Melee Attacks Don't Register! (Arcblade, Shoulder Charge, Scorch,...)

So lately (since the 2.0 patch) I'm having problems with my melee attacks. At moments where I 100% know for sure that I hit my target with my melee attack I will deal 0 damage! This is a bug since the 2.0 patch. I have seen allot of complaints about this topic so I decided to make a video about it where I show several clips where I hit my enemy with a melee attack but don't deal any damage, you should definitly watch it if you don't know what I'm talking about. This bug affected the Bladedancers the most since they have a super that revolves around melee attacks. Please share this so Bungie fixes this as soon as possible. Edit 1: Cozmo announced that this bug is going to be fixed soon!

    This is a traffic-shaping/port-blocking issue, and can be caused by the people you play with, rather than just by your own connection. I discovered this when a friend of ours started playing Destiny alongside myself and the rest of my usual clan. Latency-wise, he's on an identical connection to my son, (who physically lives less than an hour from him.) They're on different ISPs, however, and the one in question is famous for traffic-shaping pretty much any peer-to-peer app during peak hours. Literally, as soon as this guy joins our fireteam, all of my melee skills stop triggering. As soon as he leaves, they start working again. Bungie probably never knew it was a problem, because they've the common sense not to use awful ISPs. Edit: for those mentioning lag-switching, yeah - that can cause it too, because in essence, the switch is just another throttling technique, like traffic-shaping.
