Sunsinger Slapshots me in ToS? [Beorn and Wes present] (Destiny)
I had a Sunsinger slapshot me in Trials last night. If you watch the map, you'll notice that DreadPirateWes was straight up punted. Now, I ended up dying from the burn, but at the rate I was traveling I'm pretty sure it would have been an architect kill if my death hadn't halted my sand glissade.

Anyone know how this works? I'm pretty sure it's a defect, but I'd like to understand it to give myself the best chance of avoiding it.

Yeah, I got shot about 100 yards more towards A and a bit deeper off the map. I did not immediately die from the architects, but had 5 seconds to make it back to the map. Barely made it and then died to a sunsinger grenade almost immediately.
I have had this happen several Times

On this exact part of this Map. Its kind of annoying. and it has happened from different melees. IDK what is causing it but its really annoying.

I think it's the sloping grade

On the Exclusion zone farming spot mission, when I go to wipe sometimes when I get hit by the Cabal with shields I go flying. How can we report this?!

You: So I was fighting the cabal and he hit me with his shield and I went flying! That's not fair!
Them: So you are saying you got B!@#$ slapped by a cabal and went flying? don't get hit next time. NEXT!

I know. I've been punted by those jerk wads many a time.

Some people have already mentioned that this part of the map might be especially prone to physics impulses causing longer travel than expected. So, there's that. But I haven't seen anyone mention that the Sunsinger melee has a specific perk (Solar Wind) which is supposed to cause increased knockback. Didn't know if you knew about that or not. It's not usually so extreme, but combined with an area that's already prone to it...
That all said, I didn't think Solar Wind actually got used much in PvP. Seems like flame shield would be better to me. I couldn't tell if that player had a flame shield active - the Radiance effect kind of obscures things.

Here’s what I saw:
Could be Solar Wind; his shield didn’t regen with either of his melees, but then again he may have already used it at this point (I don’t remember). Might also explain why he was able to launch both of them with one hit (I’ve never actually used Solar Wind, so I’m not sure if that’s a plausible explanation).

It's a physics quirk that probably has to do with the way a dropping Warlock's melee lunge can sort of shove you into the ground, and it sends your character flying. Not sure how to explain it, but it's the save way that a Cabal sends you flying when they do an overhead smash. Maybe the slope of the ground affects it, but I've found that it can swing both ways for some reason:
You can do it to PvE enemies often enough (which causes them to kick into a scurrying animation), and I sometimes tried to do it to push defenders out of their bubbles, but it never worked quite right. I've also never had this happen as a Titan or Hunter, so there's that...
