This is SO Infuriating

Smite, by the definitions of the dictionary would be melee, but not for most PvP purposes, as it is unblockable and requires no attack roll (2 qualities that make it similar to spells).

They hate FoH and Smite because they don't bother to find a way to counter them, they'd rather bitch and not duel you. I tell them too bad, unless it's a 'Melee Duel' game, in which I will only duel people who want to.

I'll ask you what i ask everyone that tells me smite is not melee. If smite is not melee, then what is it?

Think of it as a skill like 'Inferno'. Inferno is unblockable, has a very short range, and requires no attack roll.

Same with Charged Strike. They're kind of Hybrid skills.

Iunno, but I wanna know why WW is never considered melee -.- .

Melee is typically interpreted as standing toe-to-toe hacking away at each other.

Smite relies on IAS which is a quality that makes it more similar to melee than a spell, and it's also a hand-to-hand style of fighting. But sure i'll think of smite as a "hybrid" skill.

And smite is also "standing toe-to-toe hacking away at each other".

Yeah, but IAS is just like FCR. Just for different things.....

IAS = Increase "Attack" speed = MELEE
FCR = Faster "Cast" rate = long range or spell casting or anything along those lines.

But it's the same thing. Just different names. A spell is still an attack.

Am I sounding crazy? I got really hammered last night and I think I still might not be thinking straight.

You're not thinking straight

I'm still trying to make my point that smite is a form of melee.

Right, but it still requires no attack roll and cannot be blocked, making it like a spell. Also, the knockback and stun is not looked upon favorably either.

Then should Berserk be considered melee? It deals magic damage. Sure smite doesn't requires attack roll nor can be blocked but it needs IAS and spells needs FCR.

IAS = Increase "Attack" speed = MELEE FCR = Faster "Cast" rate = long range or spell casting or anything along those lines.

Ext you getting pwn here, also if you said IAS = melee, bow = pwn pwn pwn?
Now we got IAS out of the way what else you can prove smite is melee? Hand to Hand? right, do you consider lighting zon to be melee? they are hand to hand, but they don't need Ar, nor blocking will work on them. After all these discusion, we prove that smite != Melee.

Anyway about high rune poof, if there never dupe, you will never get the high rune at the first place, now I learn that ladder is all nub and pussy, after the ladder reset i will stay at non ladder cuz it ownz, and there are actually palapk!

we prove that smite != Melee.

Are you trying to say that smite is melee or smite is not melee?

Do you need me to teach you how to type correctly? Because I don't think "own" is typed "pwn".

And smite is also "standing toe-to-toe hacking away at each other".

Right, but it still requires no attack roll and cannot be blocked, making it like a spell.

Also, the knockback and stun is not looked upon favorably either.
