See someone breaking the rules_ Don't reply, just hit Report. I am a player, not staff.

Been discussed since Alpha.
The consensus is always no.
Want to know why_
The reverse dash mechanic is one that reduces how much thought you have to put into movement and making sure you're well positioned. If you accidentally run into a ambush, you can easily back dash to remove yourself immediately and place distance between you. It also trivializes close quarters combat play, as it allows you to continuously back away from a CQC class without having to turn your back on them, all while being able to periodically fire at them. When you learn to think about your positioning more, and don't overextend, you'll find you never need a back dash.
There's also the fact that it trivializes the skill of those who use 180 retreat tactics.

Everything he says. Backwards dash would make the game worse when i run into an OH fuzzy bunny situation i shouldnt be able to retreat and fire my weapons aslo not being able to back dash adds the suspense of not seeing who your running from which i love
