Warlock Melee Is Broken
Warlock melee [b]not abilities[/b] has much larger range than all the other classes.
It's also a semi AOE, it hits in a [b]area[/b] in front and to the sides of the user rather than just a direction. The area in which the attack takes effect only effects a single person at a given time, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it is a AOE (area of effect).
The warlock melee is much easier to land hits with. Not only that, the warlock melee has zero travel time, while the blink strike must lunge towards the opponent.
Guaranteeing that in a melee battle, not only will the warlock have the easiest time aiming their melee attack. Their melee is guaranteed to hit first.
This makes it [b]extremely[/b] easy to use, and instead of it requiring skill, people just spam it.
I even see people spam their melee after they have shot a bullet, even if the enemy is already dead, just in case. A warlock even once told me, that he calls his melee, his second shotgun.
[b]Base[/b] Warlock melee: longer range + AOE + no travel time = unbalanced
Plain and simple.
Edit 1: Another problem the [b]base[/b] warlock melee is even more effective and reliable than even the blink strike for the hunter. Which is an [b]ability[/b] with a [b]cooldown[/b].
That is a serious problem that needs to be addressed.

1 ReplyDude throwing knife is the most op melee in crucible if done right

1 ReplyBro this is balanced. The Titan has the charge attack and the hunter can go invisible.

1 ReplyEach class has it's own various OP abilities. The extra reach for us Warlocks is one of them.

1 ReplyThe base melee is standard distance, the scorch and energy drain themselves are the only part of the melee that's ranged. It also has the slowest animation, which balances it out. And while we're at it. Shotgun spam is a MUCH more serious issue than a warlock range punching you once every 2-4 minutes.

165 RepliesYou're talking to the wrong Warlock, mister. I'll ask the Sandbox guys and see what they thing, though.

2 Repliesi like how deej looked into this in november and there still hasn't been a change.

5 RepliesWarlock melee is just fine stop whining

If anything this could be warlocks "4th ability" while Titans have shoulder charge and hunters invisibility. There are no other abilities for the warlock that doesn't reinforce the main 3 (melee, grenade, super)

2 RepliesThis was done intentionally. And has been discussed on this forum repeatedly. Time to move on. Or just make yourself a warlock and enjoy.

4 RepliesIf it works really well then it's not broken. I would say that the titan and hunter melee needs work. We need buffs in this game and not nerfs. Nerfing is for sissy Nancy's
-
2 RepliesSo I guess I can now look forward to my Warlock holding a Nerf sword, awsome.

2 RepliesIn the short range of the warlock melee(force push) its like any weapon. The further u are away the less damage it does. U dont do full damage all the tine. Nut up and shut up meg.

4 RepliesEver class has a differnt play stlye if u r going on about warlock melee u should have a go at titans sholder charge. Every class if differnt so go with the class u like

4 RepliesI do agree with you, because I jumped over a warlock the other day and while he was punching blindly I still got hit with his AoE melee. You are also going to get thousands of hate comments. While the super intelligent destiny community compares the warlock melee to things like shoulder charge and a throwing knife. When you are just talking about the regular melee and not an ability. Good luck getting your point across tho, but destiny is broken and apparently they want it that away.

Yes, this is true, however, the animation speed is actually quite slow, it is very annoying sometimes, you won't notice it unless you play Warlock frequently... :/
-
I agree. The range is a bit much. I lose most melee fight with a fully charged storm fist against Warlock even though I bring in the first hit. Well it could always be due to lag
