Can someone confirm?

In a game where purple shield can keep you alive for about 0.1 of a millisecond, seems ridiculous to limit shield and health from the replicator. I will never understand this new era of Dev's and the way they think and implement changes and the reasons for half of them. If feels like the new gen of Dev's should all be working in completely different fields. The gaming industry as a whole from the Dev's, to the influencers, to the corporate creed, the dirty tactics to rake ppl for money,  the hacking industry having more power and control over games then the developers and owners themselves and just about most everything else has brought this industry to its knees. Or rather has brought us player base casuals to their knees. 

Disappointing.
