Apex LegendsPhoto courtesy of Respawn EntertainmentRespawn Entertainment developer John ‘JayBiebs’ Larson explained in a TwitLonger Respawn's decision to remove tap strafing from Apex Legends. The highly technical movement mechanic allows players to strafe after jumping, and fire their weapon. It's rather frustrating to play against as your opponent moves unnaturally fast while spraying their weapon. It's become a staple at higher levels, and depending on your stance, it's a good or poor addition to the game. When Respawn decided to remove it, Apex Legends fans took to social media to

The upcoming removal of tap-strafing from Apex Legends brought a heated debate, and associate live balance designer John Larson shared his two cents on the matter today.

The mechanic allows for “skill expression” and “outplay opportunities,” but, according to him, it turned into a “forbidden fruit.” Related: What

PC players aren’t going to be happy about this one. Apex Legends’ tap-strafing mechanic will be removed in Patch 10.1, Respawn announced today.
