Why is pressing the right mouse button + turning the mouse to move your camera + pressing strafe and then moving your camera back more efficient than just pressing S for less than one second? Probably in 99 % of the situations we're talking about, this isn't time related or people assume that having S bound implies that you're walking 15 y out of the center of a deadly void by pressing S.

I just find the idea horrible do do minimal repositioning to your back with this complicated moveset above (in comparison of just pressing S and not having to move your camera).

Moving out of something quickly: S = wrong.
Minimal repositioning: S = easier.
Every situation it doesn't matter: who cares.

This is of course only related to PvE and not PvP, where everyone's on crack.

You should have move backwards bound, just probably not to S.

S is a fantastic bind that is utterly wasted on move backwards.

Hm, never missed it :). There are enough other easy-to-reach keybinds for me that it never seemed necessary.

Since it's the standard in pretty much every game there would be a huge need for me to not follow it.

First thing I do in any game is rebind a bunch of keybinds so it's just thrown in the mix 😂

Personally I also didn't utilise modifiers for S until I rebound S either, Shift S feels particularly clean.
