Strafing

@apostolateofDOOM 

I'm not going to go through all the weapons so I picked the "Heaviest" and the "Lightest" weapons.

A P2020 and a spitfire, I still didn't see any difference in the ADSing [using BloodHound]?¿?¿?

Maybe your the one's that should be practising in the Firing Range perhaps?

A Failed attempt at a ADS nerf maybe?

I don't see anything wrong still maybe I need glasses Perhaps ? 😎

I dunno, what I'm doing wrong.

@RevenanT-G7To strafe you need to move left and right while you ADS... xD

lol you got me @apostolateofDOOM 

stop trolling, you were talking about ADS speeds not Strafing.

My last reply.

@RevenanT-G7Strafing ie moving side to side while ADS!!!!

I edited the post to make it clearer for you.

In the context of the OPs post, I hope you realise now your misinterpretation. 

No need to reply! 🤓

@E9ine_ACIt is a quite popular cheat on PC now-days

And no, not just different ads speed. They move funny while looting my death box...

Moving laterally while crouch sliding is not a strafe. Strafing is A/D keys. If no ADS, then you are hipfiring, at which point you have the same speed all other legends have (sans when players speed boost themselves)  or if you are ADS-ing, then your strafe is limited to the weapon. 

I'm not sure how you think you can "out-strafe" someone, as those limitations are hard-coded.

Being Gibby just means you have a bigger hitbox, which does play in getting hit, but does not alter your actual strafing speed. Having a smaller hitbox does the opposite; it does make you harder to hit, but again, you do not move at a faster speed than others. You are not "out strafing them" Your strafe speeds are commensurate with every other legend.

Got to the range. Pick a weapon. ADS + strafe move. Change out to a different legend and do the same strafe movement again. Same speed. No "out-strafing".

Strafing is moving side to side while firing

It doesn't matter if your ADSing or Not

it's still called a strafe.

Hipfiring is when you don't ADS and not moving side to side while you are shooting.

So isn't that what I just said are you trolling

So you went to wikipedia to correct what you said ?

And you just pointed out I am right.

@NyGmen4Lif3 No strafing is moving side to side, PERIOD. Firing does not need to be involved. Wikipedia states: "In video games, strafing is the technique of moving the player's character from side to side, rather than forward and backward. In the context of first-person shooters, it refers to the movement alone"

Hip-firing has nothing to do with movement, and everything to do with ADS. Any shot when NOT ADS-ing, moving or not, is a hip fire. You're firing "from the hip" rather than using the gun's ironsights (built in) or optics (attachments)

Well no there is also circle strafe and jump strafe 

Strafing isn't limited to just side to side

I think you got confused what I ment by counter strafe. someone is strafing you can counter their strafe by jumping up and down and sliding into or around the person. so they stop and actually have to aim by then you took a chunk out of their health  if you land most of your shot's

or

You can do a Circle strafe just make sure you catch them on the out side [far side] of the strife  instead of the inside which what I do some time's if I can think of doing it. 

Like a wraith,octane, mirage etc.

You can't ADS while someone is doing a strafe because you'll be toast unless you have a teammate coming in to help.

I think I know the strafe speed problem.

Basically, I think it's two things. 

1. Animations. The characters have different animations when strafing that might make them look fast. This kind of ties into #2 as well.

2. Size vs distance. All the characters move at the same speed, (excepting abilities like Revenant passive and Octane stim). But, some characters have smaller hitboxes, which means a smaller thing needs to cover the same distance, which makes it look like they are going faster. Make sense?

p.s. you guys should probably knock off the argument about the definition of strafing. it's silly.
