Here's the thing --- the crouch jumping patch aimed to solve the problem of people crouch spamming, as I've been playing on the server post-patch, it has not achieved that in my opinion. I do get boned every time I try to crouch-jump with my scroll wheel and have died various times due to this 'fix', I understand that this is totally a skill issue but at the same time if it hasn't solved the problem I don't understand why it is still there.
If someone is crouch spamming, they need to be punished within the rules, other players should not be caught in the crossfire of a kinda crappy fix. The fix should punish those who break the rules, not those who just play.
pls fix

I have to agree here. It is SO fucking hard to crouch jump consistently with the new patch. Something needs to be done. I agree that this needs to be reverted and players exploiting crouch spamming need to be punished within the rules. Because after all isn't it an exploit?

ye but its hard to define an exact line where crouch jumping/spamming is fine vs where its not, i think the patch did great things to remove possibilities like benny
however, i liked my crouch bhop as well and would think it'd be nice to add back. i just fear what could come if reinstated, as its something difficult to make clear cut (unless we put a vid of benny in the guidelines LOL)

I think it's pretty apparent what's okay and what's not. If you've played against ANYONE that crouch spams you are aware that THAT is what we're trying to prevent. As it currently is, this update punishes players for not using and wearing the jump pack as well.
Also, defining it in the rules should be there anyways, regardless of this update or not.

Neutral on this. I found crouch jumping so annoying and hard to deal with trying to get headshots that I ended up just spraying and praying. On the other hand not being able to crouch jump to reach areas sucks.

in my opinion, normal players who aren't abusing the source engine's hitboxes by crouch spamming shouldn't have to completely alter their style of play due to a few individuals abusing the system
it's not a complete alteration of their playstyle tho, it's just learning not to press crouch before jumping
