There for awhile the increase of the melting down powers have beenon the up swing slowly bumping the hated chainsaw.

Now there a new trend...more and more holds and getting gutted by swords
I have toons dropping like flys with over half life left.

So let me be first to say after this next patch....melee will need nerfed or range will need buffed,,,no joke here

Bleh, just pick up teleport and use it the second they 'lock you down'. Problem solved. It's what I've been doing up until now, and nothing they've added stops that from working in the least.

And that goes for any type of opponent, not just melee. The second you can't move effectively, just teleport away and wait until all the snares and debuffs wear off.

Perhaps you've been noticing being held more, but being held is hardly a new trend, it happens roughly a zillion times per match in T3 and T4.

Can't teleport if you're under travel power removal (added as an advantage to all the melee lunges), held, knocked down, or disabled. Some fraction of opponents will also be able to hit you while teleported, though this is more common in higher tiers.

No it's not. Just keep mashing teleport. If it's up for even a moment (and it will be within 5 seconds at worst) you're gone.

And people being able to target you in teleport means bupkis unless you're a moron and don't move once you're in teleport. You can move at full speed as soon as you phase, so if you've got a brain, use it to zip around a corner while Mr. I-Can-See-You gets to trod along after at in combat speeds.

I've never had issues teleporting away, not even in T4 BASH.

So my perception that more and more rooms are trending to melee sword attacks like blade breach and such is just me being confused.....

Did anyone read the trend part of my open?

ive been noticing a trend too... everyone wants the power that is killling them nerfed and use the "devs nerf this" as an "I win" button. Just a pattern ive been noticing.

Imo nerf nothing buff str and might. K thx!

So yet try this in crayon.

What trends have been noticing?
