I've actually experienced the first situation multiple times.

My karambit saved me. Not any Steyr M, because when that Digger is targeting you (and pops up very close to you), melee immunity and CC are better than bullets. You don't bring a Pocket SPAS-12 to one-shot the Digger.

Plus, if you can simply kill it with your primary, why do we need to buff our secondary weapons if your primary does everything better? Why would we need to bring a SPAS and a Steyr M when the better choice would be the Karambit? You don't need two guns; one will do. ps the Rambo doesn't take 200 eons to reach its target

Furthermore, when have actual players lined up like deranged rats so you could all kill them with a Barrett shot? No, players don't do that. You can simply stab the brute when it doesn't have the club; go for the Elemental with a firevest when you know it just Rebirthed; kill the Ticker quickly since you know it won't instantly explode; or just have a good team? Why don't you use your primary to go in first?

Also, why would the suggested buffs improve melees? Ice staff is still cow dung, because it's terrible compared to the Ice Gun. Why aren't you going to improve the viability of the Ice Staff over the Ice Gun if the proposed idea is to make melees more viable? You waste 20+ stamina a single swing.
