Somehow it needs to be more complicated and gunplay more rewarding for less investment.Īlso steel path should show that there are issues with how the game is played. We don't need to nerf melee as much as a rework in how it works.

However, it's not just that melee is strong but it's not complicated or involved in anyway. I literally never potato my melee weapons unless I am certain I like them and I usually don't struggle in their use against higher star chart/sortie level enemies. Melee out performs gunplay by a wide margin. The feed back of those youtubers is legit. These kind of statements are why many claim this game is dying. It's the safe & easy choice that still comes with the massive damage boost. But that's simply not how Warframe works. Melee should be a risky choice rewarded with high damage. If you stay at range and line up shots with ranged weapons, you are a sitting duck and get hit a lot.ģ) Melee autoblocks 100% of frontal damage, including special effects like knockdowns. Therefore enemies are likely to miss their attacks on you. If you stay at long range, they spread out and all of them shoot at you.Ģ) When using melee weapons, your attacks keep you very mobile. Only one problem: due to Warframe's AI, melee range is actually the safest place to be!ġ) When you're in melee range, a large number of grouped enemies have their aim blocked by their friends, and so they don't even attack you at all. Yeah this has always been DE's statement too: 'Using melee is risky because you get up close and personal, so you should be rewarded with high damage because you took the risk.'

Just so everyone can see that Warframe still isn't any more fun than before. The solution: Roll out a test server build with -50% melee damage. Melee has forced bleeds, which bypass armor and thus kill everything. I know because I sometimes equip all Dragon Keys. You can reduce melee damage by 75% and it changes nothing. It doesn't work very well, and dealing significantly less damage per shot when your +firerate Arcane activates feels terrible. Their general aim is to make them do enough damage, then add diminishing returns on the DPS important enemies can recieve. They are perfectly fine, you are bad.ĭE has given up on balancing weapons. Players being invincible is the real issue here. The complainers usually use Inaros, making them functionally invincible. Yes, melee is 'too strong', but it makes no difference. As someone who doesn't currently play warframe, nor plans on doing so for the remaining duration of the current Night Wave (3-18 months), I feel adequately qualified to share my opinion. Apparently the current fad is to demand melee nerfs.
