Yeah Mistlands really shewn a light on the games problems, and this is at the top of the list (or second, depending on how you feel about stamina). What's even worse is the ants seem designed to hit you no matter what elevation difference they're at, when you're always missing, they're still stabbing you.

They really need to stop with the content updates and focus on a QoL and combat overhaul one, they said they MIGHT do that at the end but tbh they need to do that sooner rather than later, everyones getting fed up with these issues, it's obvious in development janky combat so why not fix it? The very prospect that they might not is what irks me.
