Make the riot shield have damage reduction instead of blocking damage entirely - Denied


Bossatron1924

Recommended Posts

What are you suggesting? - Have the riot shield have some sort of damage reduction to health instead of blocking it, so people can't camp down a hall after loosing all their armor. Like having it at maybe a 50% damage reduction.

How would this change better the server? - It can stop camping from down the halls and make pushes a little more coordinated but risky because of the damage reduction instead of negating it.

Are there any disadvantages of making this change to the server? If so, explain. - It might reduce the amount of riot shield users, because currently riot shield only takes armor away and not health, requiring users to actually plan their actions if they use the riot shield, as if this is implemented, riot shield users might need to avoid large amounts of people.

Who would this change mostly benefit? - Riot shield users (spammers)

Please link any workshop content, screenshots, or anything that you think may be helpful to those who view this suggestion -N/A

-support kinda ruins the point of the riot shield, if you take damage it'll be useless. This same suggestion was made and denied already. It already has a movement speed reduction, this would just render it useless.

You can't attack at all when you have it out, and at close range people can just strafe around you repeatedly getting off shots on your side, and if there's 2 people it's completely ineffective.

Sorry mate, I understand that it doesn't make any sense at all that a plexiglass shield will block any and all bullets but this would just throw it out into the garbage can. Now if they change the swep to something that looks more heavy, something like Montagne's shield from R6, I'd be all for it. (Not saying that they should add another swep and sell it, just replace the current one with something more realistic).

+I get why you would want it nerfed if its your first time going against it however

-If they take out the shield to run away you can out speed them easily and if they change weapons you can just shoot because of drawing lag

-It costs money sooo they gotta get what they payed for 

-Legit, if you're on any class besides D class and there is any combatant with you then you can easily counter it

-Has been suggested before and got denied

-Not needed

-support, as someone who plays Nu-7 and goes against the Riot Shield basically every day (almost all Delta use this tool when in tight situations) I believe the riot shield to be balanced and in a good place, a buff or a nerf would be unwelcome at the moment. I think the riot shield is fine as it is, and shouldn't be changed.
