Re: Knockdown and Revive shield are useless

It is really just pointless in having the knockdown shield because it has too many bugs that make it useless. I don't even bother running to pick up a knockdown shield because I know how bad and pointless it is to even use it. My friend actually gave a real good hint of how to make a quality of life improvement to it. Make sure you have a default knockdown shield that you don't pick up, just remove it as loot all together except the LEGENDARY one and then the knockdown shield level up all together with your body shield. Perhaps even the legendary can be equipped only if legendary armor is present and remove the legendary knockdown aswell from the loot.

This isn't just knockdown shields. It's also revive shields.

They kiss it, and ignore it.

They run around you, you block everything, and you still die.

It's easy to destroy.

My purple knockdown shields get wasted in 5 seconds. But it's in those 5 seconds that your allies can swoop in and save you.

My greatest issue is I have allies right beside me, yet they focus on me instead. I'm downed you morons! Leave me be! If my allies don't get to me soon I'm dead anyways. 20 second timers (ok a little longer but it feels that short).

Also, has anyone noticed that sometimes the downed timer lasts only 5 seconds? Why does that happen? It's supposed to last 30+. I mean that literally. The bars circles so fast, you can't even blink before you're a deathbox. You get downed, screen turns red, You're a deathbox. HOW? You didn't last long enough to be finishered!

In many cases, It's near the final ring, and no one in your squad has been downed yet.

And, as for the solo thing, I never go solo.

But, for the solos, it should force them to split and fire from many directions, or get close and USE A FINISHER! THATS WHY THEY EXIST!!!!!

What's the point of finishers existing if no one uses them, or no one stays in the game long enough for people to use them?

Bugs me every time. 

Ya wanna kill me without busting my shield? USE A FINISHER! DONT IGNORE MY SHIELD!

And for NewCastle, what's the point of his revive shield if people can kill him from the front without shooting his shield? Kiss it or stand on his charge and you can ignore the shield in your face. That isn't right!

If a NewCastle gets his back in a corner, you should be forced to either Destroy The Shield or USE GRENADES. Don't use exploits that treat it like it don't exist!

I don't care if y'all call those non-exploits, I call them Exploits! Because they are bugs in the game that grant in-game features that shouldn't exist. Like Smashing Rampart's turret on a rock in Olympus to turn the ally manning it invisible except for their guns. Exploits! They're Exploiting parts of the system that need to be fixed. Exploits!
