Have you ever had that moment 2 minutes in to a simple level 12 mission where you announced to your fireteam that you were down? It is embarrassing. I know. I've been there. The response is "Why what happened?" You give your excuses like your sparrow malfunctioned or your trigger stuck. But deep down you know. You were meleeing.
You tell yourself it's not a problem. I melee dregs and acolytes all the time and no one gets hurt. Sure maybe I have a give and take with thralls every now and then, but it's not like I try to melee hallowed wizards. You know except that last mission. But you promise that was the only time.
At Melee Anonymous we are here to help you through your addiction. We have a proven method to help you heal and develop healthier habits to benefit you and your fireteam.
You'll find us in the group section. Come on over, I think Steve is bringing donuts and coffee Tuesday.

Hi Argurios again.... so progress report: today i meleed a tank... during iron banner... it somehow exploded... most beautiful thing i ever saw 😆 i died of course... but so did the tank 😏
-
I was three days clean, i found a scout rifle i really enjoyed. So i was keeping my distance. Then i went to the tower, there was a bounty, 30 melee kills. Ok maybe just for the bounty. Then i will quit. I can melee socially. I can control it. I was wrong. Im back to boxing with captains. I dont even care if lightswitch is on anymore
-
Especially when I first unlocked shoulder charge :( Trying to land the last hit on sepiks using a flying knee and misjudging it. There's no way your fireteam didn't see it happen, they were staring straight at him

The Defender Bubble is like melee alcohol. something about the way it envelopes you makes you want to punch everything. All my foes who join me, also seem to become intoxicated with melee (you can see it in their haze covered eyes). Once, I put a bubble around an explosive box and melee'd it to see what would happen....I got hurt. I have once jumped on the head of a boss and threw the bubble shield out and bam, intoxication city for the boss. We had a melee mosh pit all night (or until my bubble stopped, whichever came first).

You can't kill the melee. Melee will live on. Auto Rifle tried to kill the melee, but they failed as they were smite to the ground.

Hi all, I'm TazerMonkey1419, and I too am a Melee fiend..... I'm a level 27 Striker Titan, and, and I just can't get enough of introducing my enemies to Mr. Defibrillator Fist

Edited by reported: 9/23/2014 1:06:30 AMHello my name is MantisTobaggan38 and I, am a meleer :( I wasn't always like this. Like most of you, I was spending most of my days burnt out to death in a car on some nameless highway in what was once known as Russia. But then I was awoken by a robot. I traversed the world with joy and finesse but then that all changed when I panicked in the face of oppression and bashed my mighty void infused fist at an enemy. Ever since then, and even more so after taking "enhancements" for making my melees more potent, I have been meleeing everything I come across. I melee enemies lower than me, same level, heck, even BOSSES! I'll just rush them and assault them. I'm afraid I'll melee anyone, even my family, just for the rush I get. I know it's wrong but it's become an addiction and I need help, Melee Anonymous.

Hi. I'm The Stick, and I have a problem. I am a gunslinger, who knows better than to punch first when confronted with a Hallowed enemy, but I do it anyway. Instead of stepping back and using my trusty hand cannon, I stab! And then I stab again! And Again! And AGAIN! AND AGAIN!!!! It feels so good! I'm on top of the world! I'M INVINCIBLE!!!!! Ummmm, guys? I'm down. A little help? Thank you for letting me share with you.
-
At first I only melee'd to get enemies to back off when they got too close... Now I go out of my way to chase them down just to punch them in the face. I think I have a problem.

Edited by Galaxy wolf: 9/23/2014 12:41:26 PMI'm Galaxy Wolf, level 27 Warlock, and I'm a melee'er. I can't help it, i've got a fusion rifle, grenades that I can burn people to death with, a legendary machine gun that will take most players out in three to four shots.. but I'm about as vicious as vicious gets when someone's within lunge distance, and I've been perfecting the art of the Tiger-strike-lunge! (Using warlocks Boosted-glide in combination with their ranged melee for a suprise melee attack acrost a suprising distance) and my version of the Dragonball Z style fighting (Punch in the face blink behind punch in the back of the head!). I often engage in bare-knuckle brawls with minotaurs, praetorians and Hallowed knights for the love of it (if you're fast enough, you can avoid being hit back, and avoid most of the gun splash damage they can put out), and I've an unhealthy obsession with the sword of crota. Yes, I often get killed by shotguns, yes I often get toasted by Fusion Rifles, yes those that i catch off guard several times in a match soon learn to stay the hell away from the giant red warlock with a flaming arm and burning orange wrists.. but that doesn't stop me from jumping headfirst against the first thing I see that isn't carrying a rocket launcher (and occasionally, if i'm desperate enough, that too.. denies them all their ammo and trades kills for the rocket!) But it's not all that bad though, now that my hunter has full level 20 gear (all legendary, and even an exotic chest waiting), I have decided to actually create one so I can indulge my meleeistic ways with arc blade! ^^ ... I mean.. yes, it's bad.. I should be ashamed... (I'm not! <3)

