lol, haven't cehck this in a while and all I see is hate, lets see

- didn't know it was a popularity contest, and here I was convinced this was an enlightened community and it was just a series of flukes that most of the notorious players were idiots. PS: there are entire melee classes that are garbage, like claws, machetes, fists, etc. No riven will help them, maybe melee 3.0 will

- someone is biased, I gave a series of reasons why it was so good, and you call it decent. Sure, Nikanas have some advantages as a class over Heavy Blades, like better hitbooxes and the ability to use quick melee without slowing down. But is not about that, is about balance. Gram Prime has power, lots of it, and what about it, dmg is just part of what makes a weapon good, when it comes to combos you basically have slams vs aoe finishers, the stronger the enemy the most obvious the difference about which one is better. There is also this annoying thing about Heavy blades rgarding aerial attacks to gain momentum, you can't, in contrast, staves, polearms and nikanas let you fly, is not even close to coptering, but it helps with some jumps and to transverse maps faster. Don't missunderstand me, Gram is great, objectively better than any Nikana, but is not all-mighty, the class have some problems that other classes don't.

But this is all pointless, in the end melees are simply decorations, fashion frame stuff, even the strongest melee is useless for anything other than QM and melee only sorties.
