[2020] Would an Ubi representative care to explain the Shield nerfs?

Hey all, I had reached out for additional clarity on the shield situation, as you have made everything about how you have felt very clear, and want to emphasize that this thread and your feedback has been noted.

The developer's notes highlighted why we made these changes.

As quoted
"We are aware that shields are often a source of frustration, and we hope that the new guard break mechanism will improve this aspect. Our goal is also to improve teamwork and find new interesting ways to play with a shield and for the benefit of your team."

You have all been very vocal about your thoughts on changes to shields, and, in particular, what you aren't enjoying about them, and we appreciate your insight. However, as it currently stands, that is the answer we currently have.

Currently, the only information I have been given is what I have provided already.
