Evo shield glow when leveled up

So I was fighting this team (duos) I knocked and damaged another badly then retreated to heal fast and pushed again before I give him time to heal I had a PK and he had R99 and a blue evo. In the middle of the fight he leveled up to purple I almost had him but was confused when I saw his shield glow purple (during level up) so I decided to fall back and died in the process. My point is, when you see the level up glow of evo you lose track of how much damage you did and you get confused. I think only the one who has the evo should see the level up glow not the enemy.

    @Supremo0075 But the evo changes during battle, plus it gives you 25 extra health at max.
    Sure, you can tap them to see their shield, but if they get a few hits on anyone they might get a better shield, which could be cause to avoid them.

    Well, it's also fair because everyone else also has the same "problem". If you have an evo shield, then your enemy could have this problem. Plus, I have been seing a lot of complaints about the vo shield glow being too "distracting", so it seems like it balances out.

    @Kevin-c946 Obviously -_- that is why I said it CONFUSES you. I always check for damage and whether my opponent's shield is cracked, but that blue, purple, or red glow will give you the illusion that the enemy won't be dying anytime soon..

    @Supremo0075 I’m confused as to why that confuses you? If you know it was blue and were doing damage then it glowed purple KNOWING it doesn’t recharge then why is it an issue? If you heard the crack it’s still cracked even if it levels up.

    @Kevin-c946 Man! When you are in the zone (as I would like to call it) every split second counts and there is no time to deduce or anything. It's a psychological thing you see purple you perceive it as threat. It's a positive feedback that helps and doesn't hurt anyone!

    @Supremo0075 True, but you'll just have to keep this in mind for the future.
    Sure, the glow may confuse you, but you knew what it was. You just have to feed that information to yourself next time.

    @Sir_Named perhaps or respawn could simply tweak it so enemies can't see that. I'm sure that won't be so hard for them!

    @Supremo0075 They could, but it's more of a player problem. If you remember that people who level up evo shields don't get the shields, then you'll be fine. You may be in the zone, but you should still think tactically.
    Plus, many people who are 3rd partying would probably want to know if someone has an evo shield that has leveled up to purple or red.

    @Sir_Named They can still see it break like normal shields. I hope they see this and agree, but for now I'll just have to deal with it..

    @Supremo0075 Well, what if the shield doesn't break? Then, you'll have no idea that they might have a purple or red bodyshield.
