Gold Knockdown Removal

Hey folks,

Just a heads up that we've removed the Gold Knockdown shield due in part to its synergy with the new support perk changes this season.

Please see the post below, thanks!

    Ok, I see that as an unbalancing change, not a balancing change.
    Now non-supports don't have a way to match the supports.
    Gold Revive: Full health and 50 shield
    Supports: 100 regeneration
    Non-Supports: 25 health
    The Support perk makes it relatively useless for supports, but still has its use for everyone else.
    Without it, only supports have meaningful revives and everyone else is thrown to the wolves.
  • If it's because they are getting regen past 100 restore, then just disable the regen when gold revive makes revive.
    That way it's still identical use to everyone, relatively.
    As is now, Supports come stock with gold revive (relatively) and everyone else is left to the wolves.
  • Really, the regen should end when they hit full, not keep regenning forevermore effectively granting 175 health + depending on gold revive, medkit, phoenix kit, DOC, Octane Regen, etc.
    That would be a better balance, and would allow non-supports to have good revives via gold KDS.

    Wish I knew how to code it, I'd suggest a line for that.
    But effectively, if health=100 then end/delete remaining regen.
