Ranged feels so shit right now, ignoring the stupid 1 shot kill guns, using any other gun makes me feel I am playing the wrong game. I really don't enjoy being a right click spammer. I understand some of you are enjoying it, I just hope this game changes for people like me that want guns to work.
Well for starters how does melee kill you? I know for one the maps favor melee with all the capture zones being in close quaters so melee is king there. And when the meleer is RMBing his way towards you all you can do is Dbash or hope the guy is terrible. But if you can give us more spesfics we can help you more, are you playing as what and which weapons are you using against what melee class and what were they using?
Best thing you can do is throw a grenade at your own feet. It will make them dodge away. You dodge in opposite direction and run away. If you try to fight your knife will break after one clash leaving you fucked.
The 40K universe, for the most part, for Orks and Astartes can be a 50/50 mix of melee and ranged combat. Expect just as much melee combat as ranged combat in EC. Melee combat isn't an occasional nuisance in EC, it's ever present. If you're ignoring the melee portion of the game and neglecting to learn melee techniques on your Tactical class, you're putting yourself at a distinct disadvantage. If you think melee is easy mode, my suggestion would be to hop on a Raptor/Jump Assault or any Ground Assault and try nothing but melee classes for a full day or full evening of game play. You will quickly realize it's not as easy as you think.
There aren't many counters against a melee class when they close range on you, you're pretty much screwed unless you get lucky.
This is completely false and and outright lie. Mods please clean up this garbage. Or if the mods dont perhaps @Oveur can.
