[quote]The same could be said for every super in the game but you're talking about the one that needs to be in point blank range to kill you. That's a disadvantage no other has.[/quote] You're also talking about one that has amazing perks. The only problem that blade has run into is hit detection and this usually only affects you when the enemy is running away. You have the luxury of the super doing everything itself. Spam melee and it doesn't matter if someone was hovering 20 ft. above a doorway you were about to enter, it'll lunge for them. Blade is also severely difficult to kill when it's lunging all over. With the lack of special, it's a smart nerf for once.
