It's the most frustrating thing in the game, in my opinion.
Phalanx/taken phalanx/super shieldio bros/Regicide Oryx all have this ridiculous knockback, which yknow, that's totally cool. You do you. But the amount of times I've just taken a hit that I should've easily survived and proceeded to get killed by wall collision? It's stupid.
I even got killed by the FOG surrounding the Oryx arena at the final stage of regicide. That doesn't even make sense! Why would I die by colliding with fog?!
It just adds a sense of random death, which doesn't make sense in a game that's largely about being strategic and aware of your surroundings. If I'm in a position where I'm thinking "it'd be beneficial for me to take this hit, because I know I'll easily survive the damage and it means I'll be able to get a few more important shots off or get this revive rather than turning and running", then just get killed by a wall anyway, not only does it feel unfair, but it has more than once been the cause of my fire team being "consumed by the darkness".
Don't even get me started on that ma'aul jetpack shieldbro guy. Run all you want, but he's gonna hit you, and if you just happen to be caught at the wrong angle, game over man.
Not a fan. Anyone else as opposed to the collision damage mechanic as I am? Honestly, I'd love to just see it removed. Maybe it'd help stop the cabal completely dominating the "most hated race" poll.
Do share your thoughts, if anyone can come up with a good argument for its inclusion then I would like to hear it, but I will say that, at least for me, gameplay> realism, I know it'd hurt in real life, so it makes sense, but I wouldn't pull flaming hammers from my pockets and take a sniper round to the face in real life either, so I'm gonna guess realism isn't really what they were going for in destiny.
CHEERS
Edit: just to clear this up because it's annoying, not once did I say "this should be changed and I am requesting a fix". No, I'm venting, because I'm not a fan of deaths that feel almost random. Have your views, tell me them, by all means. Just stop putting words in my mouth.
