I believe the reason they dropped Melle in the 3rd game is because they perfected it with kreig in the 2nd with his blood splattering the camarea the increased movement speed and the bloodstacks all encouraging painting momentum making it feel like your really going on a rampage plus 3 had more focus on trying to make their cast of hunters more unique instead of following the trend of "Melle, joke, and then 2 characters we can whatever with" instead they have an entirely unique cast with fl4k having an entirely exclusive pet mechanic and moze having a mech (I forget the names of the other 2 but one of them has clones wich is also pretty unique) I can't speak for the pre-sequle though as I've yet to play it. All that being said I'd love if they maybe made a Melle character with a big hammer? Brick's thing is lunging foward with devistating punches and kreige is ing momentum to chain together kills for a bloodbath so a character who's more focused on raw crushing blows like a halo gravity hammer could be fun, maybe let them spend a point early into a tree to unlock an attack similar to the slugger enemy type where they hit a grenade with their hammer to send it flying straight forward at foes to explode on and apply the grenade mod effects?
