@phantomkiller143 I think they should give it back the fast heal ability... that way players are still incentivised to try and work their way up to get the red shield or they settle for less health and take the gold with the option to heal quicker. This also allows people to stack bigger meds like Phoenix kits and med kits as they are quicker to use.
If they do this however, I think they need to make sure that the gold shield is one of the rarest items on the map because they can be very OP.
Personally, I think the gold items are pretty good my favourite being the helmet as I play with BH and it gives me the ability to get my tac and ult back quicker. The backpack is good if you have a mirage or a lifeline as well I always will give this out to either of them players!
