Can we get this thing Nerf'ed a Little bit, like have it so the fast use mechanic has a timer between uses so it cannot be spammed, like 15 to 30 second between fast use and otherwise normal use.
just an idea.. seems like everyone in the last top 6 has gold shields and it becomes a cluster of battery spamming fights
If you need it that badly to win, I guess you cant see a game without it being a more balanced fair fight that would be more appealing
but i find those who cannot endure on skill alone praise the gold shields fast use mechanic
Meanwhile Mendo tries to find bugs or climb a tower and then wins with white body shield. 😝
I dunno, shooting people while they're using bats works out pretty well for me. And you also get their gold 🙂
I hate it when I fight gold shield for sure specially at long range, but I managed to outplay/out skill gold shields many times. if keep pushing them, they either reload their weapons or recharge/heal themselves, and you have to grab this chance to finish them. players with Goldshield tends to be defensive sometimes or at least go get into cover to recharge with the minimalist of damage as they trust they the fast charge can keep them alive, so going against someone like me who don't mind charging in in CQC with Half life and damaged shield is a trouble for them
Honestly half the time I have gold shield I don't remember until I heal for the first time and I am like oh yeah. The gold backpack on the other hand I am always aware of that if I got it I am volunteering to heal up every one who gets knocked. Seriously though purple/gold shield doesn't change my gameplay have won with white shield and a crappy loadout before. Just depends on the favor of the circle terrain and your squads ability to take on whoever is left.
As far as nerfing it, why? It is the perk of having it. Otherwise it is just purple shield. Nerf this buff that, I get it everyone has an opinion but what would be the purpose of nerfing back the only advantage this rare item has? As far as everyone in the top 6 having it, I have seen gold armor a handful of times this season, 10- 20 times so I must be in some of the unluckiest lobbies. And for what it's worth I have 150 season 3 wins so I have been in my fair share of final 6's, so when I say that seeing everyone with gold shield, naw it is occasional at best.
