@ZkepzThey can fix problem in many ways. Not always hardest way is best way.

I hope they understand that longer it will take to remove tap-strafe = more negative backlash will be. To me it's weird that it takes so long.

Also they can check for scroll wheel input when strafing and ignore strafe when scroll wheel input is detected.

It can be as simple as:

void AirMovement()
if(scrollWheelInput != 0) return;
//streafe movement code here

@SlivPTS A bigger question- Why is the scroll wheel used for anything that can be exploited? Wasn't there a time people were using it to exploit single fire?

Also regarding tap strafe. Your fix is just a bandaid. They do not want it in the game so they are working to remove it.

I do find it interested they made a statement about punch boosting in algs, which is rarely useful but say nothing about tap strafe in it.

Actually punch boosting has some exploitable aspects however it is situational, some places in SP its way OP, at the same time I am scared of getting it removed as its been my counter against mele trains for a couple of years already. Still there are some aspects of it I feel is a bit strange, when removing tap strafe because its not intentional the punch boosting is even more strange come to that argument.
