Mechanic discussion: meld

Just looking to get some thoughts on meld. In Maro post today, he said that meld was a huge hit, and being completely honest, I thought that was the most surprising part of his post.

Personally, I found meld sort of... lame? I really don't know what word I want to use. Like I saw it and immediately went, "meh".

From a flavor/lore perspective, it made sense, but that was all it had going for it.

Playing with it even felt worse, but that was more of an implementation issue than a design issue.

Curious to get your thoughts on it Reddit.
