Hey Tassadar! I don't think we have announced anything publicly. Do you think that making a headshot impossible with shield ops might tilt things a little too much in their favor in a lot of engagements?

So, the way I see the alternative proposed, is that if you can't headshot someone or dispose of them in a certain manner, with the shield, You're going to get a lot of frustration around shields being overpowered. They protect a large chunk of the body from taking hits, and have some good utility as far as hitting and downing people. Being aware of the enemy location and angles can be a point of frustration while playing shield ops, but I also feel like a Blitz that is invincible from a head on angle while approaching you crouched and then blinding you before you can work a way to attack him out would be equally frustrating from the other side.

Naturally, we are always open to opinions, so I'm happy to hear some suggestions on how shields could be better in a manner that works out well not just for the person holding the shield, but also does't feel unbalanced from the other side as well.

What i saying is buff his shield a little to protect from these impossible headshots, thats all, people could kill him with traps, ambush, 2 players working in group, unless you saying its ok for anyone kill him firing on his leg while crouched or just headshot him while he is facing you(without aiming)

So, I do see where you're coming from with the frustrations here, and I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad idea, I'm just opening things up for alternative discussion points.

That being said, how often do you feel that, as someone whom plays a shield op frequently, you are killed by any of the alternative means you've proposed?
