Tap strafing is still a thing?

I just found a guy spinning mid air, do you ever plan on stopping that crap or do i need to use this too??

    pont 1: Ok, so good news, i dont need to actually try mastering this trash because the Devs do plan on removing it.

    point 2: Love how the egotic kids come giving more excuses to keep using it however dont make a single mention about putting it into the tutorials.

    So ideal case: next time i get a head shot on a target in an open area, he will not start spinning around and instead, he will start making a pattern where i can guess or not if he will dodge left, right or stay. 

    ¿isnt that how the devs thinkered the sniping to work in this game?

    ¿inst that the reason for the triple take to make three shots?

    ¿isnt the target supossed to have a 3 options deck and the sniper 1 chance in three, after he lands an initial headshot?

    As a lifetime sniper player, those previous points where crystal clear to me when i starter playing snipers in Apex, the game was not designed about this totally randomized tap strafing spin to escape 🙂

@rogo2020 why not? people who can tap strafe/wall jump mid-fight are those who play a lot to even think doing those while on half-health, in other words, it's a reward for their hard work lol

I don't see the point why people cry about a mechanic that is not broken, it's not a bug, it's not cheating, it's not like it's easy to do as well.

@bosourd I've seen mnk players say it is pretty easy to do. It's knowing when to best use it that seperates the better players.

    @hayhor tapstrafing is easy to do in a controlled environment, but in a fight or game situation its quite hard to use (esp to get a positive effect, moslty it has no effect or negative effect for you), anyone not super pro at this will say the same. Anyhow with decent aim they go down just as fast as the rest 😉

    Edit: I see pretty much close to everyone in my lobbies using it but I dont see it as a huge problem, its just one more thing to deal with when aiming in higher ranking lobbies. Most people wont be buggered by it anyhow. However the best movement tech is proper strafing, a proper executed strafe is what makes me loose most shots by far, not tap strafing or other exotic movement techs...

      @Zkepz Being able to hit a pad moving one direction and flip to the exact opposite direction is ridiculous no matter how anyone spins it.

        That you can do on console too if I'm not mistaken I can do it without using my mousewheel just timing things correctly, it's easy as pie. I'm talking about the proper tapstrafes people can do everywhere..

        It might be ridiculous but it's what's pulling me to the game. Slide jump is just as ridiculous too when compared to RL. If I wanted realism idd play a different game like ghost recon with all features switched on
