I thought this update would have fixed it but no... It was working fine until the first patch of the season and still no word of a fix on it
There was a bug specific to using a controller (on any platform) causing traversal emotes to be interrupted. It will be fixed in 10.40 (sorry, too late for 10.30).
Please note that you also must not sprint; if you have the option for
"Sprint by Default" on, you will need to use your input to disable sprinting or it will still cancel.
