Punching shouldn't do more damage than bullets. Jump punches shouldn't be able to knock a Valk, 20m out of the air. The melee lunge shouldn't target lock and make you move faster than a stimmed-out Octane.
The current state of melee is a total mess! Melee attacks should be a last resort, not the first and best option in a fight.
It needs to be nerfed in its lunge. its absolutely stupid. The apex melee lunge is worse than commando pro in modern warefare 2.
There is no reason for the lunge and lock on. If cod can get rid of that then so can apex. melee should not be a go to weapon to win a fight. It should be a last resort. The hit boxes are wack as well. But I would just reducing lunge by a big margin or removing it all together. melee is so good, people just go for that instead of picking up weapons. Its a shooter, you are supposed to shoot.
@Kateh8sapexThe lunge is broken, the damage is fine
The way I see it... on other games 1 or 2 melees will instantly kill you while on apex you need a good 4-5 punches to actually down someone
When I land near another team and decide my best option is to grab a gun and then that gun happens to be a 2020 and I proceed to clip their earlobes and shoot the dust off their shoulders whilst they punch me in the face I tend to think the problem was me in that situation.
I love the APEX's Melee. Others may have a problem with it, but I feel a sympathetic mechanism. Sorry!
Thats actually good idea for LTM! No weapons. Whole map - one big boxing ring!
