I don't know anybody that has had any issues with the sprint/ slow down animation activating on accident when repositioning in the 6.5 years NA has been around. It's a non-issue that's being greatly exaggerated IMO.
If it's such a huge issue for you guys on EU, then do it while holding down the sprint key, since you guys are used to repositioning with sprint rather than walking anyway.
I have heard you havn't had any issues with not having multiprocessing but now due to cries of XE/EU players they have added this "useless" feature that only annoys you. And EU players can't even walk properly with sprint now they are all ducking around pressing direction/sprint keys like mad... Please show them how to run in PRE version ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Don't take it as insult I just want to point out that most of comments of pre players are like "stop this cancerous XE from spreading" while those who played XE are trying to suggest improvement since they know the pros and cons of XE/PRE now.
