Technically he’s cheating. These are the terms and conditions that you agree to follow when you play the game. Exploits are considered cheating in this game. Taxi should’ve been grateful that they lowered the ban from a perma ban to a suspension.
I think some of the people here missed the mark why this is an issue. I really don’t care about what happens to Taxi or any other streamer. The issue is that Respawn should have no special treatment when implementing their rules on players whether you’re just a guy in your living room or a huge streamer with thousands of people watching you. It’s easy to say that you couldn’t care less but when a popular streamer does this and everyone does and copies the exploit, I’m pretty sure you’ll be pissed too. I’m lucky that I didn’t experience the infinite Rampage charge exploit since I’m on console but I can imagine that can be very annoying.
I am not at all a fan of content creator ottr. However, he has written a very good take on this topic, both taxi's on stream behavior as well as the overarching question of "what is an exploit, what is bannable, etc?" If you've got a strong opinion to express here, consider reading tyhis through before you comment.
@hayhor What is banned specifically is "repeated" punch boosting. It seems clear what they don't want is teams without a mobility character making rotations at unnatural velocity. But there is little terrain on WE where punch boosting can be of much use in rotations compared to SP.
The mechanic fits naturally within the game's core movement mechanics, has plenty of combat utility (just like wall bouncing) for gaining some quick velocity and momentum shifts to escape or chase, and that has not been removed with this ban.
