Issue with NewCastle
Passive Issue: I have many times where I am reviving my ally and the opponents kill them or myself without doing any damage to my revive shield. I would like the shield to be wider, maybe as wide a...

If you have a crappy network connection (high ping) then that should impact your game, not the other person's game.
The server should not allow you to benefit from lag, or you would simply introduce it to cheat.

@MrGreenWithAGunLag switching was very common in S1 to about S5 or so.
That's when someone would use a cheat to hold onto packets, (the things telling the server where everyone is at, what they're doing, etc.) With the packets being halted, the cheater can run across the map, shoot at you, and then run away. They then allow their game to send the packets, and the server just goes, "alright". That's when you'll see someone "teleport" or move in a fast way that wasn't a speed hack, resulting in someone getting randomly knocked.

Yes, I understand what you were saying. Do you see the flaw in the design of the game if the authority (server) allows that type of behavior?
The authority is saying, "I will let you get the kill because you said so, but the other guy who I could not notify of your position will be out of luck."
The server should say, "your network connection is so bad I have to side with those who saw you back there and not award you the shot."
Again, this is a design flaw in the game. I have a laggy connection and I haven't seen most of what you are talking about.
Also, it's mostly to do with them in my face.
They shove their face into my shield and strafe around me to try to duck around my shield.
I put my shield ahead of their strafe and on my screen they empty it into my shield.
Yet My shield takes nothing and either myself or my charge dies.
It should have required to bust the shield first.
Also, I've had times where someone like a Bangalore could shove their face into my shield and clip their gun through it to ignore my shield, thus a second layer should be added to require frontal assault to bust the shield before we can take damage. An forward overshield of sorts. That and widen the shield so laggy people can still stay ahead of a solo person trying to knock them down while they revive.
Also, I think this should also effect knockdown shields as well, because they do it there too.
