TWaB and Deej (Destiny)

In a game ruled by magic and exotic weaponry, there is still a seat at the table for a good, old-fashioned, bare-knuckled attack. Isn’t that right, Titans?

Maybe it's because I'm a Titan and maybe it's because Titan's have the worst melee. Maybe it's because Deej actually believes that Titan's have the best melee (as a warlock no less). Either way, every time Deej says something like this it makes me seethe a little bit...

I dunno, I find that Titans do have a few significant melee perks that the other classes don't.

Shoulder charge is a melee "perk" in that you can melee immediately after a shoulder charge, so if the charge doesn't kill the enemy, you've not only weakened them, you've closed ground extremely fast, putting the enemy in a vulnerable position faster than they expected it. Defender melee? You can get a recharging overshield (as opposed to the nerfed Warlock overshield). Sunbreaker melees make people vulnerable to a few shots (or simply cook them to death).

Plus, all Titans got a decent melee lunge with the Titan tweaks.

The only problem that I have with Titan melees is that it takes me a while to get used to the range difference, since they don't have a projectile melee.

[Edit] All things will be made even if you give a Titan a upper cut melee that makes guardians do a backflip death sequence.

If Uncharted 4 taught me anything, it's that there is definitely a place for charged melees in gun-based multiplayer.
