[b][u]You can no longer pick up the Throwing Hammer until it hits the floor.[/b][/u]
Previously the hammer had a generous area where it would return to you immediately after throwing it at a point-blank enemy. That effect is now gone. The hammer will pass straight through you or in a random direction on every throw, and you need to go look for it and pick it back up. (I've been playing Solar Titan the past 3 days so the difference is immediately obvious)
To be clear, [b]this is entirely separate from the new Melee stat changes[/b] where your melee energy refunded on pickup scales with your stat. I'm aware that you need at least 70 melee to fully regain the melee charge on pickup - that's not what this bug is referring to. You [b]cannot pick up the hammer anymore in the first place until after it hits the floor[/b] making close-range usage extremely frustrating and difficult.
I've attached a clip to showcase this, using a Titan with 102 Melee stat.
