Could you give an example of high-risk in another game? (Destiny)

Because I'm pretty sure I can bend the crap out of your argument on top of basically anything.

I agree with Mac's point-of-view. Shoulder charge foregoes usage of weapons and some maneuverability in exchange of the heavy hit, which might miss if the enemy jukes you or you screw up your aim, after which you're completely vulnerable for a short time. That's some pretty high risk, IMO.

Take the Hunter's heavy knife, for instance. It's also a heavy hit, much more reliant on aim and you're locked into the animation until it's over, but you can move as freely as anyone while it goes, so while it's not risk-free, it's clearly lower-risk than shoulder charge, with about the same high-reward.
