lol. Famous last worlds. This is where it all started. Drip, Drip, Drip. Nerf, nerf, nerf. Patch after patch after patch until the Tactical Escalation patch delivered the death blow to melee. Please fix rolling/evade melee attacks. It's perfectly fine that we nerf the speed and range of rolling and evade/dash melee attacks so rolling + Bolter can beat melee at their own game in a melee encounter. GG guys. Tried to tell you guys back in September of last year you were breaking the game. How has it taken 8 months to figure this out? It was crystal clear back then you were breaking melee by nerfing evade attacks while buffing rolling and shooting. You broke the evade attack for GA while removing the delay from rolling + shooting = nerf melee and buff Tactical. There used to be more of a delay AFTER we roll, BEFORE we could shoot. That delay was removed and reason #124 why melee is at it core designed to fail vs melee at almost every opportunity. Rolling + Bolter FTW. Rolling/Dash + Melee FTL.

I really need to stop reading the forums, melee tears are flooding the world. To be fair I'd probably be upset about it all too, if lag didn't prevent me from at least doing okay at melee.
The rolling attack is still there. It is just very hard to use. 1. Roll 2. Take your hands off WASD 3. Tap RMB very quickly, not to long or you will normal QA. It first became like this when they fixed Banshee roll attack. Something that they did to fix Banshee must have bugged it out. (Because Njord, you may not know, but Banshees couldn't roll attack, otherwise they would play a 3 second animation and be rotted on the ground). However it is still there, follow these steps and you can do it. Have to adapt until they address this. It has been like this for at least 2 months-ish. This is more to help Chan, because this is when the bug appeared, which could hint at what exactly is broken.
I think he just really wants the roll backstab back is all. Back when melee could just dodge a slow d bash and initiate a melee attack again for bonus damage while locked onto target while the target was still mid d bash. You know...that whole super balanced and not totally exploit like deal.
Oh god thats the point at which the warp literally invades the game and there are pockets of time instabilities everywhere.
The back attack evade roll was one of the main problems WHY melee was OP back in alpha. It can't ever return, it completely broke the RPS system. Roll attacks still work they just aren't immune to anything anymore like they used to be. I don't know why people have issues getting roll attack to work, sprint attack is the only one that likes to dick out once and awhile.
