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 🙂

@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

    @Zkepz No, you can't. Controller movement doesn't work the same way as KBM -pushing the left stick is not the same as pressing W. One can get a much smaller turn by using a pretty finicky technique called a "flick strafe," and that's the closest c̶o̶n̶t̶r̶o̶l̶l̶e̶r̶ console can come. (tap strafe is possible on PC with controller via steam).
