Twitch user SoniiWhat is Melee LeewayHere is a video from 2016as shown in this Twitch Clip by Perplexitywhich Blizzard says is working as intendedKaivax made a Blue Post

I’ve updated the original post in this thread with:

“Melee leeway” is working as intended.

After careful study and testing, we’ve found that for players with low latency, the state of melee leeway is how they would have experienced the game in 2006.

There are more people with low latency now than there were in 2006, so we expect for some it might feel different, but it is working as expected.

Blizzard already removed 400 millisecond Spell Batching

Comment by dlbert2000is it time they remove Melee Leeway for Burning Crusade as well? Comment by ConsumerismThey already said tBC will be #SomeChanges so my guess is this Leeway will go awayComment by MuherusYikesComment by Astralaria1225Since we are on this, get rid of 20 yard nameplate range and make it like 40 or 60 please.Comment by RokmanSince we are on this, get rid of 20 yard nameplate range and make it like 40 or 60 please.Comment by Daeveren"Blizzard already removed 400 millisecond Spell Batching" - no it hasn't yet, it's sitting on PTR for months, unknown why.Comment by hotaru251 #NoChangesComment by Rokman"Blizzard already removed 400 millisecond Spell Batching" - no it hasn't yet, it's sitting on PTR for months, unknown why.https://tbc.wowhead.com/news/wow-classic-version-1-13-7-ptr-is-now-available-320552Comment by Villager720It’s Outland - not Outlands, the Outlands, or the Outland.Comment by ikechiWill probably be gone, or at least reduced. Doesn't seem like Blizzard intends on keeping old mechanics caused by technical limitations, though as far as I'm aware, recent builds (post-MoP) increased movement lag greatly (it takes about 1 second to see your movement in another window with 50ms ping) - so quite not sure what to think about that.Comment by RokmanIt’s Outland - not Outlands, the Outlands, or the Outland.Comment by InappropriateThere is melee leeway in Shadowlands, it is just not this bad in general and Taurens make it a lot worse.Comment by couchpotato2013Since we are on this, get rid of 20 yard nameplate range and make it like 40 or 60 please.Comment by Daeveren"Blizzard already removed 400 millisecond Spell Batching" - no it hasn't yet, it's sitting on PTR for months, unknown why.https://tbc.wowhead.com/news/wow-classic-version-1-13-7-ptr-is-now-available-320552Comment by Xallhttps://youtu.be/xvM6pSYGj-A?t=950

cow leeway in the game back in the day

orcs resisting stun even though other players used stuns on them. Humans finding stealthies even though other players are stealthed. Gnomes getting out of immobilize even though players used such abilities on them. Undead getting out of charms and fears even though players used charms and fears on them. Night elves drinking even though they are stealthed. Taurens hitting through pillars even though the other player is abusing pillar humping.
WARLOCKS MANA DRAINING THROUGH WALLS

You do not want pillar humping resto druids running in cheetah so you can't catch them and doing it with continuous hots running on everyone. I was there, not fun.

working as intended and it works just fine.Comment by suowiq"Blizzard already removed 400 millisecond Spell Batching" - no it hasn't yet, it's sitting on PTR for months, unknown why.https://tbc.wowhead.com/news/wow-classic-version-1-13-7-ptr-is-now-available-320552Comment by XfadeSince we are on this, get rid of 20 yard nameplate range and make it like 40 or 60 please.Comment by NahelaTauren and male Draenei hitboxes are large enough to stand out of range of some melee mechanics due to how they work. Part of why this was unified shortly after BCComment by nishav101822Not sure if leeway will go away this time because melee are already going to be complaining about PVE content being unfriendly to them. Add taking away leeway on a fight like Archimonde and it'll sound like a 747 taking off.

Blizzard has shown a willingness in recent years to make separate rules for PVP vs PVE so it's possible we could see it go away.Comment by Cannonlake#$%^ this leeway really, when you are running from a melee as a hunter they are %^&*ing shooting you at 15 fcking yard man
