Apex Legends BACKLASH For REMOVING Tap Strafing
859Apex Legends is putting an end to the controversial tap strafing movement exploit, but not everyone is happy about it.
Tap strafing had become a common occurrence in Apex Legends, the act of basically pulling off a sharp turn in mid air to make yourself much harder to hit by enemies on the ground, and on mouse and keyboard it was actually fairly easy to learn the exploit by just binding your jump button to the middle mouse wheel. But apparently, the exploit being much easier on Mouse and keyboard and almost impossible on controller is exactly why Apex Legends is getting rid of tap strafing.
Saying they are supporters of cross platform play, and that tap strafing gave an unfair advantage to the PC players that the console players or pad players couldn’t interact with, Apex has announced it will be removed in the next patch. However, mainly Apex players were against the move, saying that pad players already had an advantage thanks to aim assist, and that it was an unfair nerf to PC players.
Regardless of how the Apex Legends community feels, it seems the devs have spoken, and tap strafing will be no more in a few days. But with no tap strafing to defend themselves, will PC players lose ground to console and pad players in Apex Legends esports and ranked gameplay? We will have an answer within days of the tap strafing removal going live.
