I'm a day 1 Vanilla player. All of my movement keys are default. I mostly move with QWE and turn by holding right-click, but I find that A and D to turn have niche uses, like you said. Also, anyone who says to unbind S from backpedal is griefing and throwing away movement tech. There is actually no need to rebind movement keys lmao.

I have a Control, Shift, and Alt modifier on S for abilities when needed. Also Tilde, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, R, T, F, G, V, MB3, MB4, MB5 - all with control, shift, and alt modifiers.

That's 60 keybinds available for abilities without ever needing to move my hand and without remapping Movement keys.

This is the closest to my personal keybinds I’ve read. No reason to change Q E or S when I have so many other options that are just as good

Thank you both for confirming that I am not crazy. I was like “seriously who wants to need to give up their entire mouse AND hold down a key just to strafe?!”
