of every Deathbox, it would solve everyones issue.

    It would make shield swaps fast for PC & Console players alike.

    @SILVERisSORRY And I question why killed people have full shields. Why is shield swapping even a thing? I believe without it we might see a change in how people take fights.
  • @hayhor Actually yeah, I never even thought about that, I would love to see them remove that.

    If you kill a Legend, of course their shields would be empty, you just destroyed them.

    I like this idea, have you posted something like this in the Feedback section or QoL sticky thread? If you haven’t, you should. 😉

    @SILVERisSORRY I made thread asking why they are full before. I'm not saying it needs to be that way but I'd like to see an ltm that way. People would be crying about 3rd parties even worse. Youd have to play a bit more carefully or you'll die a lot.
  • As primarily a solo q player and someone obsessed with this game because of its movement mechanics and gunplay I could not be more irate at this decision. As a matter of fact based on this and the fact that SBMM that last couple of days seems to have been ramped up it might finally be the time for my journey to end. I have put thousands of hours into this game since day 1, played on all 3 major platforms and over the last few months even taught myself how to play M&K because of the advanced movement tech possible. Now all that time and effort relearning how to play was all for nothing. What makes me even more upsetting is they talk about the accessibility of controller players while simultaneously mentioning aim assists. Well I don't get why you are taking away advanced techniques in the game since drop because you are worried controller players not being able to do them but literally have a built in advantage for controller. I mean if you take away the advantage of M&K why not take away the advantage for controllers. 

    Another thing is the dev's infatuation with ruining a good players ability to take on a squad by themselves. Now with the constant scans, insane sbmm lobbies, and soon lack of movement escapability makes it so much harder than it used to be. I am just begging for Naughty Dog to drop its next MP factions game to give me something new to look forward to.

    @SHIZNICKMASTA For what its worth, I switched my target compensation to match PC.

    I play controller on console(XBOX One X), and I wanted to see what it would be like using PC target compensation. I found that it didn’t drastically change my ability to get kills, so I just left my settings that way.
