[jwplayer 4QyvRkrz] Meleeing is one of the most important mechanics in Warzone. It\u2019s often easier to whip out a knife and shank an enemy at close quarters, especially when you need to reload. However, it\u2019s been a hot topic in the past year. Some people think it\u2019s too overpowered, and have even gone as far as calling it \u201cbroken.\u201d Four months ago, the COD: Warzone subreddit created a poll to determine whether players felt meleeing was too overpowered. Two-thirds of the voters declared it was fine as it was. But that didn\u2019t stop other threads from popping up. Either way, it seems like plenty of players still think it\u2019s an issue worth discussing, and something that needs to be addressed. A recent thread has re-ignited discussion once again. It\u2019s already amassed more than 5,700 upvotes. In essence, the post revolves around a short clip in which a player runs into an enemy in the heat of battle. The player sticks a Semtex grenade onto an enemy\u2019s chest. Although his throw couldn\u2019t have been more perfect, it doesn\u2019t kill the enemy. \u201cA Semtex to the chest doesn\u2019t down someone but a couple pistol whips will,\u201d said the original poster. \u201cOne of the many imbalances of [Warzone].\u201d \u201cCan we talk about shooting someone on the chest 3 times and then you get punched twice?\u201d asked one user in the comments. \u201cMelee is broken as f**k in this game and the insane aim assist with melee lets you hit them without even facing them,\u201d wrote another. The discussion even went on to compare melee damage to a point-blank shotgun to the chest. In the end, the consensus was that meleeing does too much damage, and a change would be well-received. Of course, there are bound to be players who disagree as well. However, the discussion has gained traction again, and it seems like it won\u2019t fade away anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone players are complaining about how \u201cbroken\u201d melees are Activision-BlizzardCall of Duty: Warzone players are complaining that meleeing is still overpowered and broken, re-igniting a discussion that is as old as the game itself.
