Fix Shields vs melee

[Handsoap]

Gundam and GM shield dont block any damage from exia, barb or zaku 2 regardless of the melee ability please fix OR please add anti stun when shielding.... I can always dodge but when theres literally all 3 melees W keying its impossible to stop them especially when barb has the most stuns in the game. ALSO I KNOW ZAKU 2 SAYS BREAK SHIELDS but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ barb and exia dont but yet damage still applies through them while facing their direction.

Melee is the intended shield counter.

I just want melee Zaku to not bypass shields with his long range swipes.

It goes through players as well, so it seems unlikely.

watch the show beside seed and see what happened to shield when it hit by standard melee

Like the game care about the lore. Critical hits being in the head instead of the cockpit etc

In the intro cinematic Mahiroo blocks Zaku II's axe with it's heel. We aren't going by any sort of logic in this game.

It feels too strong of a counter and there's already a lot of counters to shield like gundams mace... Melee just feels way too strong in general.

The problem is that melee is the everything counter.

Shields are an easy burn and are not op, they are literally just extra hp. The Zaku 2 can 1 vs 1 Sazabi easily... the main issue is that melee literally just ignores shields which is what 3 different MS are based on. Rx-78-2(gundam) literally can only shield or stun as an ability and if hes fighting a melee then the only thing its got is a 10 sec cd stun. Makes it pointless to even play shields if melee is the meta rn running all 3 melee. Poor GM too, entire kit is a support tank with utility and a weak weapon... without its shield to hide behind it just dies. Literally rocked a GM today who couldn't fight back because I was chipping hp THROUGH the shield as Zaku melee without the need to even guard tackle. Even G maneuvers, Barb gets free kills because you cant shield its sword, or Zaku 2 with the spin.

It's not. Unless you're bad.

Most suits have a way to deal with a melee unit. Pale Rider and Zaku can grenade and then gun them to death. Sazabi can axe. Turn A can grab and stun. Guntank can dash and punch. The transformers can literally just fly away. Gundam can hammer. Etc.

Also, Zaku Melee has a move that disables your shield. So even if shields worked against melee, a Melee Zaku can still punch your shield away instantly.

If I'm so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad at the game then why is it putting me in matches of people of high skill. Its not at all fun or helps improvement when and entire team of melee controls the match. I wanna play against people who are my skill level.
