People act like the beam blade is some undefeatable thing. You only have like 12% mobility. Jumping leaves you almost entirely exposed when using that to close the distance. It's only effective at like 3 feet. Yes it's probably the most powerful melee, but I think I've died to it in a fight like twice. Yet i can't tell you how many people blindly rush me and die for it. Literally, the only time you actually die from a beam sword is it's your own fault or in a dead-end hallway/room.
But instead of learning to play around things people just want the option to walk up to a guy holding a melee weapon spraying holding down mouse one with no consequences.
That video there really highlights how you have to do the playstyle to even be somewhat effective with the beam blade. Attacking someone from complete unaware, constantly trying to push someone into the corner and failing whilst maneuvering yourself around a corner whilst despterately blocking and try to goad people into following you. If any person in that situation instead of trying to rush me instead stood outside the door I would have died. If you die from the beam blade and it isn't someone stabbing in your back it's entirely your fault.
