I am sick of being killed through my shield by operators using a shotgun it is completely ridiculous if an operator gets point blank range with a shield operator and just spam fires their shotgun and wins the firefight because they have a semi automatic shotgun. Because honestly I should be able to knife them but that's never how the scenario plays out.

Shield user complaining about shotguns...

Sheild operators need to have their draw time nerfed significantly. As it stands it takes no ability to use a shield operator.

Honestly the only reason to why you die is because of your incompetence as a shield user. (no offense) as a shield user beating a shotgun user is easy. The defender will most likely rush towards you so you'll have to back up. While backing up you point your shield at angle while turning to keep straight. It's more effective to point it straight just don't let him hit your sides. When he goes to reload the kill is yours

Are you high? Shield operators are the easiest operator to flank, out maneuver, nitro cell and to rush, and if you even think about aiming you get insta head shot, shield operators also have to constantly think about how to maneuver around the enemy. You are absolutely insane if you think using a shield takes no skill.

None taken, however Let me give you another situation Im looking at pulse directly I don't aim whatsoever and he is in the center of the room and I am at the window, he fires three times as I'm looking at him and lands a headshot somehow, and that first scenario wasn't incompetency I was next to a window while a defending operator hopped out of the window the only option I had was to knife him, or rather attempt to knife him.

Shields are a support weapon. All the things you listed are easy to deal with when using a shield they are meant to be used. Stack with another attacker and move as one. Call out what you see and he calls out what he sees.

Shield users should never run as a rogue operator, that's just asking for an in game death. When working with a partner/group correctly, they can be very effective as they often draw a lot of attention from a team. If you draw a shotgunner/or anyone's attention, they should be easy pickings for a teammate with a good angle from a flanking position. Shield operators are not meant to get 2-3 kills a round, they are meant to win rounds by staying alive and causing disruption.

So. Let me see if I understand this. You're standing at a window, not aiming, shield up. He then shoots you three times, with your shield up and gets a headshot.

You have a video? Because I don't buy that.

Move as one, die as one to Nitro cells.
