Hey MadDog. Definitely looks like you put a fair bit of thought in here to various problems that you see represented with shields from your side of things! To take things a step further, if you weree to have fixes or solutions to any of these problems, what would they look like?
The concept of our reworking of shield melee is definitely a new take. How do you think that change would be met by the community as a whole, combined with the fixed shield perspectives? Fully protected from the front, fully protected while meleeing which can down someone with two hits, with a more consistent pistol is a great concept, but I feel like there are folk that would feel like that could be a bit much to play against. Definitely curious to hear your and the communities thoughts on this.
