The melee system does need tweaks, but all in all it's pretty good. If you spent some time on it, especially with teleporting, you WILL get better. When you get better, you will start to like it, trust me.
BTW Zilea(the starter of this thread), I am the same Abe Froman that you and Kronik and Jacutu(or whatever his name was) triple teamed. Yeah, the same Abe who beat you all into the ground regardless. Here's a tip; don't complain about me using only melee if you are going to 3 v 1 me. Those kind of odds and actions do not reflect positively on your credibility.
For everyone else, here was the scenario; I join a server where the goons mentioned above were 3v1 on another guy, so I joined the 1 team. The other guy left leaving me alone vs 3 people, and I still was winning. Zilea kept complaining about my "over use" of melee, so which I complained about his "over use" of triple teaming. He said he didn't care, so I just kept on meleeing.
EDIT: OMFG I just read the rest of your post Zilea, you do NOT own the entire server man. You can't even beat me, even when you block spam. I kept pounding your block and killed you without even getting a successful hit, you never hit me once. That is about the farthest thing from "owning" there is. Maybe you can say you "owned" my time, effort, etc. If you can't even beat me, you have no idea what is in store for you if you fight against the {ssj3} or {ssj4} people in my clan(I am only {ssj2}), or against one of the APE guys, the beating you suffered at my hands will be a sweet memory compared to the brutal rape they will inflict on you.
Don't give up on this game, or melee, just because there are people better than you. When I first started, melee was frustrating and annoying, but I stuck with it, got better, and now I can hold my own with the majority of ESF players out there. If you stick with it, you will be able to also.
