Warzone player comes up with perfect idea to nerf melee damage ActivisionA genius Warzone player has come up with the perfect idea for nerfing melee damage, without making it completely useless. Melee damage has been a consistent complaint in Warzone. The ability to be downed by an enemy quickly punching you, before you can even lay a clip into them, is one that many players have become frustrated with. The complaints date as far back as June 2020, barely three months after the game released, when players started to complain about how \u201cbroken\u201d the mechanic was. A few months later, in April 2021, several streamers called for changes to be made, after almost a year of no changes. Now, over 18 months after release, melee damage remains the same, and players\u2019 distaste for it hasn\u2019t died down at all. While developers Raven clearly don\u2019t want to straight-up nerf meleeing in Warzone and make it obsolete, TheTrueAlCapwn may have come up with the perfect middle-ground, with a reasonable nerf to melee damage. \u201c[I\u2019m] pumping a full clip into a guy and he charges me head-on and kills me,\u201d they explained. \u201cDoes anyone think that is fair at all?\u201d His idea is a simple one, but could be the perfect way to reach players\u2019 demands for melee damage changes: \u201cIs it too much to ask that if you are actively being shot (flinch) you get reduced melee damage?\u201d This situation is a fairly common one, especially as soon as you drop in. We all know the pain of pinging pistol shots at an oncoming enemy, and they simply knock you on the head a couple of times to knock you down. With this change, you could reasonably expect to be able to take a couple more hits before going down, which would likely force players into gunfights rather than taking the easy melee route. Whether a change like this ever happens, or if it would even work, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
