The Shields need a nerf

Instead of the typical

  • nerf shield health
  • buff damage in general
  • buff a couple of dps
  • increase cooldowns
  • increase shields recharge rate

You should gain ult charge for destroying shields completely. The ultimates are the strongest abilities in the game and shields slow down your ability to get them. Shield-less tanks can’t block damage as much. So they’re easy to gain ult charge off of them. If road hog can’t hook you. He’s just an ult battery. Its easier to press a button to put a shield up than hook someone. Rein holds more value than road hog because he block more damage and denied more ult charge.

Characters like soilder is hard counter by shields. And soilder have no abilities to help him flank or get high ground in certain maps.

Shield-less tanks aren’t soft throwing
no more. People wouldn’t have to flank or get high ground all the time to gain a good amount of ult charge.

Nerfing shields would literally open the game for more characters. Especially shield-less tanks.

You realize shields blocking and preventing ults is one of the shields main job

Why should they stop 100% of ult charge?

I’d go a different route to adjust shields/armor. Ever play borderlands?

Side note: if you made people get ult charge off of damaging shields at all you’d need to make it so tanks got ult charge for blocking or absorbing damage.
