Re: Shield swapping in combat is cheating.

@hayhor Well, of course, when you are not wearing them, they auto refill like the armor in the Control LTM! Duh!

( The real reason is that if the armor was left broken like it should be cause you killed them, then the streamer sweats could not hot swap in the 3rd 4th 5th party situations they encourage and would die for not playing smart. And can't hurt streamer fee fees. )

And it's not even consistent, which is what is really annoying. I win a fight and try to get refilled armor, it's at zero in the box half the time. I survive better by quickly swapping to the white armors everyone complains is all over. 50 now vs 25 in 3 seconds... not a hard choice.

@Kyldenar Oh people would lose their minds if the armor was empty. You'd get people talking about taking skill out of the game and all that. But you are right, people would have to play much much smarter in order to avoid 3rd parties. It would be played more like top levels.

The perception problem with shield swapping is your armor is a shield that is drawn like a glowing suit of...armor. It's basically a shield.
But I weirdly agree that swapping armor should have a time count in seconds, even if it's not an actual suit you put on, per se.
Mainly because, yes, it's weird the way it stands right now, even from a game perspective. It's just odd to have people standing around Loba black markets in the endgame, restoring shields then yanking out suits and leaving them around. It's a skill, sure, strategic, sure, but also just plain weird and comical.
Until Respawn changes how it works, though, I'd get used to it.
