I know everyone hates spot canceling in Ultimate but with the way I think the meta is going to progress I'm starting to believe it's necessary. Offense / set play is just going to get stronger and stronger. I could be wrong, but that's currently my take.

Retreating aerials is safe and sacrifices position, it's a tradeoff. They're probably even safer in melee. The annoying addition that Ult has is characters who can set up camp even from the corner and shoot projectiles
They're generally not safer in melee since the option after the aerial (sheild, spotdodge) is far worse, and runup options are stronger (cc/shield) Also if u get hit at the edge u can actually die at 0
