Others require a lot more resources to make sure we get it right. Some things are deeply engrained in muscle memory where it’s not worth touching. Unfortunately, the asks of increasing aim assist at range or improving the looting flow on controller are not as easy as changing a couple numbers. What may seem like a simple QoL change can give a controller player a bit of FOMO.

It’s also the reason we’re hesitant when people ask for a separate Valk jetpack keybind so they can wall-bounce, for example. That’s impossible as long as both input types exist. I think about some of the input layer differences between MnK and controller (looting speed/strafing, range performance, movement capabilities) and think that it’s a bummer we can’t have perfect gameplay parity. In fact, I’m meeting with CGE, weapons, and analytics teams this week to take a temperature reading on the situation. Players should not feel forced to use a specific input type, and if I see players converting out of what they think is necessity, I would 100% be concerned. And, yes, it's easy for us to accidentally make it ‘too good,’ and where that line is can be up for debate.”Īs Apex and its players evolve, it’s only prudent for us to continue to evaluate whether or not aim assist is “too good.” When I see top-level controller players saying they would be alright with nerfing aim assist, I definitely take note. To quote the designer behind Apex’s aim assist, Rayme Vinson, “Conceptually aim assist sits at the input layer, above balance design.

Pred level controllers are not beating out pred level MnK with Prowlers in close range at any sort of crazy rate.ĭata aside, we can assume pro players with thousands of hours of playtime have legitimate concerns. For the record though, across MMR levels, rank, you name it, the difference in weapon performance is not nearly as great as some would believe. I can’t speak to one’s superiority over the other they have their pros and cons. Let’s table that for a sec and dive right in to one of the spiciest topics in Apex: The MnK vs. However, my designer brain started to churn, and the more I saw, the more I felt this mechanic seemed like forbidden fruit. I felt the dopamine rush, I thought about the outplay opportunities, and I love tuning into streams to see flashy plays. A monkey would be a better MnK player than me, but I took some time to experiment with scroll-wheel strafing in particular.

The player in me loves the idea of it for skill expression. Tap-strafing is something I’ve thought about nearly every day since seeing it for the first time. Things like wall-bounce redirect back onto that same wall should feel unchanged, but movement afforded by scroll-wheel strafing will be removed. That’s what I’m thinking of when I use the term “tap-strafe” throughout this post. The goal is to remove some of the sharpness in momentum conservation around 90°+ angles. Thanks to the work of a couple of our engineers, this is now easily tunable on the fly, and we have the ability to iterate on or even revert it completely without a client update. Movement should feel unchanged for controllers and for MnK players who hadn’t heard of the term “tap-strafe” until yesterday. To be more explicit, this change targets multiple rapid directional commands after jumping. “Remove tap-strafing” comes across pretty aggressively for movement enthusiasts. Internally, we generally use it to describe what many associate with scroll-wheel strafing. However since it is server side, we are still waiting for it to hit every server.Tap-strafing is a term associated with different sorts of movement, depending on who you ask. In what appears to be a server side fix, tap strafing is no longer working for people.

To see Respawn’s full thoughts and goals to adjusting Tap-Strafing check out the 10.1 Apex Legends Patch Notes HERE where they covered it extensively at the end of the notes! 3epLH7pjJn- Josh Medina August 15, 2022 However with this response we also saw Josh Medina post a gif saying “That’s definitely undercooked” meaning either the nerf created unintentional consequences once again (they tried to previously nerf and reverted it) or that whatever they were trying to actually fix was not supposed to cause this change in Tap-Strafing. Thanks for being patient while we sort this one out.- Respawn August 15, 2022 We've seen your reports about issues with tap strafing in after today and are looking into it. Respawn has acknowledged the issue and said they are looking into it.
