The end of Melee

[Teladi]

I play this game since 3 years and I can say that with this last patch the melee is definitely dead.

I don't know what they touched but a lot of skills they just miss. Gap closers jumping somewhere else except to the enemy, abilities just hitting somewhere near the objective but not the objective etc.

All this while also the ranger meta got stronger. OPR is Full of rangers with almost 0 melee players. You see a lot of firestaff and muskets hitting very hard, even to players in medium armor like if they are wearing a paper. All this while melee also need to chase them, try to hit them and fighting vs all that kitting and high damage, with an stupid short jump and a joke of mitigation.

I'm watching in YouTube a lot of players just quitting because is not fun anymore and I feel the same.

Another thing that disappointed me is the matchmaking... 3 years waiting to don't notice any difference how matches ends with scores of 1000 vs 300 points like almost every match.

Is hard to believe this situation, but i think that AGS needs urgently to fix melee and reduce all rangers weapon the damage about a 25%.

[Verdict]

Eh, as a healer the only thing i worry about in OPR is a GS/hatchet/void blade killing me. Ranged can't do much. Right now who has the most melee wins mid and most OPRs. Voidblade is extremely OP right now and is the best wep next to firestaff IMO.

I know you are upset hatchet got nerf'd a little but it's still very good. You don't have to make up things tho. Melee is still king in OPR with good healers healing the melee ball.

You have no idea what your talking.

Void blade have been useless FOR YEARS!

Hatchet have been an utility weapon also for years!

80% of the players play light armor since YEARS!

Medium armor have been an armor used by almost no one FOR YEARS!!

Ranger meta has been strong since ALWAYS!
I remember the hell it was season 2 i think. Where Muskets were so oppressive that they had to nerfed to the floor.

And by the way, I played all kinds of melee builds in this game and a few times ranger weapons. Currently I'm playing Spear/ SnS and i never missed so many attacks in my life.

thats correct. especially fire staff thing is broken

Indeed, if your a melee assasin/brusier there is no point of trying to do any PvP content if its not wars.

I hope they revert the change fast.
