As a massdriver user, if you get in my face, I shoot behind you. Your body blocks me from damage, and you get the full of my splash :D. You'd think after using the Mass Driver for 9 months I know a thing or two. |

Then you aren't as close as you believe you are. Every time the splash radius of the mass-driver is reduced, it is a buff for the md in cqc because it's harder for the user to splash himself.
You should have seen it when the splash was 6 meters on the basic w/skills and 9 meters on the boundless assault. lots of suicides. Conveniently, the splash got reduced, so now those same people simply don't hit themselves anymore.

Pretty much explains it. Assuming of course the person testing can be trusted, but lets assume so for now.
To summarize, MD users take half the radius for splash damage (ex: 4 m splash radius, you the user only start to take damage within 2 m). This, if it's a bug, causes MD to be effective at very short ranges, like a shotgun, as the effective splash vs the user is very small. |
