seriously i keep trying to aim at an enemy and it keeps making me fly in every direction EXCEPT AT THE ENEMY. Like as Kromerc I aim at a guy and it makes me go flying off to the left or right or BACKWARDS FOR SOME REASON, but it barely ever lets me actually aim at the enemy TO HIT THEM. it wasn't this bad in ME3MP.

Yup, works fine. You need to aim better.

It's a real love/hate relationship between melee and me right now.

But, to be honest, the hit-to-total-whiff ratio is about the same as it was for me with the mighty Krogan pimp backhand in ME3MP. If I had a penny for every time I had a great RAWR! wind-up only to smack the air just to the right of that geth trooper or Marauder Shields or Cerberus soldier, I could have retired from my shitty day job a loooooooooong time ago.

Works mostly fine for me. Problematic in games where moving is laggy (those I leave anyway).

I have had an issue of charging in and then not being able to melee attack for like 3-4 seconds (nothing happens at all, so not just attacking wrong direction). Since I picked the shield regen on hitting this is even worse than the enemy not dying after I jump in. Half the time it happens I just straight up die since I don't have the shields I expected and the enemy counters me.

this seemed to be the issue. I barely play psn online anymore because past few weeks it suddenly lags like crazy when I never had lag before in anything.

The aim is terrible. My character sort of lunges forward and keeps moving after a melee. Apparently there is no basic training at all for these characters. Standing still while doing melee attack seems sort of level 1 but nope. I think my soldier's melee improved when I put some points into one of the abilies that had it. His attacks look far more decisive now rather than a lunging frantic idiot.

There's zero tracking for most melees. What that means is that most of them will just hit straight ahead in whatever direction your character is facing when you hit the button. This wouldn't necessarily be a problem if the default melee for most classes was a horizontal or even diagonal swipe, since you would be able to cover more area around your character even if it didn't track the enemy, but instead most characters just have a straight stab or punch. The only exceptions I'm aware of are the sword-wielding kits, which re-use the animations from the N7 Slayer and N7 Shadow.

If I could go back to my first few Bronze matches, I would tell myself to not bother firing the pea shooters I have been equipped with, but to instead run around and punch everything to death. It would have been way WAY quicker

Tried to punch a stealthed enemy right in front of me today, which usually works. Character instead turned around and tried to hit an enemy that was ~50 feet away and in cover. :flip:

The only problem I've had is the "melee advance": I melee something, and then move past it. Sometimes, it's not dead.

The solution to this is to always jet upwards before a melee. Much better to mini-Nova instead of melee.
