Let me explain to you, and to him perhaps if he is reading this thread, why force move is the second most important bind in the game. If you played beta you must have noticed the gigantic hit box on monsters as well as their relatively fast movement already in the kindergarten bash of Act 1 normal.

Now suppose you are at 5% life and need to get the fuck out of wherever you are, or there is a health globe you need to pick up (spawned by your ranged partner) or you just want to move rapidly and precisely like any skilled player would.

When there are monsters adjacent to you you cannot move with "hold move" command because you will click on a monster hitbox and attack. If the screen is also filled with fast moving monsters, as it most certainly will be already in lower difficulties let alone inferno, clicking any point on the ground you consider "empty", if you can even find such a point since enemies are clearly seen swarming all over the screen in almost every gameplay video, incurs the risk of accidentally clicking the hitbox of a monster running, leaping or teleporting towards you. Even if you are melee, you will take at most a couple of steps (that's an extremely generous assumption), towards the monster and the place you in fact want to go before it reaches you, which will result in you attacking the monster and dying.

In the video, Krip sounds like a guy who considers himself "leet" and "plays to win". How he could have missed such an obvious requisite for decent character control (while custom binding stuff like the skill panel) is beyond me.

I hope this makes things just a little bit clearer. Unless you want to be a sloppy player with bad mechanics, you will bind this key and learn to use it, and fast.

Yeah, I agree. Even a melee character can benefit because there are times where you have to leap out and GTFO, and leap->force move is much safer than the 1% likelihood that you leap->accidentally click on some random worm and die. For a gladiator-level hunter in a world-class raiding guild, I don't see any reason for why he wouldn't bind it, even if it's not used much.
