are you sure bhops are a bug pretty sure they've been in source games since counter strike you'd think they would have done something to fix it if they didn't want it in like speed climbing ladders
Yup. It's not game breaking or anything but it's not intended, no real need to fix it - like speed climbing. (note, they still haven't fixed glitch spawning in L4D1 and imo that's a pretty game breaking bug, valve has strange priorities)

Also xan you can hardly compare bhops to glitch spawning or haymakers. both of these are literally spamming of a button, bhop takes timingz and mad skillz and stuff.
Both require exact timing. Haymakers required pressing M1 and M2 at the exact same time which took about as much prac as it takes to bhop

(as survivors at least) and glitch spawning required the same thing - pressing e and m1 at the same time. Albeit, they're different types of timing, with more extrinsic difficulty in bhops because you don't have control of when you land (curse you, gravity), but it's still all timing.




My point is just that there's lots of things that take skill, just that you need to prac something doesn't make it ok, the examples may not be exactly the same, but they serve their purpose ^_^
