Melee Pressure Concepts

Melee pressure can mean many things: execute threat, sustained pressure, disruption, frontline punishment, or follow-up after enemy cooldowns.

What to watch

  • commit timing
  • escape path
  • enemy counter-engage
  • allied support range
  • whether the melee player is adding value or just feeding escalation

Core lesson

Melee pressure should make the enemy uncomfortable over time without donating free deaths. Judge it by pressure created, cooldowns forced, healer strain, and whether the player can exit or be supported.
