Riot shield meta was very bad and we had alot of members asking for change in the form of suggestions to nerf it. When nerfing the riot shield I made it so the users walk and run speed while holding out the riot shield is the same as to allow for more tactical plays with such item, rather than seeing 1 CI sprinting and doing loops around MTF in EZ etc etc. I Personally think its in a perfect state, it should be used for pushing hallways with teammates or covering allies in danger, not crazy solo plays.