Edited by Red Paper Duck: 9/23/2014 11:26:48 AMHello, I'm Killerfi5h007 and I'm a meleer. I used to only melee whenever something popped up in my face a startled me. It was only a reaction. And then, I started playing a Titan. I can still recall my first melee. It was a dreg and I remember that the sound of my fist cracking that poor fellow had the greatest cracking sound I have ever heard. That was it, I was hooked. I loved the sound that it made. The rush into battle, the adrenaline coursing through my veins as I cracked dreg after dreg, acolyte after acolyte. I even started doing it in real life. I meleed my wife in my sleep. She lost six teeth. I knew I had a serious problem but I just couldn't stop. The worst thing was I got others into doing it. I had a friend named Cris. Cris used to be a sniper and he was good at it. But that changed when I had him try melee. Things were fine until we came across a defender Titan hold outpost Charlie. He saw us coming and activated his super. Cris said "I think I can take him." "No!" I begged, "He has resistance, you'll never make it!" Cris ran in. He didn't come out. Please, save you friends from the fate of Cris and help us put an end to melee.

I like to melee from time to time, sure, but I swear it isn't a problem for me. It's not the melee's fault that I went down in that one strike.. It's not the melee's fault I lose most of my fights in the crucible because I charge forward with my fist in the air.. I swear I'm not addicted.. I can stop whenever I want to! I don't NEED help!
-
I'm a fresh level 28 Titan here, though I also play Warlock and Hunter on the side. All three I melee with. Any FPS really, give me the option and I WILL do it. Even in the beta about 60% of my kills were melee. I will melee a dreg over a cliff, that Hallowed Knight despite knowing I might at best stagger it, I'll go Shoulder Charging a guy I know has a shotgun, just on the off chance he might not get it off on time, or I might just time it too soon and end up right in front of him with no kill but my own. I've even gone into Arc Blade now...so many times have the Reapers and Hallowed killed me for my hubris...

Edited by I No C U: 9/23/2014 7:01:40 AMI am a level 25 Hunter and I am addicted to melee. It always feels satisfying when a well placed throwing knife hits an enemy in the head and so much fun teleporting right into an enemy's face and shanking them in the face. I cannot stop. My addiction gets worse when the "Juggler" modifier is present. I usually end up completing the mission, almost without firing a shot. Please, I need help
-
Lol. Ha.

I am a level 28 Titan and I am addicted to the melee. Phew that felt good to finally admit. I think i knew it was a problem when I unlocked shoulder charge. I was 8900 into the 9000 EXP bounty when I shoulder charged myself and an innocent Dreg of a cliff. I should have stopped there but I couldn't. I punch and shoulder charge everyone and everything. Dregs, Fallen, Hallowed Knights, Cabal and Interceptors. If it moves it deserves a Melee. Sure some times it works out well. There have been many occasions that the melee has finished of a boss or saved a friend from certain death, but mostly it ends in my punching a level 20 Knight until I die. I am tired of lying to my team mates by saying "They just spawned right on top of me". I need help and hopefully this group can provide the support I need to begin my recovery.

Sober for 8 hours now , and that is because im Offline ....

Lol you mean DestinyHaterNumber666's roommate, Steve? (From my satire thread)

Hello, I'm SnipeRaider46, and I'm a meleer. I think it all started with the Sword Of Crota. And then the Arcblade. And then I got some melee kills in the Crucible. Then I tried to melee my Ghost. And then Phogoth the Untamed. And then the Traveller… I have a problem.
-
Yea I have a Problem.. Iv melee killed more than 500 ppl in PvP :/
-
Edited by THEANNOINTED7: 9/23/2014 12:50:44 AMThe hilarity of this is that I'm really good at melee. I can take down most enemies even at my level with melee. That said, that's partially cause I'm not stupid about it. I'm not gonna try to melee a level 20 hallowed knight unless it's almost completely alone....Though I might melee a swarm of thralls for shits and giggles. So no. I don't have a problem. My addiction makes me better. ;)
-
LMFAO this and people jumping ahead of the fire team trying to be mr. hero and then needing to be revived when they die. I can't get to you if you are surrounded! And you shouldn't be dying like that if you're using cover and killing enemies in a strategic way. The best is when you see someone trying to melee kill a hallowed knight with a sword and they wonder what the hell happened when they see their body get thrown halfway across the screen like a ragdoll. haha
-
I think I may have a problem, my last strike I meleed one of my strike team members. I didn't mean to, honest. It was just, I don't know I was in the moment, there were so many of them and you know how those dregs all look alike. Don't call me racist, just calling it how I see it. Better sign me up before someone gets hurt..
-
but..but... it was a bountie to melee them all.... is swear that robot forced me to do it *scratches arm*... what are you looking at!? it's just feeling itchy since i've been back from the field.
-
But I'm pretty sure that it's gonna work this time.
-
Glad we've found each other. I am so bad about it. Most times it's because I don't want to wait to reload and just start shanking...shanks...and anything else, wizards, captains, Hive Princes...going back to the checkpoint or waiting for respawn is so much longer but I forget just how long every single time.
