Haze Dash/Animation Glitch

When dashing on Haze if you repeatedly press the dash button (spam it) you get what seems to be a visual glitch where Haze is repeatedly doing the dash animation, but doesn't seem to move any faster than regular walking speed. As far as I know this is only reproducible on Haze, and you can still shoot and use abilities while performing the glitch but it doesn't provide really any strategic advantage other than looking silly.

This is reproducible in game, and in the lobby, all you need is at least 2 dashes available and to just start spamming the dash button at any point and the glitch will happen until you stop spamming the button. I do not have a match ID where I did this bug, as it is easily reproducible and I do not know how to find match IDs.

I haven't been playing Deadlock for a long time so I don't know if this is a known bug in the community that just hasn't been patched cause it's just silly, so if that is the case just know that I am not complaining about this bug at all, it doesn't impede my playstyle and it is hard to do it on accident, so if it is just an inside joke don't think of this as reason to remove it.
 
You can also use this glitch to leave the camera behind, but only when moving forward. I believe this glitch happens because the camera momentum lags slightly behind when you initiate a dash (probably to stop you from getting visual whiplash lol), but because of this behavior you can essentially leave the camera across the map while you go elsewhere.

This also works in-game, and spamming dash doesn't use any stamina. It also appears to affect your hitbox, and doing it left to right causes you to move quite erratically, making you very hard to hit.

 
arguably it could be a major advantage as either A: it is constantly moving her head's hurtbox so its much harder to shoot or B: her model does not properly show where Haze's head is, making it still harder to land headshots
