When performing “short” dashes to a wall/floor, immediately turning afterwards may get reverted due to this “fix” from 1.52:

Original thread
This is a repost from PTR because despite the fact that only 5 threads were created regarding bugs with 1.52, none of them were apparently looked at and this bug has made it to live.
I was first put into an NA server when I went into practice range, so this was easy to notice with 230 ping, however I usually play with around 80~90 ping and it still happens there, the window during which your movement will get reverted seems to increase based on your ping.
While you’re at it, fix the rubberbanding that’s been part of dash since 1.47:

For reference, this is how it acted on 1.51, before the change: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd3Nt1ClpT0
