Why do "Standard Controls" players still need to face target but not "Legacy Control"

I have been using standard for 5 years, and after i started going for the necromancer title it was really causing me problems and caused me to almost die a myriad of times. I was wondering why people streaming weren't having this issue until someone told me. I didnt even know about it. If anyone wants to know how my run went, my computer froze at floor 181 and i have not reattempted because i dont know why it happened. Dont want to go through 8 hours of floors to have it freeze again.

The standard controls are just shitty in comparison but I know many people like myself, prefer standard controls. (One reason is that you can turn the camera while running in a straight line. On Legacy, you would have to hold S instead of W if you wanna run towards the camera for example, but on standard you can keep holding W while turning the camera.

And also, I don't see any reason to make standard controls shitty, if there's supposed to be some kind of "tradeoff". I know so many, especially new players who are confused why the standard controls are as bad as they are.

So much this, were I not a healer main I would swap to legacy but standard lets me run back and away diagonally while still keeping my camera pointed in towards the boss and my party so I can see who is about to mess up a mechanic and heal them. If I try and do that with legacy it makes her backpedal left or right instead and screws me over. I am so used to flicking camera around to keep an eye on my party but it is a pain for gaze mechanics in particular having to 180 like that.

You can do this on Legacy though. :( In fact, with Legacy you can run back and away STRAIGHT towards the camera... instead of just diagonally.
