You can already meleespam the hunter off without ever getting incapacitated.

The survivors already have just shy of a billion things in their favor...let's add another? This isn't a console button masher where you can rattle out a killer combo and get away...the fact that you can easily save yourself from a Smoker as it is is why the Smoker sucks.

Survivors often are clumped together (as they should be), so often times a hunter could very well be facing 4 guns. Many pounces can simply be shot down. Advantage 1.

If you haven't been here long, most people believe melee should be modified in some way, shape, or form. The melee spam that is abound currently forms a shield...often a 360 shield in my experience (got 'Ass bashed' more than once...lol), so the fact that you GET POUNCED is a testament to the hunters skill often times. Advantage 2.

Not only that, but it does take just a mere bash to get one off...there's no real resistance from the Hunter as one would expect there to be. Nope...he just stumbles off and generally gets bashed to death promptly. Advantage 3.

This IS a COOP game, so you should have to rely on your teammates, and that's what makes this one of the best games I've ever played. No other COOP game slaps down the rambos and the solo'ers faster than this one. To add some sort of super slick button mash to get out is ridiculous. The combo would have to be the following to even get an eyebrow raise from myself:

F8 + Scroll Lock and B + p + Capital Q (no lowercase Q wont work) + = + Page Up + Esc (bringing up the L4D menu) + Esc (Removes the menu) + Rclick 3x

Of course, it's random, so it could be any set of keys (To include Alt+F4), so the above is just one example.

As I mentioned in another thread, I think just the opposite of this idea. There should be a stamina bar to limit melee spam, and if you've "tuckered" yourself out, you'll take increased damage, assuming LESS ability to resist. W00T for hunters. lol.

You are correct, in RL there would be a chance to get this crazed dude off you, but in this game, it would turn the already mighty survivors into gods. Just a balance issue.
