Ok ive been trying to figure you out for months...and I just cant. You talk about balancing on one hand then on the other you bad mouth anybody whos smart enough not to waste time with a broken system. So im some pathetic loser now for using my head and using ranged weapons because of the fact that I know they are straight up better in every way shape and form? Wouldnt that make you a hard headed player thats dragging your team down by even bothering with the useless system that is melee? I want to agree with you so bad but im sick and tired of your insults. When melee finally gets better and possibly stronger than ranged I hope your willing to suck up people calling you the *dirty player* for rolling melee. I get it you love melee but hell no im so damn tired of you insulting people who dont play the game your way.
Nothing changes if nobody speaks up. Simply not playing a class whose gameplay style you prefer just because another class is better is not a solution. I don't "bad mouth" people, I detest bullying in all its forms. I'm not calling anyone a "pathetic loser", people just don't want their OP crap nerfed, and Ranged with the larger voice will deny and mis-direct to get what they want. I do however feel the need to defend the well beaten underdog that is Melee from the vast majorty of EC's population who are Ranged. Again if nobody speaks up the larger Ranged voice will continue to dominate with denial, misdirection, smokescreens and flat out lies just to keep their OP easy life causing massive harm to the games health, well being and life span as they are content with stamping out anything that isn't their precious "point and shoot" mechanic, killing any interesting nuance of multi faceted game play.
very good point , all the time my scorpion get block/clang and im damaged in 3 hit and left with 20 % just to jump back and finish bullets , yeah imbalance as fock
I agree completely but name calling and shaming is the fastest way to make enemies of all sides. I love range bro and I agree with you but calling me *dirty* or easy mode just aint right. Im here speaking up along with anyone else who understands whats going on. You dont want to make enemies with the little bit of allies you may have left. You can defend people without bathmouthing others. And yes there will always be people who dont want the things they work with to be changed. At that point you need to just get a direct audience with the devs. You know how people work so why bother speaking to them? At the end of the day this entire forum is a waste if you do not talk directly with devs. Yea playing another class isnt exactly a solution but it still works. Games have been like this for decades and will continue to be like it. The fact that people keep trying to fight it is confusing. Its like trying to fight the law. Your going to freaking lose so why even bother?You gotta leave the emotions and feelings out and keep it business. That way more people will take your post seriously.
With the crazy stuff that comes out of some of the melee crowds mouths I don't think they'll be satisfied until people are a free kill once they reach melee range like the current ACTUAL RANGED CLASS (Havoc,Dev,Loota,Reaper) is. A powerfist couldn't drive through their skull that Traitors, Tacs, Shootas and DA are more of a hybrid. Mostly ranged but able to defend themselves in melee.
The problem is there are videos of ACTUAL RANGED CLASS defending themselves easily against power fists in melee. The problem as it seems to be is that the ranged crowd is denying there is a problem at all.
If you are losing to a havoc/dev/loota/reaper in melee as a powerfist you are doing something desperately wrong. More wrong than using the AV melee weapon in an infantry fight.
I do find the notion of an ork parrying a powersword with knuckle dusters and winning rather... hilariously bad. The melee system is just the biggest mess ever. Mind I have seen a tactical parry a slugga's power axe in the same fashion with the tiny little combat knife.
