Why are knockdown shields useless (to me anyway)?
I've gotten to the point where I'm about ready to just drop my white knockdown shield when I first land and go shield-less because it's completely useless when I use it. I don't know if I'm using it wrong or what, but literally every time I get knocked down, it's like it's not even there...
Most games that I get knocked, I get thirsted immediately (or just get a finisher dropped on me because my random teammates don't know I exist). If I have a better shield that can take a few hits, I'll try to block and buy some time. The thing is, it's like I'm not even holding one almost every time I try to use one. I either die faster than I can bring it up (even if it comes up on my screen), I can't turn fast enough to block the person who looks like they can strafe around me faster than the flash, or it looks like they're shooting right though it (especially around the corners when they're strafing).
Meanwhile, if I down someone, their shield works perfectly fine. Takes all my bullets and they can usually keep up with my strafing...
So what am I doing wrong? Am I doing anything wrong? Is it because my internet makes things lag, so I'm just that fraction of a second off on my screen vs. their screen?
