Not to mention the Bane of shooters since PVP shooters were a thing, ADAD strafing. The ADAD mechanic is one of the most notorious and most hated video game mechanics of all time and is alive and well in EC.

Most players can be categorized into:
-Uses only DeBash.
-Uses only Light Attack.
-Runs in circles, dodges, spams random attacks and tries to shoot you.
If you just spam heavy attacks, type one is easy to take care of, after type two has hit you once, you can just start debashing them, type three is pure cancer and needs to go. Its a pretty ugly workaround, but until melee gets fixed, it works, at least better than any alternative I have tried.
Of course there are unicorns, who actually know what they are doing, but I really dont mind being killed by them.

Also the best way so far to deal with type three is timing heavy attacks, taking a more careful calculation before using it, to make sure it hits. It also irritates them if you shoot them a bit and go straight back to melee when their minds just have readjusted to ranged combat.

This just in; melee in this game blows, more at 11. Back to you, Tom.

Just remove dbash and clang.

mayaswell just remove all gun mods that affect how a gun works at that point.

Better yet, just remove melee.

Uhhh...ok? I mean if you want to be a drama queen about it. Eldar don't have extended mags and kill just fine. Clearly they are not needed.

Giving perhaps the two best guns in the game, Shoota and Bolter, 60 clip mags when top players are popping people in 6-8 shots is a major reason why they go on murder sprees.

It's also why no one bothers using AP rounds and the ONLY reason Eldar use Fast Reload is because they DON'T have extended mags available(although tbh I prefer fast over extended but I'm weird).

I mean why does Box give you 10 but drum gives you 30?

Why isn't it:

Basic 30
Box 40
Drum 50

Reduce LP on Drum to compensate.

Currently if you knife two people to death in a match you'll probably get crusader though.

Eldars impulse accelerator Kind of functions as a drum mag in that it increases the overall damage of the magazine and makes it slower to deplete (at a very minor dps loss, but you can use Ap ammo alongside it too)

and the reason why no one uses AP rounds is for most weapons it dosent change the shots to kill, and on my tzeentch elite i use fast reload mag not the drum, because it is vastly better for the tzeentch shoot and take cover to regen armour super fast.

Drum is more popular but fast reload is very good depending on your playstyle.

And for a top player there wouldnt be much difference in a 60 round mag with a 2.5 sec reload and a 30 round with a 1 sec reload in terms of them going on murder sprees, fast reload lets you quickly get back into the fight and dosent leave you vulnerble for very long, where as drum is the opposite, good output till it runs out of ammo then a long period of vulnerbility.

no one complains on PS2 when LMGs can have 200 rounds kill in 7 ish shots and have a higher rate of fire than bolters in this

Box also reduces your max ammo capacity. Fast reload is actually a better choice than box.
