Knockdown shield bug

Hey guys,

At first I thought I was tripping but it's happened to me 3 times - I got killed through a full knockdown shield. And no, before you say it, twice it was full hp blue/purple and once through 710hp purple one. I rewatched the matches, to be sure that this is what happened. Literally, I'm in a corner, knocked, and a guy runs straight at me (and yes, the shield is up and full) and just shoots (90 degree angle) and finishes me through it, like it's not even there. It's a pretty strange and annoying bug that I've encountered. Has anyone else had this problem?

    It's also happened through Rampart's Shield, Id get downed through it and most times they just rush without actually breaking my shield.

    @SchweppesJunkie It's not just you. Players have been hitting me through mine as well. Even a grenade killed me with a purple one fully deployed. Normally the grenade would take anywhere from 0-90ish damage off the shield, but it just flat out killed me as if the shield was put away. I was crawling slow as well... you know the speed in which you go when you have the knockdown shield out.

    @Midnight9746 I thought I was tripping hard. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one (not glad that you have this bug too). I wonder if they're even aware of this problem.

    @Midnight9746 i think it has maybe something to do with a delay (server side). your client send you use your shield or turn in the direction to the enemy, but the server didn't realised it and say you got a direct hit.

    @SchweppesJunkie I have actually been 1 shot through a gold knock down. First started seeing it last season. You def are not tripping at all I have seen it and felt it many times.

    @Raklor_R kinda doesn't matter, if people are having this issue, it has to be fixed. Although I don't see how you being one shot through a shield has to do with the delay. In my case, I had my shield up a few seconds before an enemy came to finish me (the first time I was trying to use my shield to scout for my squad, see where the enemy is). I don't think delay has to do with it, this is most likely a bug that needs to be fixed.

    @SchweppesJunkie I am more along lines of when it happens to me its def someone i suspect of cheating from the start before it happens. I believe it is some cheat cause ive had a mozam even 1 shot through my purple knock down. I actually thought i was the only one i did make a post quite while back about it and dont believe i got feedback of it happening to anyone else. But i def noticed it.
