Honestly i think the game will be fine with the difficulty changes. People are honestly overreacting quite a bit with this. We are getting a whole new slew of abilites, perks, weapons, exotics, mechanics, reworks, catylists, verbs and champion stuns on top of a lot of our CWL and EW mods turned into fragments, Even the removal of elemental armor affinity. I don't think people realize how much the game is just a point and click adventure in anything but master nightfalls and GMs.

1-2p still isn’t allowing you to 1 hit a red bar on 0 stacks. Your shotgun is likely going to 1 hit said red bar, meaning you’re going to need a secondary target to melee immediately after, which also means you’re probably surrounded and about to get smacked before you even get that punch off. Building up combination blow in high end content can be extremely difficult and deadly if dropped or if certain enemy types are unavailable- which can be a huge issue in team play. I’ve solod masters that are impossible to complete and require restart if you drop combination blow at certain parts or fail to keep it up.
