Remove gold knockdown shields in ranked? People are crying for rank changes

@Cro_Pittt I haven't watched any Tournament play in a while, but earlier when I did I can't recall where a gold knockdown was ever a factor.

I agree with @rockyboy1998
"The gold knockdown is fun in pubs, it can be really useful at times but in ranked in honestly it's pointless. In ranked regardless of whatever knockdown shield you have you get finished instantly because of KP and it is very very rare that you even get the chance to crawl away to safety let alone self revive yourself."

In ranked, I find even the regular knockdown shields almost pointless and would argue they need to cover a bigger arc, because whenever I am knocked I am finished in half a frickin' second from a quick side strafe R9 or PK blast.

Whenever I pop something for gold loot, gold knockdowns are the single most disappointing thing, followed closely to a gold sniper mag. But I think they should remain in the game. They're fun in that 1 in 1000+ game where you actually pull it off. 🙂

If the ALGS pros are ignoring knocked players to finish remaining members of the squad, it's on them. They know they are in the game. Of course, they also know they are not very common and are taking a gamble that the knocked player/players don't have one, and they're crying when they lose that gamble.
