Reverting the shield change ruined this game

Well yeh, peoples looked shields as simple answer to complex issue, apex developers including.

my original idea was to buff weaker weapons on last season when peoples demanded to nerf strong ones like r99 to bring them into better balance rather then constant nerfs. combining shield nerf with all the other updates caused maybe bit too much of a swing to side or another rather then subtly changing things like shotguns pumping still for 120 became much larger issue since they got also buffed rather then weapons like r-301 getting small damage update or spitfire.

This game was not designed around that big of a swing, so they either had to nerf alot of previously already strong weapon, or revert the change and buff a few weaker weapons wich on short term might be easier. especially when wraith q was balanced around larger heatlh pool this might be the better route into increased dps. The way it shoulda gone to begin with

I hope they plan to do it this way atleast but never know what future holds on.
