Dozer Ballistic Shield Bash Nerf
Since the latest update, Dozer has been buffed allowing him to bash players @ 2 meters distance. This has become quite annoying because it doesn't allow the opponent to escape on a 1vs1 situation and...

A shield is a defensive weapon, as such it should never be a 1HK, it should have weak offensive capabilities as a tradeoff for it's superb defensive power. Since the new patch I see a lot of players using it as an effective offensive weapon, obviously because of the absurd 1HK, the ridiculous range and movement speed.
They messed up bad.
You can shoot the shield holder in the foot a fair few times they do not flinch?
They then tap you with a shield your dead!!
@Kunstula I'll never stop saying it, the new range is awful and too unrealistic. Dozer is out of reach and still can bash the s**t out of you 😞. Previously a well timed jump could have been a good counter-attack, now it's nearly impossible especially when in a tight enclosed environment. As for 1HK it was never a big issue pre-buff, but now with the increased movement speed maybe it should be a 2HK?! Definitely I would bring the range back to what it was and then see how that will work, before changing the damage output.
Dozer is fine. Seriously, not hard to run away from at all or countering. I play him alot and get killed or escaped by those that know how to. I do the exact same when I see a Dozer running against me. Maybe play him for a few hours to learn how others counter him.
