Should Crypto's EMP Automatically destroy Knockdown Shields?
There are times where I am about to EMP an enemy or enemies. Then my teammates would win the fight against them before the EMP happened. This means I wasted EMP.
However, the EMP will hit the enemies knockdown shields for -50 which is silly. Knockdown Shields don't count towards our Damage. You also don't get the -50 Damage off a Knockdown Shield. The Shield Damage must be from an Enemy Shield Health they are wearing.
So, to fix this issue. I think EMP used against any knockdown shields that are currently being held up to shield themselves while knocked. Should automatically be destroy by an EMP. GONE! WIPE!
This will allow my teammates to finish off the downed enemies faster without a knockdown shield in their way. This will also mean that EMP wasn't wasted in vain.
Thoughts?
I wasted EMP many times before and hit enemy knockdown shields by mistake. If this buff went through. It would mean something and not waste Crypto's ultimate.
Currently, EMP will automatically destroy the following:
- Traps (caustic canister, fences and wattson's ult)
- Gibby Dome (I am not sure about his gun shield but it should automatically destroy that in my option or hit Gibby for -50 gun shield and -50 to his shield health. That is hard for me to test as i need to ult a Gibby with his Gun Shield up)
- Lifeline Drone
I can't think of anything else. Knockdown Shields should automatically be destroyed in my opinion.
