In Destiny 2 update 2.8.0, Bungie made a series of changes to Code of the Missiles melee Ballistic Slam. While many of them were good, there is one change that totally ruined the melee in PVP by increasing the knockback significantly. The opponent is simply flying away to far for a good clean up kill, and sometimes they even fling away a great distance which actually puts them in safety. Another issue is when the maps geometry comes into play; If the opponent hits an angle they will fling away in unexpected patterns, making it extremely hard to know where they went. For the opponent however, it is easy to know where I am since they only need to look in the opposite direction of where they are heading. I think Bungie should remove the knockback they added in update 2.8.0.
