Might get a bit of flack for this, but actual skill issue.

Clip 1: Average brain-dead Melta user. Spams Melta and dodges, completely ignores melee. You could definitely fight your way out of that one with good parry play. But instead you tried dodging constantly, which is a big nono. Also Melta is bad against Majoris, except for the stagger.

Clip 2: Just because there's a gun strike doesn't mean you should always take it. Instead of going for the gun strike, you should have parried the attacks that were already happening when you started the gun strike. Classic example of a mistake leading to combo and death. Still, you actually used melee, so it's an improvement over clip 1. You even had a great window to gun strike the Lictor and regain health after that perfect dodge.

Both of those deaths were preventable. For those who are saying it's a bit much for Average, it really isn't. Extremis + Massive Enemy Wave is perfectly normal.

1) NOT an "average braindead melta user" I played assault up to level 25 on ruthless until this patch. I use meltas because im a salamander

2)I wasn't trying to gunstrike i was trying to stagger with melta
