Dodging while moving

Been playing around with dodge a lot on this playthrough and as it is currently, at least on PC, you cannot dodge effectively if you are already moving. Standing still, dodging is great, but in 1v2 or more that isn’t feasible. It’s not too bad if you just strafe in 1 direction but again that isn’t really feasible. I think the problem is; if you happen to press a direction button for movement just before the enemy attacks, no matter how perfectly you press a new direction to dodge, it just won’t register and you’ll take at least a hit. Even with the “Light armour” perk this problem seemed to persist.

Anyone else notice something similar or is this yet another example of me being terrible at video games?
