In the most recent update of EA's title Apex Legends, a popular movement mechanic has been nerfed to "bring balance" to movement creep within Apex Legends. This movement mechanic, in the beginning, was met with anger from some of the Apex community for being unreadable. While it enhances the movement, it does make predictive aim difficult. That being said, it brings more to the overall movement to the game than the drawbacks. As most professional Apex players use tap strafing in their daily gameplay along with pro tournaments, it seems clear that it is an enhancement to the game, not a drawback. This movement mechanic allows players to wall bounce more effectively, retain inertia around corners, and evade enemies more effectively. Within a true gunfight, your ability or inability to tapstrafe will make little difference in the outcome of the fight. 

The request is simple, return tapstrafe to its former glory and allow movement to be enhanced. There is an amount of movement creep to be aware of (punchboosting has also been removed) but tapstrafing does not cause any egregious movement abilities. To make EA and Respawn aware I urge all signers to stop buying from the shop.
