Titan shoulder charge a One Hit KO nerf!

I really enjoy the PvP in Destiny, and everything was awesome in the lower levels, but now that everyone is getting their skill trees higher, a few abilities are becoming a bit overused and overpowered in their current state; namely the Titan's shoulder charge. There's no reason this ability should be a one-hit kill in PvP, especially with the buffs already to Titan's melee. No other class gets an ability (Besides the super buffs of course) that grants a OHKO in close quarters combat, and the fact it has a large instantaneous lunge makes it that much more OP. It would make more sense if the shoulder charge took the place of the melee ability of the Striker; but the fact that it's its own ability and it deals an instant kill makes it that much more imbalanced. There's been numerous times that a Titan has not even thought about using a weapon, and has instead charged forward and melee'd before I get the chance to hit them a few times with my weapon and melee myself. This completely counteracts any form of skill-based play if one player who chooses a particular class can just sprint forward and get a guaranteed melee kill with a massive lunge, whereas another who chooses a different class cannot. Even with an Arc Blade active, the Titan will still trade kills with the Hunter in a melee battle, and that's quite unbalances seeing as one is a super and one is just a skill tree ability with infinite recharge, as long as you sprint beforehand. I suggest decreasing the damage so that the one hit kill is no longer possible off a skill-tree based ability, as these should only be possible with a super ability. Possibly even changing this as a replacement for the Storm Fist if the player chooses it could also even out the CQB fights in the Crucible. EDIT: For everyone commenting who seems to be a Titan and doesn't want their one-hit kill ability nerfed, I'm not trying to JUST make your class weaker, I'm trying to bring to the attention of staff that [u]ONLY[/u] one class gets an ability for something like this; so either nerfing it to make everyone equal in CQB, or buffing the Warlock and Hunter for a respective OHK skill should create parity between the classes. At the moment, each class is equal at every range except for the Titan at close range. Therefore, it's imbalanced.

  • Warlock and Hunter = blink shotgun melee.... no [b]long[/b] charge needed or even relative skill to sneak up to [b]actually[/b] land the shoulder charge. Decent pvp player (if you can call a pvp player that at all) wouldn't get snuck up on and would[b]back up an shoot[b] if they saw a Titan running at them, not stand there screaming frozen in terror. This is why I hate pvp players! Nerf Queens. Easy solution, play pve..... no shoulder charges there.

  • The warlocks have a one hit kill too. You kite away with charged melee. If I get that close to you . . . I know it's frustrating I'm not trying to be an a$$. I've been there just gotta watch your radar, try and work on your awareness. Track your enemies.

    • The shoulder charge isn't a one hit kill against a blade dancer super. Also, you need to 'charge' the ability by running for a few seconds and if you don't use it within a period of a few seconds it doesn't work. Its not the one hit wonder that it appears to be.

      • Invest in a shotgun mate. Next time you see a Titan running at you plant the nozzle under his chin and smile :)

      • Hunter Back stab is a one-hit kill and they don't even have to charge directly at an enemy to use it. The Sun Singer Radiance melee is a one hit kill on ANYTHING and they just have to use their Super to use it. Stop complaining because you let a Titan run directly at you and get a kill. It's only your fault

          Maybe not a big one but it shouldn't be more powerfull than a charged mellee special (quickly followed by a normal mellee, rifle burst, fusion etc for the kill), but whatever

        • Then I want Blade Dancer Nerfed too, it's almost imposible to kill a Hunter doing his "Blade Dancing" act, and it can kill two, three even four dudes in a moment. Shoulder Charge can be stopped with a well placed shotgun round, even a head shot it's possible.

          • No class needs a nerf they all have pros and cons I play as all 3 if I'm a Titan I'll bitch hunters and locks op or hunter it's Titan and locks op and so on you get the point in IB I've only seen one Titan try shoulder charge and I shot him down no problem One sub class of all that's a little under powered is the Titan defender the melee sucks the nads really suck and the bubble can be good at times but don't really kill anyone lol.

          • I completely agree with it being overpowered, as a hunter we need to wait 30 seconds for blink strike and hit you in the back to get a one hit kill where as the shitty titans can just run towards you and hit you, it's -blam!-ing disgraceful. Talk about favouritism.

          • Look, that class has nothing else. Warlock grenades track you all the way across the map and kill you in one hit. Hunters go invisible and have, hands down, the best supers in the game. Deal with it.

            • Shut the Hell up. You dont know how god damn hard it is to use that ability. First off it needs to be charged up. Then you need to find someone before it runs out. After that your chances of actually getting the kill are horrible. One easy shotgun shot or warlock punch and we are done! Titans underperform in pvp as is so there is no need to nerf one of our abilitys.

            • I play warlock, hate getting the shoulder charge smashing my face off. But at the same time I have abilities to counter that, and weapons, and a radar to give me the best chance of avoiding it and killing the titan that is giving everything to hit me. Nerf titans? Not at all. Nerf little cry babies? Yes please!

            • Your Complaining really? Look at your PvP score with you hunter. Is it fare you get two attack Classes as the Warlock and Titan only get One attack Subclass each and the other subclass is support. So please STFU stop crying and think before you say something

            • Speaking as a Titan who tried the charge and does NOT still use it: Try it first. It's not the game breaker a lot of people say it is.

                It sounds like you're a bitter player...shoulder charging titans aren't much of a problem for me when I use the invective as an equalizer...find a way to adapt your play style to fit the situation instead of crying to bungie to nerf this or nerf that...be a gamer not a whiner
