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 floor, or out of a box. I had a 1v1 finish fight where I did 301 damage but still lost because he just swapped. Gibby with red has a max health of 275, therefore no one can survive 301 damage...
I do recall Horizon being nerfed because 'her mistakes need to be more punishable' was the reason in the patch notes. so if mistakes need to be punishable, then take the 5 seconds to pop a battery and stop cheating. if not, then undo every nerf and patch. give back the rev totum jump pad combo, apologize for every attempt to balance the game from the start, because 'if its in the game its legal' right?
Edit----
Im just going to be plain here. Im handicapped, my autistic brain cant handle a mouse and keyboard. Even with a controller there are three things happening, moving, aiming, and shooting... I typically can only do two of those at a time, which is why I use almost exclusively automatics so i can just squeeze the trigger and focus on moving and aiming. You people and your impossible movement tricks disgust me. You tap strafe stupid fast, faster then a human body could even move, you just stand in the open and square dance around my bullets with your impossible movement.
On top of all the massive advantages you have of doing things the human body simply cannot do... with all your 'one handed sniper point blanks' closer then the barrel is long... with all the stupid impossible * you do that i never will, you cant even give me the respect of dying when i empty both mags and do a fatal amount of damage... im flat better then you when it comes to strategy, thats how a handicapped kid like me gets to 1.45kdr for the season without all the stupid * you do... im just better at war, you use stupid gimics...
