Respawn Removed Tap Strafing, will that be the end of apex? Needless to say, there’s an uproar, the majority of console players support the change whereas a lot of pro players are heavily against removing it.
It may be a single change but it sets a preset on how the future Changes are looking for Apex Legends.
I’ll talk about MANY Issues that will come up with this change and how it can impact Apex Legends following this. Respawn Removing Tap Strafing may be a big mistake.

Mnk players talk shit about aim assist and its op cool. Tap strafe, double jump is not skillful on mnk anyone can do it lol
Yet no mnk ppl are switching lol. Weird
Good, now I don't have to master it lol.
I don't know how I feel about this. The devs are removing things that take skill to master and adding in noob friendly things, which I don't like at all. Part of what makes Apex great is the potential to learn different techniques and play more fluidly. Removing all the movement techniques kinda takes a good amount of fun away from it.
At the same time, things like Octane pads and Pathfinder grapples are supposed to launch you in one direction, and tap strafes kinda allowed people to get away with bad plays, which I don't like either.
If they're going to remove movement "exploits," then I hope they'd start adding new mechanics that are accessible to all players but take skill. Instead of just turning this from Titanfall 3 into Call of Duty 50.
Sorry Ottr but I am in favor of this. Too many players abusing this. It is really impossible to counter. And it is not really a standard element of an FPS game. Hopefully straffers can move on quickly.
Well if the "Pros" leave, they'll just be replaced with someone else. Shiv seems to do just fine as well. Stop crying. BTW I play MnK and rarely tap strafe.
Next is air strafing. A thing that anybody can do but can’t do in real life. After that is wall bouncing. Same story and reason. Real dumb to lower a ceiling when the people at the top have contributed the most to the popularity of the game.
I never had a problem w tap strafe as a controller player on pc but this is literally crying lmao with one meta gone another meta will rise good players will find another movement strat im more against heros like seer that take no skill and appeal to lower skilled players. im so annoyed w controller against mnk they both have their own benefits and downfalls so stop acting like controller players are just brain dead lmao smh
Ottr pls I hate streamers who complain but pls don’t stop fighting for tap strafing. Pls keep talking about it. This makes me sooooo mad
No no it will not stop being a bunch of girls
Respawn is indirectly nerfing the vast majority of pro players/content creators movement techs. People like faide, taxi, and stormens entire channel revolves around movement. They are going to kill this games viewer experience and dumb down the game overall. Very disappointing.
Have you ever actually played apex on controller?
Now remove aim assist, an eye for an eye
If you need to use an exploit like tap strafing to be good at the game…you were never good at the game to begin with.
5:20 "I don't know what's gonna come next"
let me guess respawn is gonna remove sprinting in the game.
and probably in the next time after removing sprinting in the game they might probably remove walking too.
This completely kills my motivation to play this game. This game was do unique and this is the first huge step to put it in the gutter with the rest of the ganes rn. Seriously the most self-sabotaging developers for so many reasons.
Respawn, if it needs skill it's not cheating.
I’m on console. And I don’t like that they removed tap strafe
Nobody:
Controller player: >:)
Imagine removing the movement part of a movement game
Me who’s never tap strafed in my life
The slippery slope argument is clearly over exaggerated here. I understand the bias though
About time they took this sh*t off the game
Apex is bigger than TS. Pros will cry so Streamers will cry so simps will cry…but Apex…Apex gunna be jus 👍
You mean pubs will feel like pubs again?
Plot twist apex is being sponsored by controller companies to trick people into buying controllers
THIS PISSES ME OFF as an octane main who 90/180tap strafes mid fight frequently. FXCK RESPAWN im gonna look up some MOMENTUM SHIFT tutorials now, wud be kinda kewl if ottr made one, especially in this time of crisis. respawn pwease dont remove momentum shift as well
im a controller player and even i agree that the removal of tapstrafing is a sad day for the mnk keyboard community. i loved watching streamers like taxi, stormen, timmy, acue, and the ways they would use it were honestly really fun to watch.
maybe i dont complain about it bc im a lowlevel player and i dont see many mnk players, let alone experienced ones, but this honestly is a massive change in the mnk meta. now that they have their little advantage gone, whats stopping players from switching to controller?
day 1 of being an apex player: plug controller, oh look I can shoot
PvP just feels redundant at this point, depending what happens I’m probably gonna drop pvp as a whole. Cod just ain’t it anymore
The aim assist on PC is a bad idea cause you can snap on to someone on PC but controller you very slow aiming and it's way less direct without aim assist landing shots would be so hard that playing controller wouldn't be worth it
Aim assist isn't aim not it tracks for about half a second and it's just to make sure you actually stop at your target cause stopping the movement of the stick can sometime not stop at the right time making you hit 3 shots then miss the rest
I've played without aim assist and I couldn't hit shots cause I would hit a few then let go of the stick and it would move past them
With aim assist I hit a few more shots but it's not an 100% accurate thing
It's only for making aiming possible for controller so you can aim a little while doing other things
If you have ever played controller you would know that yes at pred teir lobby's it's very useful but that's it if you remove aim assist then nobody will play controller and you can't get new people cause they can't hit any shots because of input delay on controllers and climbing the early ranks would only be possible if you get lucky or boost
Also no aim assist on controller would make pro players who know how to use strats drop in rank alot cause pc has better input reaction and crisper aim
If controller could go from shooting someone to shooting someone behind them in no time then yes I would understand but when you factor in the time it takes to aim all you have to do is out run the sensitivity so for console players to teach people running they have to have high sensitivity making aiming at long range impossible
Tip: if you slid jump In front af a team are getting shot if the enemy has aim assist I will track you for long enough to make them shoot next to your team are completely screwing up their aim
Honestly just remove apex on pc at this point
Just curious. Why can’t they add tap strafe to console?
How dare they make the game for fun for the majority of players
There also thinking about the console players because we cant do it. It put console players at a disadvantage.
Okay, controller players can’t do it, it’s not fair. That’s my thought
Just add tap strafing to controller problem fixed!
Lacks readability/counterplay they say, I've seen a lot of controller players abuse animation cancellation. Got beamed immediately by wraith that just got out of phase 0.1 second ago, valk that just got in the air shoot immediately and those teleporting bug. Really makes me sad and might aswell switch to controller, no point in m&k now. RIP movement, only thing that made the game fun.
As a controller player I agree on some things, including the slippery slope. But u think if it ruins it, apex'll be receptive and fix it
Are you fucking kidding me
I'm thinking splitgate is going to be very popular in the coming times
I thought Valorant and Hyperscape were supposed to ruin Apex tho?
add a scroll on a Cuntroller
removing tab strafe is good it's not for beginners it's hard to know it, hard to use, and hard to face off it
