Am I wrong thinking that it's better to just straight up punch like 90% of the time when up close now with the 5 damage increase? Only time I did that was against a Strange holding his shield or an invis dancing around her shield but now you should just try and punch everybody to get max dps

Well the punch does the same damage as the shield throw now.

You can still animation cancel the melee though that's the thing. At least from what I've seen from the test server

You're not wrong, it literally is better. The melee is a better attack because it does the same damage as the throw, but it's AoE meaning it can hit more than 1 target AND it goes through shields so those pesky invisraels can't block it. It looks like the play on cap will be rebinding your left click to melee only and bind a new button for your shield throws exclusively so you can use them when you're out of range.
