Shroud indicates the problem regarding PUBG’s moving mechanics
The famous star on Twitch, shroud, who is popular for his madly incredible aiming skill, not just at PUBG but also CS:GO, used his chat to voice his opinion regarding Erangel’s recent adaptations.
Shroud mentioned the air strafing system, as he believed that it would be really annoying if players could turn in the middle of the air. This may make the gamers highly-disoriented while playing game like PUBG.
This kind of movement, a.k.a “strafe jumping”, is most popular within CS:GO, which is also a product from Source Engine powered by Valve.
Apex Legends (powered by Source engine as well), the direct opponent of PUBG in battle royale category, received a lot of compliments in terms of its moving mechanics, which let its players to move effortlessly around the game’s map.

The awkward jumping and moving mechanics of PUBG has always been a problem since PUBG was first launched, and in spite of a large number of complaints, seasonal players, especially pro players, all want a giant change like that not to happen.
The Canadian player regarded PUBG’s current moving mechanics as the biggest issue that the developers have to deal with, calling it “clunky”, particularly when it comes to jumping over ledges or boxes.
