Making melee weapons more distinct

[-FV-Metheria]

Currently, most melee weapons are mostly reskins with different stats. Press E as quick as you can, essentially. Why not add sweetspots and/or sourspots to melee? What I mean is that, imagine the Tonbo. You'd deal only half damage if you hit the enemy with the handle part, but 1.5 damage if you got them with the blade. You'd need to be just a bit more mindful of the weapon specifically, and be rewarded for doing so.

Metheria making decent threads? What would velour think of you right now? But in all seriousness I think it would work.

Certainly not a bad idea.

Hmm this would be interesting, but this may leave sword type weapons such as Nikanas, galatine, etc, more effective than say hammers or scindo (even more than they already are)
