Here is a thread of Fortnite movement "issues" I've noticed (updating as I find more).
Some are fixable, while others are just inherent to motion matching. I really hope Epic brings back the OG animations (state machines) in Chapter 8.

1. when changing directions, the character fully leans like is lost balance and the legs start scrambling.
To clarify and answer a lot of repeating questions I’ve seen about the movement
1- when ppl say OG movement/Og animations etc. they are talking about the animations (locomotion system) not about movement mechanics like sprinting, mantling, moving while healing etc. They can bring back the animations and keep all the mechanics.
2-No, it can’t be a toggle to select which animations you want to see, the locomotion systems are completely different and everyone needs to see the same animations replicated to prevent desync and poor hit registration. It’s not purely a visual/cosmetic thing,
3-Yes we can have a hybrid system where we have OG animations(state machines) for base animations like running, sprinting, jump, strafing,crouching. And have motion matching for wall climbing,mantling etc. we had this in chapter 5 where jumping and tactical sprint still used state machines(OG anims)
4-Yes motion matching(ch5 anims) reduces performance - it is more cpu intensive as the cpu has to constantly query a database of poses to calculate the next pose of your character.

Dude just add it as a setting, I’ve tried to humble myself and not be a OG movement crybaby, but it gets to a point.
I’m so done pretending like the current animations have pushed the game to be better.
Compare any clip from ch1-4, to any clip from ch5-7 and you’ll get it.
