Although it is true that you cannot have traction at the exact same time as you are strafing, once you are in position to catch it is just the push of a button and you have immense traction. I understand that it would be nice to have that traction 24/7, but for a team that doesn't have the ability to make a swerve, its gotta be the next best thing IMO.
