[quote]He was in the air, and he used the shoulder charge to sort of "fall" into his target, if that makes any sense. He jumped off a platform, I can only assume mid-sprint, and the other guy was on the ground. Also, why shouldn't it have a cool-down? It's basically a 1-hit kill.[/quote] The shoulder charge has a 6 metre range, to any direction, the player can theoretically move 6 metres forward and 6 down, but that's just how it works. I know what you mean, because there are times when I use shoulder charge to get some momentum from platform to platform and I just dip down and knee someone in the back of the head. But let's he honest, snipers and shotguns don't have a cooldown to be used, they are a one hit kill. A strategic hunter can easily mop the floor with a team in arc blade, a sunsinger gets 3x more health and a flame shield in radiance. Shoulder charge is just asking to die If you go into a group of more than one person. Learn the maps and I promise you will die to SC less.

Yeah, the only time it's really a problem is when the entire other team is strikers and blade dancers, that's when it's the biggest problem. Especially when they are in a fireteam, able to communicate with each other. I had just ABYSMAL luck last night where every time I got into the Crucible, there was a group of 4+ people all using thorn, felwinter's, or something similar. It was seriously frustrating, even if I left and joined another round I was paired up against another team.

A simple fix is to get your own fire team. With 5 or 6 guys, one of each subclass, you will win. Its much more difficult to counter different subclasses than only one subclass. If you go up against a team of blade dancers, get I defender with suppressor grenade and the Armamentarium. Profit. All I'm saying is if a team us all using one build the other team only needs one build. If your team has 6 builds, the other team needs 6 builds to counter each of you.
