Grenades in melee? why not? it sounds downright orky to use a stick grenade as a mace. But seriously, if you're dealing with krak/stik grenades and meltabombs in melee you can roll to shake it off and if you keep them clashlocked in that area there's a good chance their own grenade will kill them, same as if they stun/clang locked you while you're stuck. Remember: All's fair in love and WAAAGH, so don't expect your enemy to always go for the melee duel when they can instead try to gain the upper hand by forcing you to back off or blow up.
So, I didn't read the whole thread, so I'll just ask. Is this like 9 pages of some melee players crying about suicide acts, and then us ranged players basically going, "fix our melee, then we'll talk"? Also, fix our melee, then we'll talk.
Ork Tankbustaz have access to an anti-tank melee weapon that is literally a rokkit welded to a stick. They then hold the stick and slam the rokkit against the tank until the rokkit explodes.
You...retreat/back off from meleeing the ranged class. Pretty simple. And if you are the one smacking the meltabomb/grenade with your OWN WEAPON, and setting it off...well sucks for you. Also, you can roll/evade/boost and melta's and kraks unstick.
If you fans of ranged combat are gonna keep assuming what my opinion is and then refer to me in a derogatory fashion without bothering to care about my opinion on ranged/melee balance, I'm gonna stop caring that melee is currently overpowered and start to enjoy massacring you guys until the balance changes.
Pounce, I wasn't talking about you, at least not in particular. Usually at least you're up for discussing/debating some things, which is respectable. That's why I said "some" melee players, and was specific to word it as such. I wouldn't make a statement completely blanketing a whole group of people, that'd be rather foolish. On the flip side, you and me both know there are some melee players who are a bit too...one sided let's say.
I remember once being charged by two Banshees, from inside about 15m, as a Devastator and had no time to level my HB at them, so I stuck the Krak to the wall by me and one of them melee'd it, detonating it. Totally worth it as it killed both them and saved the rest of the Marines. No way a Devastator could win against one, let alone two.
And on the other flip side, a ranged player in this thread referred to melee players universally as, "RMB-spamming shitters."
