Melee

Melee attacks are attacks that take effect only within a short range of the hero, generally within arms' reach. Melee attacks pierce barriers and affects all enemies in range.

Quick Melee
Quick melee does 30 damage, is active for 0.5 seconds, and has a range of 2.5 meters, and has a cooldown of 1 second. This cooldown starts as soon as the attack is used and is not affected by the melee being interrupted.

Quick melee is available to all heroes, except Reinhardt and Brigitte who have their own melee attacks. Additionally, Torbjörn is unable to perform a quick melee while he has his Forge Hammer equipped, but he can when he has his Rivet Gun equipped. Similarly, Genji and Winston will be unable to perform a quick melee while using Dragonblade and Primal Rage, respectively, but can use quick melee otherwise. For the above heroes, attempting to use quick melee will yield no result, with exception to Brigitte, who will use her Rocket Flail.
