L4D Melee Fix (Idea)

Get in the corner and Melee. An old but unfortunately effective tactic in L4D that drains a lot of fun out of it. With the new Survivor mode on the way, I'm afraid this could more or less be "Get in the corner mode until a Tank makes things interesting"

Here's my idea for a way to fix it, that is somewhat realistic

Meleeing a survivor a few times does nothing. However, repeatedly meleeing a survivor would begin to deal damage.

The only flaw I see with this is Boomer Bile. I consider getting in a corner in this situation to require a bit of work, since
1. You can't see
2. There are Zombies everywhere
3. You can't prepare for it
4. You may be separated (the explosion)

Perhaps when covered in Boomer Bile, you can't deal or receive Melee damage to and from survivors


Just an idea of mine. What do you guys think? Could it work? What tweaks could be made to the idea?

WHY WOULD YOU FUCKING HIDE IN THE CORNER AND RUIN YOUR OWN FUCKING FUN


smoker smoke needs to be a dot, end of discussion.

I don't understand what you're saying about the Smoke thing


The funarument.

1. Dying isn't fun
2. I have been kicked from games for not getting in the corner.

or they could just make it so you cant melee until like a second after you hit 'q'

How would that help?

you cant melee too fast so it would be harder to keep them all away

wtf does q have to do with anything

Yes, I don't understand how return to last weapon helps with getting in a corner and meleeing

quick switch melee?

I think there may be some confusion. I'm talking about all 4 survivors bunching up in a corner and holding M2. Q isn't involved at all
