Option to restrict dash to corresponding screen sides?

Akalabeth

One aspect of the game I don’t understand is why the controls allow me to dash back with a right-screen movement and to dash forward using the left-side of the screen. This aspect of the controls causes me to miss so many opportunities to attack because I accidentally dash back instead of forward using my right thumb. But if you think about each side of the screen as two separate sticks on a controller that shouldn’t be possible.

Obviously thousand of players are already used to this method, but for newer players for whom the controls are not ingrained, can we get a toggle in the options? A toggle that prevents backward dashes from the right-side, and forward dashes from the left, and instead interprets those movements as the movement appropriate to the respective side.

Kabam ignore this everyone who has played the game for longer than a week is completely fine with this. Edit: if you really need this then make a petition for it as an option

I’ve played longer for a week and I’m making the request so . . It’s just a quality of life improvement to better the experience of players who choose to adopt it.

Didn’t know you could do movement from left side of screen, always have just done ALL movement from right and only use left for Blocking. ** A different, and perhaps more logical, request could be to make a “Left Handed” Option Setting for game, that would let lefties control movement and Heavies from their more dexterous Left side, and blocking from Right side, AS WELL AS thus SWAP the position of the 2 fighters on screen too. But I guess left handed people have had to learn to do lots of stuff with their right hand anyways growing up.

Orrrrrrrr....just say yay! Mobility on both sides! If it’s really a detriment for you, in the kindest and most polite and respectful way, u gotta git gud. It doesn’t take too long to figure it out. Just get parry and dexterity asap

Customizable controls, like my suggestion for a toggle, or inverted for left hand, or an accessibility option for one-handed where maybe you swipe down and hold to block is never a bad thing. It can help to both draw in and retain players.

Don’t really see why anyone would be against allowing players to customize the controls to give them the best experience.

I mean, sure, nothing is wrong with customizable controls, but I promise you, from a guy who has been playing for over 3 years, the current controls work perfectly. It will take a little practice, but you will get the hang of it eventually

I never said that the controls didn’t work, if I had, this thread would be in bug reports, not requests.

Just asking for the ability to customize.
