Since Melee is one of Deadlock's most unique mechanics, keeping Melee builds viable is much more fun than hard nerfing them. Some different ways to keep this balanced are to add Melee items to build that require soul investment (and potentially nerf other aspects of their kit).
This item would significantly nerf the heroes gun in order to buff their melee damage. It also would allow for Debuff Resistance to help with parry stun, but would require investing into further items for % Debuff Resistance.
Obviously the specific numbers could be tweaked, it could even nerf Spirit Damage as well. But something that requires item investment but keeps melee as a viable build path would be fun.
