I'm one of those people who simply can't get my head around that A and D can be right OR left depending on camera and character position. I just can't re-map that internally in the heat of the battle.
So, since the developers apparently refuse to change this, here's one last ditch effort from me. It's very sloppy, can probably be improved a lot:
The developers are currently saying that if you do 1:1 mapping on a keyboard, you'd limit the movement to 45 degrees. That limitation goes away if you instead put the movement on an analogue joystick.
Further, I find that doing a LTR slash is quite imprecise and using both analogue triggers for this would again simplify things, plus you might be able to add some sort of power vs. speed control as well.
So, have at it. Tell me why this won't work.
