Max Stat Melee Doesn't 2h a Gold Shield
Explain this one:
100 melee stat, two heavy melees too close together for the guy to have healed, no chance for him to break my shield and get any kind of repair off of it.
Why does he not die here, exactly? I'm well past the breakpoint, and 2h has been a guaranteed kill on purple and gold even after the melee nerf.

Hello there,
Thank you very much for reaching out to us and for the detailed report. I'm sorry to hear that you had some issues with the melee damage. Reviewing the video, while it's possible that the second Heavy Melee may have missed the player, we've taken note of this thread in the event anything has gone awry.
It is difficult to see at the default 360p res, but viewing the video at higher res shows two hit markers for the target.
First marker, from the melee attack that cracks his shield.
Second marker, colored differently for clarity, which follows the second melee attack.
I can post a longer video, but I don't have a flechette or anything else in play that would produce a second hit marker except for a claymore, which very obviously does NOT explode as I'm standing close to it and it would be noticeable even over my friend's voice.
Best case scenario, cracking gold shields is inexplicably producing double hit markers. Middling scenario, even melees that get eaten by hitreg now display hit markers. Worst case scenario, gold shields are now adding extra health on that requires a third follow-up attack.
Including a new incident from today with even more clarity and less ambiguity.

I ambush this (undamaged) Assassin, and land a heavy melee on him, which breaks his shields and activates the passive cloak effect
My follow-up heavy melee lands after the cloak has activated and clearly registers:
It isn't until my third heavy melee that he finally gets downed:
But I have 100 melee, which is well past the threshold to be able to two-tap someone at the gold/purple shield level
so something is clearly wrong.
