Wiggling while running? What purpose?
When I watch streamers or other survivor players in my games, a lot of them don't just run straight but they "wiggle" left and right all the time. Now I might be oblivious to some game mechanics but this should make them slower because they are effectively zigzaging, right? What's the sense behind this? I always assumed it had to do with the scratch marks, but those tiny wiggles can't make the marks spread that much farther, or do they?
Enlighten me.

When killer is close to you and you wont make it to pallet why not? it may help to dodge

I only do it when I am running to save someone to notify them that yes I am coming to save you. But only in like times when they're about to go to stage 2 because no one else is coming for them.

I mean personally i just do it due to my adhd need to fiddle. i don't know about streamers but i assume its for a similar reason - needing to fiddle/do something.
it doesn't have any real positive negative effect in game2 -
Tiny wiggles? Literally nothing, it's just for flair. It slows you down very slightly, but if you know you're either safe or screwed anyway, there's no difference. If you think you might get hit but maybe not, you probably wouldn't do it because that tiny difference in speed might make the difference.
Big wiggles may be trying to dodge a hit when there's nothing nearby, but I'm assuming you're talking about the little ones.

It's because of WASD. If they are holding W to run straight then press D, they will now instantly move at a 45° angle because WASD is a digital, or "on/off", input. This makes them "wiggle" as you put it because the animation jerks from one direction to another in a single frame. It's nothing but a jank animation you're seeing as they are just running at an angle instead of straight ahead.

It's pointless. Its to look cool in the way people spam Y in CoD. Also some people have adhd.

I like to think they are apprentice necromancers.

This is so old but I didn't see a good answer to it yet:
Actually it comes from trying to prevent getting snagged on walls and other terrain you are passing by that might slow you down.
They will do the little wiggle to smoothly pass through areas. Might come from other games but you can get slightly snagged on corners and such on this game to where it is noticeable, least to people who play a lot.
I do it all the time for that reason.

I agree im so sure they fiddle for the same reasons ...theres lot of gamers and streamers with adhd... Im also ...I won't do it all the way across a full map but just when I want or feel like but for sure a few times in a game

Tiny wiggles I do when a killer is hell bent on chasing me and gens start popping left and right. Everytime a gen pops I wiggles...kinda like a "HA HA" lol I know this post is kinda old but still😝😝

Google's been pulling up massively old threads into my discover feed for months. When you click the link it auto logs you into the forums if you're logged in in Chrome, your default browser that shares login info with the system, or logged in through the discover feed at some point.
Hey Devs, just letting y'all know to check Google's documentation on how their spider crawls the site, since it keeps handing these links out.
