Myth reveals why he ditched \u2018WASD\u2019 for new Fortnite movement keybinds Twitter: Myth \/ Epic Games \/ ClipartAli \u2018Myth\u2019 Kabbani believes he\u2019s changed the game when it comes to Fortnite and FPS movement, dubbing himself \u201can innovator\u201d after swapping his default movement keybinds away from the stereotypical WASD setup. The Team SoloMid streamer is always looking to get ahead of the Fortnite curve, testing new strategies and builds, and even defecting to playing on a controller instead of his usual keyboard and mouse to try and get an edge. Now, it seems like the Twitch star believes he\u2019s broken the mold again, doing away with the default WASD keybinds that every FPS and battle royale across the world uses, and instead tweaking it slightly to a set of \u201cmore natural\u201d settings. Myth has been putting plenty of hours into Fortnite and Apex Legends recently, including during a huge 15-hour stream on February 3, and it seems to be taking its toll \u2013 he admitted he had to change keybinds to help his fingers. \u201cI changed my movement keys from WASD to WASE. This is a game-changer. I am an innovator,\u201d he revealed to his fans on Twitter on February 4. The 20-year-old also confirmed he had swapped his pyramid keybind, which had previously been on E, and switched the two so he could use the right strafe button\u2014once D, now E\u2014more often, and only call on the pyramid key when needed I changed my movement keys from WASD to WASE. This is a game changer. I am an innovator. \u2014 Myth (@Myth_) February 5, 2020 According to the streamer, who was immediately hit with a wave of shock from his dedicated Fortnite fans, many of whom suggested it was \u2018blasphemous\u2019 to abandon WASD, he made the controversial switch to help with cramping. \u201cYour index finger relaxes way better when it\u2019s on the E key instead of the D key, at least for me,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd that leads to way less index finger cramping for me, which was a pretty big issue for a while now.\u201d While many fans laughed, and suggested he would drop it nearly immediately, Myth revealed he had already been employing his strange and whacky keybind for a week, and hadn\u2019t regretted anything \u201cjust yet.\u201d Your index finger relaxes way better when it’s on the E key instead of the D key, well atleast for me. And that leads to way less index finger cramping for me which was a pretty big issue for a while now. \ud83d\ude05 \u2014 Myth (@Myth_) February 5, 2020 While many were initially shocked that Myth was veering away from what is seen as the holy set of keybinds for movement in first-person shooters, and battle royales, it does make a bit of sense, considering where your fingers lie on the keyboard. It is worth remembering if you\u2019re going to try out Myth\u2019s newest innovation, however, that not every keyboard is built the same. Whereas the TSM star may have a setup that allows for the E key to provide maximum comfort, yours may not. The lesson to be learned from all of this is keybinds aren\u2019t set in stone. Myth has certainly proved this with his testing period on WASE, and it\u2019s better for players to set their keys to what they like best, rather than just sticking to usual. As mentioned before, this isn\u2019t the first time Myth has gone against the grain either, picking up the controller at the turn of the decade to \u201cprove it could work.\u201d While he stuck with it for a while, he returned to M&KB on January 26. For now, it looks like Myth has settled into his new life playing with WASE, but if he wants to change again, there\u2019s more than 100 keys on an average keyboard \u2013 apparently, the world truly is your oyster if you leave WASD behind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
