[Zakti shouldn't cause your Warframe to flinch]

Zakti's niche effect of opening up an enemy to a finisher is terribly ruined due to the knock back effect to your Warframe.

Basically if you shoot an enemy and run up to perform a finisher on them you instead get knock back or down instead. Or you can shoot the enemy, wait a split second to not be flinched, but now you missed the opportunity to perform the finisher. 

And what's great is if you do end up performing a finisher, you finish the animation not being able to reload, switch weapons, or melee, and you have to mash random buttons to break out of this. The Zakti is near unplayable now since the only useful effects are now worthless.

Ooooof

[Hold melee to heavy attack option]

I humbly understand why they removed it, you can easily waste your entire combo because your attack speed was too high. I hope they bring it back as an option in the menu one day. It feels so off trying to time my gun blades attacks perfectly so I don't end up standing there for a second like a dummy because I pressed the heavy attack too soon.

Why timing is so important for my gun blades, is because I use Nidus' spaghetti ball, (make sure you use High Noon stance and stand still) then I hold the melee button to first burst fire two light attacks with my Sarpa, and it automatically ends with a heavy attack. Essentially giving you a 3 attack combo with a single press of a single button. And usually you can get up to 3 separate sets of these combos by the time you noodle ball drop your enemies.

If you run max efficiency you can build up combo faster than you expend it, and get a permanent 7-9 combo counter while spamming heavy attacks every second. It's even better if you realize that the two light attacks build up status effects then you finish with a beefy CO heavy attack.

To be fair, I think I am one of the few that have this specific play style and build, but I just hope that I can have my old wombo combo back.

 

[Hold melee to heavy attack option]

I know I'm one of the few people that likes to hold the melee button to heavy attack, but I can't find an option to turn it on again. I thought there was an option for this a few patches back, and I'm really sad that they removed it if there was one. I enjoy using the shoot button for meleeing and I'm happy you guys made it an option. I'm a console player, so buttons are limited when it comes to fluently playing this game, and I feel that having the option to hold the melee button to heavy attack made it easier to combo light and heavy attacks together. It feels clunky to me now because I have to spam two different buttons since I mainly use gun blades. Before this Change, when you held the melee button with gun blades, you would light attack first then finish with a heavy attack right after. This was very fluent, and very nice for my play style and since this change I honestly don't feel like playing this game.

I understand most people don't like this, however I think if there was just an option to turn it on or off would suffice this issue on both sides.

I really appreciate the time you guys put into Warframe, and it is truly my favorite game. Have a nice day and be safe out there!
