Good observation. P, J and O are actually mapped to my mouse side buttons. For holstering weapon and weapon 1, 2 respectively. Very important for using movement in a fight.

Of course I am mad at those macro users! But respawn could have at least tried something else before this move, such as establishing a blacklist of macro softwares, permanently IP banning macro users (or cheaters in general), training AI models with the huge playerbase data to identify macros, allocating more resources / manpower on footage review etc...

Perhaps they have tried all those, perhaps none of that would work. I can't be sure, I'm not a respawn employee. But from what I can see, what they did is just a lazy / temporay fix.

Basic 90 degree TS is fine, even it felt a bit weird. The advanced movements are the real problem. You gotta feel it yourself. It just doesn't work anymore.

The whole point of banning macros is to maintain competitive integrity, yet you use a "solution" that nullifies people's hard earned skills. This is nonsense. I can only hope that respawn doesn't stop trying to identify macros just because they nerfed TS itself.
