How to make bosses more engaging/Improve melee

[(PSN)CaptainIMalik]

Yes I am just repeating what a lot of people are saying but this is to remind DE on how to improve the melee in the game. There might as well be a melee mega thread if there is one

• To be able to cancel mid combat animation 
• To be able to lock on
• To be able to do back steps
• Remove any immunity phases (like 0 damage)
• Don't force players to use range weapons even if it is ideal
• Make the player use their reflexes and when to time dodge. Look at the Nameless King in Dark Souls 3. He can be a bit relentless and sometimes no breathing room yet still engaging. We don't need any cheap crowd control tactics from the enemy or one shot kills from them. Make it a man to man fight. Warrior to warrior. 
• If you're gonna do Ninja flips throughout the whole boss fight than punish the player for it if they do it for the entire match by the boss healing themselves while the Tenno wastes their time for like 30 seconds

I think blocking without channelling could also use a bit of a buff
