Respawn Removes Tap-strafe From Apex Legends and Stirs Controversy

Respawn will remove the tap-strafing technique from Apex Legends in the upcoming update 10.1, which has sparked quite a bit of controversy among gamers.

Respawn announced the removal of tap-strafing from Apex Legends in the upcoming update 10.1.

It's an advanced movement technique that enables PC gamers to make sudden movements with their keyboard and mouse, giving them an advantage over console users. The best way to see exactly what tap-strafing is is in the gameplay below.

The decision has divided the Apex Legends community, which was predictable. Console players are happy with the changes, while PC players consider them unfair. In their view, this is yet another boost for gamepad users who have long had aiming assistance.

The removal of tap-strafing is another step taken by Respawn in response to player appeals. One of the recently introduced characters in the game, Seer, was weakened due to poorly balanced skills.

The release date of update 10.1 is still unknown, but we can be sure that it will take place during the ongoing season 10.
