fluff wise marines move faster than a normal human can track .. eldar on the other hand are twice if not more faster... and yes duels are fast and very mobile BUT in game it is a little different lock on imo is required to keep up a good duel / fight BUT rolls should be increased the 2 or 3 dodge is silly 3 minimum 5 max with add-ons would be nice give melee more of a feel instead of slap slap dead next ..
Fast attack spam isnt that bad. Like that other guy said, I have pretty good success with rolling toward my attackers back and and getting some slag shoota headshots. Though that doesnt change the fact that the melee system is absolute garbage and needs to be reworked from the ground up Melee 3.0 when?
WELL GUESS WOT YA GIT? IF YOUZ CAN'T USE YER ORKY SKILL TA SMASH SUM POOR GIT IN DA FACE DEN YOUZ GUNNA DIE! AND RIGHTLY SO! YOUZ MISS YOUZ CAN SUCK ON A GROT! DON'T BE A PANZY! LET LOCK ON MELEE DIE WIFF DA REST OF DA PANZY IDEAS DATS IN DIS 'ERE GAME. MAKE DIS GAME ORKY ZOG DAMNIT!
Lock-on takes the player's skill out of too many situations. Aim and movement would be a lot more dynamic without it, and melee without lockon would differentiate the mediocre from the best. If the lock-on was removed, you'd see skilled players win more often since their skill would make more of a difference. But, sadly, the devs do their own thing.
Really so those that have a physical impairment (like myself) who enjoy this game and that can have the assist with the soft lock to help where needed will not want to loose this aspect with the OP attitude of "Git Good" is impossible..... How about you think before you open your mouth further!
Let me translate this to ork. *clears throat* OI! DEM LOCK-ON SHODDY BIZNESS BE TAKIN DA SKILL OUTTA DEM FOIGHTS. CAN'T HAVE A PROPPA CHOPPY FITE WIF DEM GITS WHEN EVERY MUCK WIF HALF A NOGGIN CAN LOCK ONTA HIS TARGET SO EAZY. WIFOUT LOCKON, I RECKON WE LOT WOULD SEE THE BOYZ GET SEPARATED FROM... UHH..

Ahem. There we go.
Its a console port - Lockon is for consoles and they won't bother changing it for PC. We are basicly paying to betatest a console game.
Lad youz sound like a panzy eldar. AND IT'S NOT A SOFT LOCK ON IT'Z PRETTY DEAD 'ARD LOCK ON. TRAININ WHEELS. YOUZ DON'T NEED IT. PRAKTICE AND YOUZ CAN BE A PROPPA BOY WOTS MELEEZ WIFF SKILL. ANYONE WHO SAYS DEYZ "NEED" DA LOCK ON IS A GROT.
In my experience, RMB spam only works until you find someone knowing what he's doing, then you get butchered. If skill was such a nonfactor, why you keep seeing the same people topping the charts and grabbing crusader commendation? Yesterday some CSM guy had more than twice the kill I had, on a match where we won, I had crusader, and I think 3rd overall score on my side. Did he get lucky? Maybe he had a mouse macro to spam RMB faster, since it looks like it's the one button-problem solving-panacea.
Lock on is a tool. You can choose to use it, or choose not to. It does not overcome "skill". I'm sorry. A lock on user is not going to beat a more skillful player whether he chooses to use lock or not. And for the record, every good melee player vid I've seen has lock on being toggled now and then all the time. It's there, use it or don't. But don't blame you losing a fight because "oh what a loser he used lock on!"
