Because a close range protection mechanic shouldnt affect me beyond close range. Sometimes it affects you when you're seeing dmg falloff on SMG. And even when the dmg doesnt get you, that shove effect does, and when I've got deadly reach procd, and I cant even get a melee because I'm too far, it shouldnt affect me. I see the need for it to exists. But not the need for it to dominate the entire games boss fights...it isnt a short rang punish, its simply a spammable main attack with it's current range, Or at least let jumping in the opposite direction with your powered jump should stop your momentum.
