Fix Melee whiff
So is there ever going to be a fix to your melee whiffing? It’s been years of playing this game and countless times I’ll go up to someone to punch and I hit the air next to them and end up dying, there’s even times I’ll punch twice and still miss so it’s pretty annoying that this still hasn’t been fixed. Obviously you can say it’s a connection thing but I’ve gotten new internet and it still happens

1 ReplyI think this has to do with the garbage peer to peer connection we end up using in D2. Desync between 2 clients is very commonly seen , dying behind walls and missing melee or them not taking damage when you shoot them point blank on your screen. Sometimes they match you Asians with people from NA , that's around 250 ping. And if gets worse if one of their connection is bad regardless of physical distance and is also easily exploitable by some sweat lords. Can't take PvP seriously in a game that uses P2P.

Since crossplay went live, my ability to melee Xbox players while I'm on PS5 seems to be terrible. I lunge and get the full animation, but no damage at all. Sometimes twice in a row. Which is weird, because I can't remember the last time my melee whiffed pre-crossplay. Easily been months.

1 ReplyI’ve seen it less on Warlock, but then again warlocks still have the slowest melee
-
Idk why but for me it's deffinetley been worse this season than ever before. It's really bad

6 RepliesPVP cried, melee was nerfed. Un-nerfing melee will cause PVP to cry again. Rock and hard place.
-
2 RepliesCan confirm. This has become a bigger issue as of recent.
-
Warlocks have the most aim assist in their melee tho
-
2 RepliesIt’s so bad on warlocks especially

2 RepliesEdited by McBoo-YAH: 9/24/2021 5:56:43 PMYou know what’s worse than a melee whiffing? Audibly hearing ever swing in a sentinel shield combo hitting and no damage being dealt…

1 ReplyMy issue is when I use my melee ability and the enemy shows that they’ve been hit by it (electricity or flames on them) they don’t take any damage 🙄
-
2 RepliesIt’s especially annoying when using shoulder charge (which seems to have less range than regular melee these days lmao) and you push someone away from you instead of it registering damage on them. Happens to me usually multiple times per match if I use it a good amount, so I have almost entirely stopped using it. It’s too frustrating to use.

5 Replieswhich skill tree has melee whiff? i wanna try it.

Lost 2 rounds because of this crap. It’s so aggravating.

Sucks when this happens in trials Made me look like a potato that rushes off and dies [spoiler]story time dude was good but panic and rushed me, we both lowered each other, I go to finish him with a melee and whiff, I die [/spoiler]
-
I’ve started letting them kill me when they clearly connected and did zero damage. I just don’t care.

3 RepliesFrom my experience, Titan's can't hit things below them and Warlocks can't hit things above them. Hunter's seem to have the edge in melee-duels, since they usually have good lunge tracking (except on Revenant)
-
Is it still considered a whiff if you go through your opponent?
-
Always fun to get the first punch in then get dead when the opponent Stockton slaps you in return.

1 ReplyI've been whiffin' nova bombs since D1!!!
-
Agreed, I’ve seen most whiffs when engaging with the enemy at sloped surfaces. Could be some distance value that triggers the melee, but there could be a range that is hit that will cancel the hit.
-
4 RepliesNah. What needs fixing is when you use your ranged melee on the mob 10 feet in front of you, but you magically spin 180 to b!tch slap a Dreg standing behind you for no reason.
-
1 ReplyShoulder charge is more of an evasive ability nowadays. Whiffs more times than it doesn’t.

17 RepliesPvP players when they can't do a 20 meter lunge

1 Replyits not a connection thing. the hit detection for melee is just complete and total backyard programming
