So, why does Shoulder Charge exist? (Criticism)

Honest question.

Because based on this week's THAB detailing upcoming sandbox changes, I don't think Bungie knows either.

Not only is SC getting a significant damage nerf, they're upping the time it takes to recharge, so you'll have less access to it.

And... just... WHY?

Why would I ever put myself at risk to use this suicidal ability, if not to ensure that whatever I hit with it is no longer standing, post-impact?

"In our experience, they’re still powerful in PvP in combination with short-range weapons"

You know what else is powerful in PvP in combination with a short-range weapon? A regular, unpowered melee strike!

I hate that crucible exists so much. I hate that Bungie has to do this weird dance where they take abilites that are fun in PvE and nerf them into the ground, trying to maintain the illusion that Destiny could ever have a "level-playing field".
