Melee vs. Range

Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2007 2:28 am

This has been a question that i've been thinking about for some time. What kind of hero would you prefer? Melee or Range?

Melee:
- Instant hit that hits directly on an enemy regardless of elevation
- Better Bashing
- Accurate Denying
But..
- Open to ranged attacks
- Can only get a few hits in on towers.

Range:
- Safe from harm
- Better to Harass
- Safe from Tower to attack constantly
But...
- Hard to deny depending on projectile speed
- Misses on enemies at higher elevations...

Which type of hero would you prefer overall? Melee or Range?

*That Excludes Terrorblade and Jah'rakal*

Being melee is much more fun. Especially when your full grown Tiny and the ranged hero your charging at runs like a little girl. Good times.

I prefer melee because i find ranged too easy and actually, at times, boring. You have to do the melee dance and harassing the enemies is more fun but it can be a bit annoying :P

I'm rather fond of ranged heroes. Indeed, melee heroes are fun to use but tactics-wise, ranged heroes are at an advantage.

<- Tactics person

There are exceptions, of course.

Can't decide, I really don't prefer one above the other.

haha....


why not melee heroes that can turn to ranged:

davion [with elder form - changes into a dragon! rawr!
terrorblade [with metamorphosis - from demonhunter into a demon!]


or ranged that can become melee:

syllabear [with true form - teddy :p]
tinker [with avatar(bkb) - now thats the real TANK! :p]
