Much better than the tf2 equivalent, a single bullet spawned in front of you

[Tobo]

Valve is so consistent in the funniest things

[masinhughes]

I wonder if theyll ever fix it to make it feel more connective. I feel as of right now the melee is very clunky and most of the time i kill somone its cause the tried dodging and i hit the air particles they left behind

[daveshapes]

It’s actually more like a hallow cone, if you go in the sandbox and get right to the edge of where you can no longer reach when punching, if you look slightly up, down, or either side, you’ll hit the punch. So it doesn’t go as far in the center where you’re crosshairs point

Update: it appears this has changed. I haven’t tested the new melee pattern but it doesn’t work the same way it used to

[Angel___________________]

Neon prime wasn't canceled... Deadlock is neon prime...

[jamesbland]

Man, I am sure glad all Valve games have nice melee... and don't fuck up when you least expect it. Like being blocked by teamates, or lag, or the cosmos deciding you didn't hit that Spy.... but that Spy.... oh yeah... he hit you...

[outhander]

deadlock punches feel more like hitboxes than attack cones since all enemies in front of my character are damaged at once

[dazzlemasseur]

I thought he was gonna say there's a way to chain 3 light punches.
That would be quite nice actually.

[jonc]

objectively the best form of melee. same as overwatch

[Tneal]

I figured this out on my own by accidentally punching two troopers.

[Bonwaa]

The melee is busted af. I swear the enemy is 5 meters away from me and they still hit that bloody melee, don't even think of blocking cause it's so far away. Don't really like that atm

[grug_g]

Seems like there's a lock on mechanic especially with the heavy melee that isn't canceled by dodges

[linguine]

I just found this out when I killed a Lash by meleeing him from around the corner of a pillar. I was genuinely surprised it hit him because I couldn't see him at all.

[Whaquille]

You can see a weird effect of this if you bind Melee to Mousewheel UP, the input is too fast so you just see a little wisp in front of you

[ReiSS]

It also needs a few angle in Y axis like 10° up and down?

Because i can for sure count more the times i missed a heavy punch for a few stairs/ramp when trying to punch.

[yo]

ahhh it works the same way as l4d... beautiful

[Notllamalord]

Punching in deadlock feels terrible it’s basically a gamble on if it connects

[leemurrison]

Reinhardt players: This is nothing new.

[SophisticatedHermit]

"Hit multiple enemies at once, hit round a corner, or miss at point blank because the target was one pixel to the side of the triangle's point."

This melee system *really* needs to change.

[CheersMate-]

Melee is way too op in this game imo.Unskilled people can get away with using it way too much
