I have never, ever been in a match where someone just runs around shoulder charging everyone. And shotties are not hit or miss. If they see you, and they have a shotgun out, they will kill you. End of story. And making throwing knives a OHK would be op as hell. Unless they seriously tweaked them, any decent player would have an unlimited supply of instant death blades. Plus unlike SC, you don't have to put yourself in harms way to use them, and you can use them any time. Shoulder charge is fine where it's at. If you get killed by it, it's because you made a mistake, not because it's op.

You must not play crucible much if you have never seen anyone running around the map shoulder charging every one in their sights. You must also not use shotguns very much either. Also have you ever used throwing knives? They can be I saintly difficult to land a precision hit with and if you miss, you loose the charge. Even still, if you land a precision kill with a throwing knife on death, you don't gain the charge back even if you have the perk active.

I clearly play a lot more than you. Shoulder charging is not an issue. I use shotguns as much as anyone. Unless yours is utter crap, they're still plenty lethal. More than enough to shut down shoulder chargers. Hell, I've shut them down with fusion rifles. If they kill you, it's your fault. Simple as that. It's not gimmicky like other abilities. And for Christ's sake, throwing knives are easy as hell to get precision hits with. They [i]track[/i], on top of high aim assist.
