    We do not share the same builds actually. Its just a lie they want you to believe.

    There has to be a way to balance it. I agree about hip fire being almost useless but if it was as accurate as maybe it should be, shields would be way OP. Maybe make hip fire accurate but make suppression strong when the shield is being shot so the defender has a chance in the exchange. I dunno, shield balance has always been tough and probably always will be.

    Dude i know how to play with shields hence the reason i say its not needed. Shields are broken on console the only reason i dont argue that they need more nerfs is cause i understand that theyre underwhelming on pc and unfortunately we share the same builds.
    Okay since i know this has become a discussion of balance between consoles and PC i can understand a bit more your view, it just bothers me that at this point blitz has been pretty much more nerfed than buffed and he's going to end up worse than he was when he got the sprint (not the 2 armor/ 1.25 speed we have) when they said that they didn't want to make him worse than before whne he already is

    The entire problem is that they tried to make a 100% offensive shield. So what happens is hes either UP so ppl can deal with him or hes OP because its not hard to get up close and personal. Right now especially on console hes in that op state. Like in that clip on plane rook did everything right nailed me with an impact and managed to get one shot on me before i flashed and he still lost like thats wholly bs.

    But yeah that's why i dont push hard for specific nerfs. Shields and shotties are way stronger on console currently but i understand that theyre underwhelming on pc.

    Blitz is a different story

    Frankly, he should be brought back to 3 armor, and revert the flash changes (stronger flash)

    They made him 2-speed because his pick rate was rock bottom, and that was because shields, as a whole, sucked
    Monty at least has a tactical use with blocking doorways and what not

    But shields are trash RN, as such, Blitz was trash. They cheesed him up, and now he is either broken or UP

    Welp ubisoft doesn't care that shields can't hit the broad side of a barn i guess, i say this as hipfire can miss people litreally at melee distance

    SHIELD HIP-FIRE


    • Hip-fire cone increased.
    • We have standardized the hip-fire penalization when you have a Ballistic Shield equipped. Having a shield equipped will now increase it by the same amount. Spread has increased for every Operator when a shield is equipped, but Fuze, Montagne and Blitz will be the most impacted by the change.



    They already can't shoot right when shield is equipped at melee distance. How can you make it worst?

    I tried the shield yesterday. Will never play them again.

    1. Hip-fire is completely useless even at melee range
    2. Blitz shield is way too small. I don't want something big like Mountain, but when moving with Blitz, you can be easily killed by the side and netcode is not helping. Example; I saw someone stuck in a corner, I flashed him with Blitz, I went on him and decided to attack with my shield... BUT THE MELEE ATTACK IN THIS GAME IS SO BROKEN that I'm just slipping on the other guy and he was able to kill me in two shots because my shield wasn't protecting me anymore. Or sometime they are just shooting my shoulder which is stupid since a shield should protect you.
    3. Now that you can't one-shot enemies with a shield, it's completely useless, since you are loosing time to hit the guy again.
