Man, they are so useless, they are more useless than Mozambique with 1 ammo in mag, no hop up, no scope.
Seriously, unless you are far away, upclose they can't save you, they do literally nothing exept save you from dying to snipers while downed, that's the only use of them.
@damsonwhufndthis Knockdown shields should definitely be reworked, especially gold knockdown. My thoughts would've been a full dome shield that starts at 300 health for white, 400 blue, 500 purple, but you can't move while the shield is up. To counter that, crawl speed should definitely be faster, and then Gold knockdown would be the only shield that lets you crawl while shield is up.
@pastaclownsuch a buff, all they could do is at least make the shield more responsive or wider, sometimes people just strafe left and right trying to avoind my shield, and I just follow them with cursor, but most of the time they magicaly avoid or pop through shield..
a dome would be too op, you shouldn't be protected from 360° angle just because you got downed.
About that crawl speed, Rev would become meta, because he would be crawling at walking speed...
They could make the lv4 revive not so voulnerable or change it, but ask people to change something they gave an animation and feature in game..
This is why youu're severely voulnerable during the revive: first thing you do is raise your height by half and before the animation ends you are back at tall length, but still voulnerable and any noob can oneshot you while you revive yourself. Not to mention you can hear all of that happening for a pretty decent range..
Honestly if I had to change shields someho:
- it could be at least a more protection for the head, like a more sloped shape, or make the head invoulnerable while the shield is up and has Hp
- and secondly if we speak Gold knockdown, if devs think it's too op, they should add at least animation for different legends (extra work for a minor thing you barely use I know)
No, knockdown shields are fine. They are something special, given to you to have a possibility to get revived, like an extra chance. They should not be OP. If they make them stronger how can a guy finish you rapidly in the middle of a fight losing a lot of time? He should be rewarded for knocking you down, like it is now.
As for gold knockdown shields, they simply should remove it like they did it for tournaments. Getting killed by a guy who used it after you managed to win the fight (or even the game) is just unfair and it rewards luck, not skill.
The only thing they'd need to do is to fix them, sometimes bullets can go through them even if they are up, not sure if it's only because of the tickrate of if it's a proper bug.
@DarthValtrexyeah I wish it was few seconds, but it only takes one second to poke barrel through shield or get lucky and despite facing the guy he walks around you and due to latency of the server he avoids the shields
Instadeath, without any time waste for the enemy..
