8 seconds into this video, the little back and forth wiggle he does as he's dropping off the ledge.

WHY do people do this? I see it A LOT - people doing these back and forth wiggles when changing elevations (I see it dropping down and jumping up ledges)

I'm just not sure what purpose it serves. Does it help you get down silently? Does it cause you to have faster recoil recover/reset when you land? Is it just nothing and a little habit some players have formed, and if so why?

I see SO MANY people doing this (in-game etc) that i've made a mental note. I even find myself trying to do it sometimes but not understanding why I'm wiggling. Then I saw this clip, and decided to use it to ask.

I first asked a few friends, and none had an answer. I then tried the valorant discord, but it seems kind of dead, no one is answering me on 2 different channels.

Anyone willing to provide any insight?
