I hate the new melee system!

[ZweiFang]

man baruuk came out i thought oh an interesting character that can make use of guardian derision, all you gotta do is actively block. but with the new system you pretty much killed that mod. i use to have melee attack on my left mouse click i just had to switch to melee to use it, now i need to assign a new button if i want to melee at all or sacrifice my ability to shoot to another button. this new melee system is solely for controller users. it's only more fluid if you happen to use a controller. auto block does not help you can collect attention with the guardian derision if they happen to be shooting at you already but it doesnt cause baruuk doesnt auto block if his first ability is active. sweet you just busted a character you made with an update and made melee based frames crap.

Yes, in the specific niche case of melee-blocking mods, it's broken. But that doesn't mean the entire system is broken.

IMO the system is fine, but I can understand the issues people have with it. It just takes a while to get used to I guess.

Yeah the blocking is pretty bad, but don't blame DE for your custom keybinds being broken. The new melee is much more fluid if you use the keyboard for melee as it is by default. Saying the update is for controller users is laughable, switching between firing and full melee combos without having to hold a button or holster weapons is far faster than before. This just seems like you played with it for five seconds, didn't know how to properly use the new system, then came here to rant.

And you can still do that just by flipping a switch in the Settings menu.

Objectively false.

They do need to remove auto-block. It screws with charge attacks, gunblades and blocking mods. It also serves no good purpose, just bind a key to block and be done with it.

In my opinion, the new mele system is less enjoyable than before, because the game is holding my hand and i don’t get the satisfaction to block attacks myself. I also cannot do combos that requires holding the block button, and i cannot glide in the air anymore with my mele. Not to mention i don’t understand why a warframe equipped with a gun would suddenly switch to its mele weapon to block attacks, while the best option would be to roll – or just take the damage if the frame is a tank – and shoot. I hope they will bring manual blocking, or at least let us choose if we want to enable auto blocking or not.

BATMAX, combos that require holding the block button still work. I've been using them every day since the update.

[pmcollectorboy]

No I seriously don't miss having to hold the swap button to go back into melee mode.

Who the hell used the block prior to the update?

Did they replace the block button with another to make the block combos? If so, which action should I replace on my controller? Block was previously on my left trigger (in the mele section), but now it’s empty because they removed the block action. I tried to practise the block combos of the 2 handed stance of the nikana, but it did not work.

Me. But maybe they should also remove the roll action and replace it with auto roll, because, who the hell is using roll, right… And what about reloading the guns? They should make almost everything automatic so we just move and shoot.

Me personally, I like to ride my bicycle with only 2 wheels, it’s fine if most people prefer to ride theirs with 4, but I don’t like that they will force me to ditch mine. At least give us the option.

I love the new melee system, it's so much smoother than the previous one :)

[No_Quarter]

if that is so broken why do we never see Baruuk players but somehow everyone still plays Volt and Sayn.....
