that makes perfect sense (Destiny)

The problem it that the Raid itself is filled with so many player-wipe bugs that it's ridiculous. You can be detained WHILE JUMPING, CAUSING YOU TO FALL THROUGH THE SPHERE AND DIE.

You should know better than to be in the air when a Detain shield is about to grab you. The timing is entirely predictable. Is the Templar about to lose his shield? Is Atheon about to teleport people? DON'T be in the air.

That seems intentional to me. It requires that the team communicate when they are going to drop the Templar's shields.

Yeah, the shield holder should always communicate when he's about to pop the shields, this being a key reason.

the shield detains you and prevents you from moving, except when you are in the air?

It weighs you down, it doesn't hold you in place. You can't jump high, you can't move fast, and you drop like a rock. It encapsulates you in a field of super high gravity, so of course you can drop out of it and get killed.

Rice might think of anything he doesn't understand as a bug, or a sign that Bungie hates him, but it's entirely explainable and completely intentional.
