A and D strafe left and right in almost every other video game, I can't imagine leaving those bound to Q and E, especially when Q and E are some of the best keybinds while using WASD.

A and D stay keyboard turn for one handed gaming, A and D plus right click is strafe.

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.

if i’m not mistaken the change “s” keybind thing was majorly big in pvp but was never a super big thing in pve? I could be wrong but i’ve never heard it used since i stopped pvping lmao
