Tab targeting is remarkably bad

[Darkstride]

bc thats not really how tab targeting works.

by default, tab targets the enemy closest to the left side of your screen regardless of distance from you. I personally deal with this by micromanaging my camera constantly. If i want to tab target something, I adjust my camera so that the enemy i want to target is the only thing on the left side of my screen.

There is the other option for tab targeting but I havent use it that much and cant explain how it works.

There's an option for "cone" targeting in the settings that changes the behavior. I believe the basic setting does as you described, left to right, where the cone setting starts with your character and moves outward.
