    Yeah. Warlock melee needs a nerf too. Throwing knife has almost 100% aim assist, and it literally bends to hit a head. Not nerfing the damage, and taking aim assist away would be the better option. It would actually take skill to aim it then

  • It doesn't have aim assist lol. Every melee besides throwing knife will automatically turn you 45° in either direction, locking you onto the target for a hit. Throwing Knife is the only melee that requires leading on a target. Anyone that killed you with one outside of Thunderstrike range is probably a very skilled player.

  • Throwing knife has zero aim assist but it does have a large(ish) hit box Don't believe me Try to head shot dregs at medium range with it Only really reliable in close spaces when someone is rushing you straight on

  • I don't believe you. Half my knives whiz by dregs. I'm also rusty with them.

  • That's my point At medium to long ranges knives have little chance to hit Hence having no aim assist Up close the larger hit box is more noticeable

    If you try to hit someone with it at long range, you're just dumb.

  • Long range is relative If you're trying to get reliable hits in pulse/scout rifle range then yes It's not the best decision [u]however[/u] You can reliably get them in hand cannon ranges Either way They don't have high aim assist and require more skill to use than any other class melee

  • I meant from a modest range. Like I said I'm rusty with them. Hadn't played with it for a whole year upwards.

  • The hit box being large. Maybe I'm just that bad at throwing knives and need to practice.
