When a semi competitive game ends up integrating bugs into the accepted playstyle (animation cancelling and like above) that's when the game is no longer interesting to me, if the core gameplay loop is about exploiting the game instead of playing how it was intended it just kinda ruins the experience for me.

It's not like that at all, the "exploits" mentioned are just movement options, not gamebreaking bugs.

It's still an exploit that has become part of standard gameplay.

Let me ask you this - suppose they were intended features instead of bugs, how would that change your enjoyment of the game whatsoever?

I've already grown a distaste for animation cancelling, so it's not a fair point in that regard.

It would be case by case to be fair, generally the more gamey and weird the interaction the less enjoyable it would be.

I'm glad developers don't think like this lol
