【Apex】タップストレイフへの方針を開発者が再度表明

・タップストレイフの問題はマウスだけが使用可能という事ではない

・タップストレイフの存在は設計上の問題であり、バランス調整の対象外

・過剰なキャラコントロールはAPEX全体のバランスを歪ませてしまう原因となる

・一部のユーザーしか使用が出来ない上に、来ると分かっても対抗のできないテクニックは最大の懸念材料となっている

Make tap-strafing accessible on controller:
Even before reading the rest of this, I encourage curious minds to revisit my MOVEMENT TECH AND MOBILITY IN APEX twitlonger, as our stance here is pretty much the same.
My gripe with tap-strafing isn’t that it’s only accessible by MnK. As I mentioned in the post, it exists as a design problem (not a balancing mechanic) where the lack of readability and how it compounds with movement abilities are the biggest causes for concern. Take something like Path grapple, arguably the highest skill-ceiling ability in the game. There are identifiable cues and constraints where players can learn, “If grap attaches at x point and Path is moving in y direction, he’ll move roughly along this arc.”
In most trivial examples, sure, I can learn a player will tap-strafe around corners to cut off LoS faster. But add things that enhance mobility, and learnability and counterplay quickly become clouded. If a sweaty Path is grappling near me with a shotty, I know the tap-strafe into my face is coming, but even with the quickest of reflexes how can I improve my chances? And aside from the fact that I’m slow and washed up, mobility creep is a real concern. If something feels good (i.e. movement in Apex), doubling down on that too much can warp gameplay in the grand scheme of things.
