I want a buff for the dozer
I would like the concussion grenade to not work when using the shield. I used a translation for this text, sorry if it was not clear.

Is that the best you can come up with? Not cool...
@yorokoba Why do you think this? I end up flashing myself more than the enemy with this crazy thing and when you do manage to hit the enemy, it does next to nothing. It's really pointless....
- @Echo6Echo c'mon. Who really think that dozer needs a buff? he is virtually indestructable from the front. Sure, side-step shoot when he charges, or C5, but if he crouches and just sits there he is like a rock. nothing kills him. So maybe use the flash-bang to blind him and get the jump on him (as the flash-bangs intended use)? It's bad enough frag grenades have no effect, but now this guy thinks that somehow Dozers shield should have magical resistance against blinding effects too? CRAZY, I SAY!!!!!!!
- @Echo6Echo Oh, and I am sorry if i can't express MY opinion on the fact that HIS idea is nuts.
(This is from a discussion on Reddit we had about Dozer, initiated by me)..
Let's talk about Dozer...
OK, let's talk about this guy. I'm just going to list the things that irk me and my suggestions:
* He carries a Ballistic shield and clearly wears a ballistic suit - surely he should be the one who has armour plates as standard, not Irish/ formerly Angel?
* He is pretty useless unless in tight, confined spaces - shield up, his turn speed is slower, his movement speed is slower, generally an easy target. He is flanked very easily and obviously his little toes poke out making him vulnerable - give him more armour.
* When moving without his shield (I assume it is stowed on his back) - make him bullet proof from the back? He is still exposed front and side but he carries a gun in two hands.
* I play with FOV @ 105 but with shield up I still cannot see around the edges. This makes it really difficult to turn in time to react to a flank. I wouldn't like to think what it's like at a lower FOV! I appreciate that to M&K players this is less of a problem, but for those controller players it's a real detractor.
* Give him the ability to shoot with his pistol, shield up. That would definitely put the fear of God into people.

Please no
No one should be invulnerable to being flanked
- @CloverDeuce
Dozer is the most bottom tier specialist in the game because he has close to no use outside of maybe a tight corridor.
Meanwhile we are expected to kill 600 people (or ~300 bots and 300 people with that shield by bashing them to death. I'm all for buffing Dozer, but this concussion nade buff wouldn't even move the needle for me.
Doz needs something substantial, something interesting for me to consider choosing him. Perhaps he just doesn't fit my playstyle.
- @CloverDeuce Dozer doesn’t need a buff. In the right conditions he’s an armadillo killing machine, almost unstoppable without C-5. If he’s not in close quarters / inside buildings then his shield is useless. Paiks power is short range. Rao is limited. Liz stands in the open while steering. Boris runs away from his gun (plus its nerfed to garbage). Obviously my point is all the specialists have weaknesses and strengths and they should. A buff for Dozer indeed. This isn’t supposed to be a hero shooter game, it’s a darn war arcade game. Now go frag eh!
