Titans are meant to melee EVERYTHING. However, why is it that hunters have a long melee (blink strike), and warlocks have a naturally long reach for the melee, but titans have to be in kissing range to hit you? Even though they can shoulder charge, why is this? Post why you think this is the way it is.

I think you are understating the situation. I believe the Titan melee is purely cosmetic and brings no real damage boost to melee. What makes me say this is that I went through the Void Exotic Sword quest as a Titan. As you know, the void Titan is a support class. Therefore, I only had use of my melee and grenade abilities. The quest calls for killing approximately 500 PVE adversaries with void energy. When I would melee enemies I noticed that if I got a body shot on a Cabal target the void melee wouldn’t trigger until my second shot, even if the void melee was available on my power bar. I tried punching the same Cabal targets without the void melee available on my power bar. I noticed that it took two melee attacks to kill the target. That led me to the conclusion that if you hit a target in the body that required two shots normally, the target would still require two shots even if you had your void melee ability ready. Therefore, the void melee has no advantage in combat and is purely cosmetic. The only caveat here is that it is PVE. It may react differently in PVP. However, from my recollection, I think it operates the same way in PVP. Without seeing the actual code, I have no way to categorically substantiate this. However, hopefully if this becomes a big enough issue I hope that Bungie will address this problem.

It's pretty easy when you master the speed of a titan with better control lift to shoulder charge people. If you get good with it people wouldn't even have enough time to pull a shotgun out to kill you lmao
-
Titans just have a permanent Small Arms debuff applied.
-
Titans need a melee range increase.
-
This is the same company that decided mages (glass cannons) should get the chance to be tankier than warriors (tanks). Are you honestly surprised?
-
Shoulder charge
-
I've been informed that I'm needed here
-
Why should they melee everything? Just because they are a titan? They have the highest armor, as well as the most panic induced super. I'm just disappointed that they can't blink
-
They're just saving their arms for later. Don't want to pull a muscle/servo that they might need later for a Fist of Havoc or flaming hammertime.
-
T-REX ARMS! That's why.
-
The devs don't like titans. Its sad that the devs can't even balance classes let alone weapons
-
The devs hate titans
-
Because Bungie hates Titans, simple as that.
-
I've been thinking maybe they intentionally did this, so both are melee abilities wouldn't be OP because we can literally melee anything with shoulder charge, thus making are regular melee exactly that regular. but just my thoughts (I main titan)
-
Thats why you delete your titan for another warlock/hunter!
-
Who said titans are supposed to melee everything?
-
Are they suppose to be that way? They seem to be a "soldier" and would seem to use weapons more. The bubble with the weapon and armor perks kinda to give credit to that theory
-
Titan stronk. Fist heavy. Punch with fist. Arm not long. Smaaaash!
-
Stereotyping Titans, you classist.
-
Titans make me sad because panic fisting.
-
Hunters are quick, and warschlocks use space magic. Titans just have their fists of fury.
-
Lol because Titans are supposed to be tough and whatever, but rlly, Titans have that lead short sucker punching length.
