We can no longer use it on melee range...
I'd rather lose the damage on Volley than lose the Kill Shot on melee.

GAH what? you cant melee range kill shot anymore? FFS, it not only saved my ass more arena matches than i can count, being one of the only two shots you can use at that range, but it felt more realistic to be able to "execute" your victim from point blank...weaksauce...very weaksauce...

It was never intended to be an official feature so... we deserved this fix.

This is probably more of a bug fix than a nerf. I can't imagine that they really intended you to be able to fire off melee-range Kill Shots.

Grrrr... I agree, it sux, but hey, it was abug and was going to get fixed sometime soon... nothing better though, than seeing 10k+ dmg while my polearm swings away at the rogue who just stun locked me and seeing his rogish face all twisted in surprise.

I disagree that this was a bug in the "unintended outcome" sense. I point out that the effect AND the tool tip were the same. If the tool tip had said this whole time that it was supposed to be 5 yard min range, then I would buy it. Someone consciously added this feature into the game, and again, I believe the intent was that since it was a "KILL SHOT" it was meant to be something you could do from point blank, ie an execution. I tried a few test runs in AV, and for the most part whenever a melee got on me it was about over, we do have ALOT of ways to put space between us and a melee, but they are all on pretty big cool downs, and this was the only one that ended the fight, instead of just giving us another oppurtunity to be intercepted.
Response?

I don't think you can gleen any information from the name "Kill Shot" because when they first put it in the range was supposed to be 5 yards (and was bugged to 8 yards).
If they had originally intended it to be some sort of execution (gun to the head?) with no range, they would've put it in the game initially with no minimum range.
