For the love of god, no.

Keyboard turners... *shudder*

Whatever taps your keg, I say, but as much as it's contradictory to my general philosophy, I have to agree on some level. The AOEs already eat enough health bars - I can only imagine watching people's faces explode trying to avoid them with crippled controls. But I could be wrong. Is there some fancy technique you'd use a keyboard for to survey surroundings, strafe, and turn / move at the same time? Attack and run while circle-strafing? Rotate the camera? I can't imagine giving up my mouse. Even if it works for some people there's gotta be a better way (there totally is - it's a mouse or a controller).

I don't get it. Please explain.

You're misinterpreting the kind of controls that keyboard-only people want. You picture it as mouse+keyboard without the mouse, but what they want is something closer to playing on pad but with all the inputs mapped to the keyboard. So there wouldn't be keyboard turning since there would be full instant 8-way run similar to 360 degree analogue movement on a pad.

Except you don't get the analog part of it since Keyboards are digital.

You are aware you don't need to turn your character to move full speed in all directions right? you don't need to be a "Keyboard turner"

Problem is with a keyboard being digital, you still get better movement with a control stick. Just because you can use legacy controls, doesn't mean you can move in all directions. Only 8, you would need to turn if you needed finer grain control.

Not sure I understand where you would need such precise control. The direction you can't move can be compensated with camera movement. I have yet to face a situation where I've felt like I'm at any sort of "Disadvantage" from not using my mouse to flip my camera.

I never said anything about needing it, however for some people it feels sluggish. And there are many reasons you don't want your movement to be sluggish. I also mentioned turning to be able to move in more than 8 directions.
