Pocket Melee Bug with shooting gun right after

[apjustagamer]

No game ID is necessary as this occurs consistently in all games. Although it might be an intended interaction, it just feels bad.

Description: If you melee as Pocket, after the animation is done, sometimes Pocket cannot shot while spamming the shot button. See video:

In the video, I show you how I click the melee button and spam the mouse button for shooting. As you can see, sometimes would not shot, and sometimes it will instantly shoot as expected. In my opinion, the reason feels like during the melee animation if you are spamming the shot button just at the right time, it makes so you cannot shot because you are still in the melee animation BUT, due to the timing, the cooldown of the fire rate goes into action. Probably.

Did not test on other characters as I was tilted because I lost the 1v1 due to this

- AP

Also happens to shiv but is much worse because his fire rate is even slower on his right click. This actually makes shotguns worse for melee characters but all melee characters have shotguns.

I just tested this, it's not a bug but intended feature.

What I know is that shooting goes on internal cooldown if you perform certain actions, which is indicated by the ammo counter disappearing during the cooldown.

So if you see, when I melee, the ammo counter disappears. This means you're unable to shoot. It's also affected by jumping and dashing.


I would melee and then mash m1, and was able to shoot right when the ammo counter appeared again.
