They don't to necessarily get rid of that concept, it just can't be the [u]exact [/u]same thing every time. For instance, that's why I've never hated giant servitors in this area. Don't have a magical 'push back button' but rather actually suck your life away. Same concept but different way of doing it. And it makes sense because they can't touch the ground (unlike hydras... because Vex magic). Besides, it would be kind of cool to see a big captain or Kell grab you by neck and blast you away with a shotgun or run you through with a sword then throw you down. The enemies just need some personality besides looks. They all pretty much do the same thing... it's boring. For Vex I always thought they should use teleporting more. For instance, if you get too close to a Vex boss they simply always teleport you away. Instantly. It just makes sense and gives the Vex a little bit of personality. Obviously, you can vary it a bit. Not all Vex need to do that (for instance, giant Gatelords) but it makes perfect sense on less mobile stages of bossfights or different bosses altogether (like hydras). Cabal it kind of makes sense, but I would like to see where a cabal boss actually pulls you in so you can't escape. They kinda of slow you down, then stomp on you, but you don't ragdoll. It's just a near death experience (if at full health, of course) to make them dangerous. The Cabal are bigger than you, why should they be afraid of your tiny frame? The Hive could do anything. It's why the wizards are so different than anything else in the game because they actually debuff, slow, and attack your sight if you get too close. It's unique, different, and again does not rely on simply pushing you away physically but rather making you get out of the cloud of death.
