Of course it was fun, the game was also fun without Seer. Originally posted by KNDY:It's just fun to tap-strafe. I don't care if it had to be removed but was it fun? Yes. The endless cycle of buffing/nerfing legend abilities when it first came out at just a little help and all about gun fight. The possibility of it made Apex even more so unique compared to other shooter out there. Sure gunning someone down 200+ damage in a single clip is fun or pleasing, but is it tap-strafe fun? No. Heck, simply sliding past someone while shooting at them is already something most player I come across with, can't keep up.
It's provides window of opportunity in a seemingly lost situation and fun at that too! Out-maneuvering, doing something your opponent do not expect.
Stuck in a room with only a jumppad towards your enemy? Jumppad-strafe 180 degree away. Similarly it's fun doing bunny hopping or wall bounces when they give you no real advantage. Removing it takes the fun away, so no doubt people complain. It's an exploit that would only be appropriate to leave in if it was accessible to everyone. I dunno what you read but it's being removed.

Originally posted by TTV OrxsN:i agree, tap strafing has way to high of a use at even low ranks (granted nothing crazy) but that little dodge in a 1v1 that you were winning then suddenly lose your tracking and centering because wraith decides to jump right then TS left followed by 3 evo shots to ruin your day, is not fun, regardless of the skill level, also it was found 2 seasons ago, not exactly a ground base mechanic from the early days You do realize its not going away right? Just read the patch notes
