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.
@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.

- 3 years ago@93v3jwj4v22r I've been quite good in countering throughout the lifespan of the game, also now after the buff. At the same time I believe that the range buff is not right. Imagine you shooting a player with a gun and the hit box of the character is also offset 1 meter around the player body. I believe as you need to land your bullets on the player model to deal damage, you need also to connect your shield bash to the body and be rewarded with the kill. Now it feels like a cheap kill.
Btw, overall, I like the Dozer buff.- Trokey663 years agoSeasoned Ace
Perhaps, and this is just a thought here, but perhaps after last week's requirement to get 20 melee kills, halfed if Dozer used, people realised Dozer could be fun to use so more are using him?
Again just a thought because the gods forbid anyone having fun in Battlefield.....
