Shield swapping in combat is cheating.
I have a really simple fix, it takes 5 seconds to pop a battery, so if you take damage within 10 seconds, the time it takes to use a phoenix kit, then it must take 5 seconds to pick up armor off the ...

i clearly won that fight, but if mechanics abuse is acceptable, then i suppose you have no problem with Ddos... thats just a mechanic...
DDOS is active denial of service attack, which is considered hacking and a proper crime in most countries. Armor swap is a part of the game, you can even prep a defense area by carrying armor swaps and putting them on the floor instead of in deathboxes for more efficient access when fighting over the room/area, its a part of the game, DDOS needs external hardware, external software and a particularly evil dude pressing the go button. I would be just as irritated as you loosing that fight as mechanically you won even if he won the fight, but I suggest you learn from this and steal that swap first!
There is no need to be calling @Zkepz names here.
Shield swapping is a learned skill and can be very useful. It is not cheating no matter how you feel about it.
If Macros are used to assist shield swapping, the use of the macro is the cheat not the swap in and of itself.
I understand that you think you should have won that battle but you seem to have been just a little outplayed there.
When I get the chance and find a good defensive position where I can set out a few shields to swap with I will. This can save having to take the time to use cells and batts and is crucial in some situations in order to win the fight or game. It is not cheating but rather forward thinking, prepping the battlefield and playing smart.
- @Zkepz Or simply go to cover and reset. That is always and option. It is not like Call of Duty, everyone has 1 bullet health and no abilities. Use it not only to be aggressive but also to outplay the opponent.
