Regarding Ranked, should melee only decide who gets to go on Defense/Offense first?

Would be funny until you realize that teams are going to start holding melee practice in order to secure their favorable side.

The lolz.

Maybe Phantom gonna get a little more viable in comp lol.

How about a nice minigame of rock paper siscors between two random team-mates. Better than everyone rolling around with phantoms.

Does it really even matter? at all?

I would be 100% game for coming up with melee strats to secure the pick. In a legit knife fight where both parties have to use a melee only there is some legit moves you can do to secure a victory. A long while back on a stream I went through 10 straight people in consecutive 1v1 knife fights before finally losing out. Strafing cricket bat strats with long jumps are legit. It’s most definitely not RNG.

Thing is that it will be kind of unbalanced since the bat is obviously the best melee to kill people with it’s long range and damage. Katana also. If they do that maybe every player should be spawned as a certain merc with Stiletto (Since it is the most skilled based knife).

Sound like the best idea to be put into this game!!! There are not enough people willing to go melee only for whole match. Recently I joined a match on an Asian server and everyone, EVERYONE was joining in. It was hilarious. Sadly my game froze and I couldn’t join again once I restarted DB. Everyone was having fun without me ;(

And yet a number of people here like it, and yet it’s been used before in other games to decide who goes first. So…yea

It’s like the difference between a coin toss or Rock, Paper, Scissors. Some people are ok with a coin toss but others may prefer a little less luck and a lot more engagement or action. Hence why the whole melee to decide who attacks first has been used before in other games.

If you don’t like it, then offer up your own solution instead of shooting it down or reverting to insults.

Because honestly that’s not remotely decent discussion, it’s just trying to make the other person look bad for even trying to suggest something in, surprise, a forum.

You started the fight with your stupid meme

And he started it by saying something completely idiotic, so if he can’t handle a little bit of joking thrown at him when he deems it fit to bash people on here, which he has in the past, then I find that a tad bit hypocritical.

[quote=“Ctrix;134995”]Are you honestly stupid? Melee only is a mess. You’re about as likely as dying to luck as you are to anything else. Even if you could get a perfect order of skill = time alive (don’t make me fucking laugh), how is this an improvement over any method that attempts to use MMR if that method were to work perfectly?

It’s a giant waste of time is what it is. It’s a fucking stupid idea, and you should feel stupid for suggesting it unironically.[/quote]

Look man your on the wrong side of the fence. Melee only would make competitive tons more fun even if just for a few seconds. You need to be helpful on the forums not an ass clown. :wink:
