    @hayhor my issue is the knock back stun lock effect it has when multiple people are punching me. Its virtually impossible even for me to wraith Q out of it due to knock backs and them being able to lunge to punch from quite a distance away. Something needs changed either damage or the aim assist it gives people to be able to hit from some distance away. I have been punched from a good 5 meters away up to 10. It just super man punches across a room. Add 2-3 people doing it and there is no counter even to escape.
  • @E9ine_AC I believe it is like that to encourage playing as a team and punch someone to death as a team (?) idk that only happens to me when I land on frag xd

    @MrCarri-X I have to keep my trail turned off just to avoid this issue. If i got it on its like 3 people are dead set on punching the pred out.
  • I dunno, there's the idea of it and the mechanic.  Strictly speaking here I think the mechanic is the biggest problem. 

    My opinion:  Dropping with white items is a huge improvement in the game.  But like Arms race, I would also let people drop with a P2020.  Sometimes, a punchfest will destroy a poor P2020 but I would actually take punching out of the game, or reduce its damage to like 20, even 10.  Does it make sense if you're armed with an heirloom axe? No.  But in the context of the mechanic, I mean...a punch is doing as much damage as a thrown arc star uh, whatever.  Just give everyone P2020's and then you have to put it away before you start punching for 30 a hit.  Which at least gives another player time to shoot you up.

    Getting ganged by 3 is never fun, but I think it's worst when yes, you're just starting the game and it is seconds into the match.

  • @E9ine_AC  I feel like the whole "you shouldn't be losing the fight if you had a gun" argument that usually gets made in this type of topic isn't a strong one for sure.

    3 people with the combined hp of 450 full sending you fists flying is pretty hard to deal with, especially when you're being hit from different angles.

    I'm not sure how I feel about a nerf though, as the melee has worked in my favour aswell as against it on a number of occasions. It really is a tricky one.

    I would definitely be open to the idea of a nerf if it can be balanced well.

    @E9ine_AC Oh yeah if 3 people follow you as a solo you are screwed. Not sure what the answer is tho. Distance to land a punch seems too far.

    @E9ine_AC I complained about this months ago.. And no one agreed with me.. I mean come on, you drop on a P2020 and I start punching you, there is a 99% I will knock you because you're getting tossed around like a rag doll trying to aim a slow firing weapon that hardly stuns me.

    Now throw in 2 enemies dropping directly behind you. You pick up the weapon they punch you and send you flying. You knock one, but the third gets you because 1. you couldn't get the spare ammo 2. even if you got the spare ammo you'll be knocked before you can reload...

    The only issue I have with nerfing punching is it will really make you a sitting duck on bad drops amongst other things.
