Also these HP values do make a pretty big difference. A ranged DD with just 1 stack of heavy medal will imediately get one shot by a melee adrenaline rush, whereas every other class can survive it.

Melee LB is 8K right? one stack is 12%. So 8,960 damage (assuming the melee has the 3% damage up, but the ranged has the 3% damage down). So not a one shot, sure damn close, but not one shot.

If you're melee LBing someone at full HP you're playing pvp wrong, as well as the buff falls by the time anyone gets an LB.

There's actually a use for it at full HP, mind you it depends on the healer.

At lower HP you LB for the kill

at higher HP you LB for the healer to be distracted or split their heals.

A common practice I've made a habit of is to melee LB one target, then burst the other, since my burst is about as strong or stronger than the melee LB it works out. Dunno how other melee would fair though.(why is my burst more than an LB?)

But then you could say everyone is a one shot as long as they are below 8k HP, just saying that if a ranged is topped, they can live.

I am pretty sure I've been one shot with a single medal stack. I might however have perceived it wrong and took additional damage during it. I even remember my healer in that match going out of their way to message me about not taking medals because of that where I was counterarguing that nobody else was taking them and they would have expired.
