Weird survivor movement.

[Hurricane]

In a couple of games, I've noticed that some survivors seem to go forward but with they body turning left and right repeatedly. This by iself puzzles me as it looks counter-productive.
What I really makes me think is that often, when I try to hit there is no collision.

Anyone got an idea as why?

They're trying to moonwalk or something.
As survivor when you press A and D really fast while running your character will look like its almost falling.
Maybe you arent hitting close enough or youre just lagging

Survivors do some really weird ♥♥♥♥. Some funny and some annoying.

A and D are to turn or to strafe? (My controls are redefined)

I'm not lagging (or rarely) and my question is only with these moves.

I mean of course sometimes I'm not close enough and try because it's right at the limit of a pallet.
Here I'm speaking of cases where I know they are going down ... and they are not.

I have a few hypothesis of my own but I'd rather have other's opinion to compare notes.

A and D spam is common in gaming for the very reason you brought up. It can look confusing. And that can give someone an advantage when attempting to dodge a hit as you have a harder time guessing where they will go.

But in DbD. It can simply be the Survivor messing about and wanting to keep your attention. The more you focus on him, the less you focus on anyone else or nearby gens.

I understand it could be confusing. I have no problem tracking any sort of 360 though (not afer my first few hundred of hours) so don't believe it's about that ... although ...
It may be some kind of dodge that I don't see (that's on the top of my list) but it's hard to verify as it's pretty rare.

The attention seekers usually use bad manners. I don't feel compelled to follow these. (Just my own feeling)

A or D are for Both.
Also you answered your Question yourself.

Both? You don't mean at once do you?

I didn't said I had no clue. In my exprerience, asking the views of pairs can be very enlightening as we all have blind spots.

There isn't alot to survivor mechanically..and due to how limited the movement pane's of the killer player are with restricted Line of site of field of view....typically survivor's do it due to lack of any real meaningful input in a chase outside..press pallet/vault or press flashlight.


I mean..it's akin to a mental patient rocking back and forth in their cell..not alot of input either way.
