Gold shield very little advantage since season 6 revamp ?

Gold shields now have only 3 bars and since revamp before last give double heals instead of quick heals.  Now I have a brain injury so maybe I'm missing something here and someone can help me out ?  ...

@RNM104898656 The gold shield is only useful when you're stuck in the storm, as the extra heals can save your life and that of your team. I would also pick up the red evo against the legendary shield due to having more HP, especially with the TTK.

With how fast the TTK is though I believe the gold shield is supposed to be used constantly during a fight to keep popping a cell and continuing the fight, it does it's current job effectively though, which is reducing the time it takes to heal.

All I know is I'd rather use a 8 second shield battery to get 4 bars of shield than 2 x 5 seconds shield cells to get only 3 bars.  Fast heals would be better than doubles. I see a lot of youtubers saying they're not really bothering with gold shields anymore.
