    Positionals are made completely irrelevant by moonwalking. We're talking about willfully eliminating a aspect of the game that encourages the use of skill in favour of increasing the overall game speed. It might not be an issue in a 72 man cluster F*** like seize, but things like this make a huge and rather annoying difference in smaller game modes like 24 man, or Wolves Den.

    Also, it leaves the door open to broken gameplay. Speedhacking is easier to hide using moonwalking, and could you imagine if everyone did it? It seems nice for you now since there's only a few people who are taking advantage of it, but imagine if the entire map was full of people who glided around like specters instead of actually using their legs. The game would look and feel broken.
    Oh, I know full well what it does to melee, as that's my primary choice of class. I also know that positionals are largely a hassle to go for, for a magnitude of reasons already (latency, unpredictable non-AI movement, etc etc etc), and in some cases (important: some) it's just not possible, or outside of Trick Attack even worth going for.

    Also, for the record, I'm not saying to use it, or even to not remove it, just saying that it was possible on PS4, and in my experience entertaining in matches, both being done by and against me. What actually got me going was the comparison to the bunny-hopping of old WD fame... this isn't even in the same league of issue as that was.

    Not sure about this speed hack stuff, is this a thing? And yeah, a whole 72 player match of people doing this would look dumb... if a bit amusing, for a minute or so.
