They never implemented melee in the first place.
Despite many threads on the topic and lots of discussion, the game is now in beta and still no word of melee.
So guess what?
NO MELEE.

[quote name='OverWolf][font=play' date=' helvetica, arial, sans-serif'] . . . you'd have to have a "wind-up" before the attack was thrown. Light mechs don't have this problem like Class B and Class C mechs do and already sprint around as if they're on butter in the hands of a good pilot as it is.[/font]
[font=play, helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Therefore, light mechs would be snapping out melee attacks, dancing around their Class B and Class C opponents whilst whittling down their health a lethal amount before they themselves could even unleash one blow let alone land it since you still have sidedashing to worry about.[/quote][/font]
[font=play, helvetica, arial, sans-serif]~my input[/font]
[font=play, helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I know you're looking for a dev response, but just thought I'd toss this here... Logically speaking, it simply can't work.[/font]

Shotgun (or the HEAT if you've got the aim) > Melee
Heavy close range damage, and a bit of range (or a lot if using HEAT) if you need it. It's way better.
Unless you want some sort of ridiculous heavy melee that could 2-3 shot B or C mechs. In that case I suggest you pull your head out of your bunny, because all that fuzz is clouding your judgement.

Running around with a chainsword like some robo-space marine beserker would be pretty fun. The fact that everyone else could shoot you seems like it'd balance it out, though. Concentrated weapons-fire seems to tear through light mechs pretty fast.
Would some sort of melee-only gamemode be viable for balancing it out?

What about a battle mode rocketeer carried around by an A-class. Someone needs to try that, it sounds like a walking can of whoop-fuzz.

I can imagine abusing the fuzzy bunny out of melee though using force fields. Throw field at enemy, slam into him. You either rocket us both together, get cut or both.

its a last ditch effort that will probably not work unless your opponent gets caught off guard by it or you are extremely skilled.
an example would be a kick, it would cause minor dmg but push a mech over at the same time the user would sustain hull dmg and get pushed back.

Or we could check our facts before we state them.

We've said in a number of interviews (and I think on these forums a few times too), melee is not planned at this time.
