I have been playing only a few matches of Ranked Snipers and I’ve noticed that before the match it says marksmanship. Yet half the deaths I have are from melees. I wish they disabled the melee because it kinda broken.
I find Team Snipers to be utter rubbish in Halo 5: Guardians. The arena maps are way too small so you either end up melee-ing players, as you said, or you are jumping about trying to snapshot the other team which ultimately defeats the purpose of the sniper rifle. Whatever happened to the days of Standoff, Avalanche, Blood Gulch, and Valhalla?
I think up close it’s much easier to just melee someone than trying to snipe them. I don’t think disabling melee is the answer to that problem though.
Some bigger maps would be cool, keep some range and snipe people, I think snipers in Reach did a decent job for maps
The maps are the issue. They are way too small for a 4v4 snipers playlist. Why 343 didn’t add new maps are even grab the BTB maps is beyond me.
Abilities should be disabled and melees shouldn’t be counted as kills. In every match there’s always one or two jackoffs running around using charge, ground pound, and trying for double melees. Not only are these players annoying but they’re hindering their own ability to get better at sniping. In other words, only unintelligent people go for melees or use abilities in snipers when the purpose is to get better with the sniper when it matters in regular matches. Being a tryhard and getting cheap wins isn’t going to matter when you’re fighting 4 champions in a party anyway. You’re eventually going to hit a wall. And yes I’ve seen champions play like this too. It’s ridiculous.

I’ve never seen someone ONLY use the melee features in a game of ranked snipers, but melee comes in handy when you can put a camper in his place by assisnating him and then bagging him
You have a weapon capable of killing one or more targets in a single shot, if someone is capable of getting the jump on you and pummeling you that’s your own fault.

Someone dropped the Mac blast lol. But for the record it is hard when you are outnumbered and reloading.

Learn how to snapshot then beat down then if you learn you could be hitting most of your snapshots when someone is close to you stopping them from punching you.
The problem isn’t melee as much its just that teams aren’t separated enough and don’t have enough distance between them so that the average player can realistically hit sniper shots in every engagement.

You’re eventually going to hit a wall where you’re against players that can snipe or no scope you no matter how you’re coming at them. You’re preventing yourself from getting better at the game by going for melees.

This post would have some merit if this we’re talking about CE where melee lunge and abilities aren’t present. But in Halo 5 you have twice as much lunge as Halo 3 with crutch mechanics like charge to reward below average players for bad positioning. Maybe we should have grenades too. Or give everyone a dmr.

Idk what you’re talking about I said I only use melee to assinate people who are camping for example I like to creep on the people who camp window on plaza and back smack them
