Why Did The Devs Do This?

Ok, so, they removed moonwalking, but why?

Moonwalking never had some sort of advantage over the killer. Or, it never makes the survivor stronger. It was just a silly you could do to mess around.

But know you can’t anymore. And I still can’t say why. Nobody asked for it to be removed because it was ACTUALLY nothing.

    It was a byproduct of a different change, it was not intentional.

    Huh?

    They didn't remove it. I just moonwalked a match ago.

    I don’t think they wanted it gone, per se, but rather the movement changes they shipped to fiddle with hitreg and all that jazz just prevents moonwalking from working.

    And to be fair, I have seen people pull off tactical moonwalking before. It’s extremely niche and twice as rare, but it can happen.

    Moonwalking wasn't intentionally removed (I actually think you can still moonwalk in this patch), there's just efforts being made to smooth out movements in general - and losing moonwalking has been a side effect of this, whether it will stay like this I can't say because there is further testing going on.

    They didn't remove moonwalking. I played last night and saw teammates moonwalking.

    I wish they'd remove it. Can only imagine how much time my teammates waste trying to moonwalk like their favorite eceleb instead of playing normally.
