Ok but here's some food for thought

It won't matter

Here's Why:
Melee requires a lot of stamina. No matter how fast you can melee you may only make two or three before pooping out. You might have to also make an inverse stamina thing.

Oh sorry, that was the assumption that you never have full stamina because as a scout I am always jumping and sprinting and stuff.

I'd be O.K. with a recovery delay after melee'ing, but the initial strike should be the same speed.

As of now, it seems that all suits can melee at the same speed (of course, the recently popular melee glitch is a different issue). However, the damage done by each suit is different, with larger frames doing more damage per hit. This in itself is not very bad, as it would make sense that the larger fist would pack a bigger punch (pun intended).

I propose that melee rate is scaled inversely to melee damage, i.e. Scouts can melee quickly, peppering their opponent with many light blows and dodging around, whilst Heavies punch with a much greater, albeit less frequent, hit. This would help to balance out melee across all classes, in addition to slightly buffing Scouts.

Of course, this is a non-factor until they fix the Turbo Melee.

I recall having this conversation with you when we were in a squad, Dominus... I have this idea copyrighted. Expect a call from my lawyer before the end of the day.

any ways i think id say the quick and easy solution to deal with the melee player is to use a shotgun.

Still want.
