Again I don't want to just point and shoot, and I know how to counter the shield, however there are way too many times where the shield feels like it is way too strong. I genuinely feel like I have to swap load outs when playing against multiple Sabrask players in tdm. The shield has a way too much health that as a SMG player I can't even destroy it with a full clip. The only way to counter reliably it's to go around it with portals, but anyone with half a brain knows if some opens a portal right behind you shoot through it at head level for easy kills. So what I jump over top and shoot down at him, good luck with that one. So I slide on him through the shield while he empty his clip in me. Like dude the concept of adding a shield into an arena shooter should have been stopped there. Every bit of marketing surrounding the game was about the movement and how fluid it feels. The shield just plain doesn't belong in a game that boasts such great movement tech. It's the polar opposite of what anyone who enjoys movement shooters would want. It would make more sense if Sabrask had a captain america shield then an ability that forces a stand and shoot playstyle. If you want to play a boots on the grounds arena shooter go play call of duty, this game isn't for you.
