Why dont they buff blitz ?

[Besoffen]

Well, as the recent balancematrix tells us, hes like the least picked op with the single worst winrate, so why ?

[TwisterCat]

I'm less on board with them buffing Blitz, and rather making him more consistent. Sometimes his ability will blind someone from their back, which is completely broken, and then sometimes it won't even blind them from the front, which is useless. And then he comes with a shield, which is already broken, as sometimes melee works against it, and sometimes, even if the shield is knocked to the side, they can still hit you, which is where a lot of my frustration comes in when teammates lose to him, because I know it's not their fault. On top of everything already stated, I've still very rarely notice from time to time that players can actually shoot through the centre of a shield if they have it knocked to the side by an impact, which makes the idea entirely useless

Because people cry and throw tantrums like a baby when they see a shield operators despite the fact that anyone who's at least decent at the game just deletes them by looking since they are super machanically bugged and weak

Ayy, you hit them on their left arm, 90% of Blitz mains will start to panic and go for a headshot or run, making it easy if they're at a distance, but the problem's when they're close range, and it might just be visual, but I find shields very glitchy

[Besoffen]

More Consistency would be great, like roughly 50% of my deaths are melees through the shield, shots that are clearly onto the shield but, i dont know how, hitting me
And often i die because on the enemys screen they shoot into my head from the side where on my screen im centered on their body.. and im playing with a 27ms ping
..

And things like that just make me angry, bec i cant do a ♥♥♥♥ about it

[PREDATOR-V]

nah, they just have to remove riot shields from this game, the game has changed a lot and they have no place anymore in this game, never will.

No

Bc he won a match in proleague so he is now forever OP

Shield's are broken so he doesn't need a buff he needs a re-balance and Ubisoft needs to fix the bugs.

Buffing shields in general is tough. I think we can look back to the Blitz buff that was introduced on the Test Server in 2018 and how much of a terror he ended up being for a few short days. I think players found the crazy buff more hilarious than frustrating, but at the core of it all, the buff was just not the direction we wanted to go with him. There's such a fine line you have to walk.

What kind of buff is everyone looking for?

[Besoffen]

Well it doesnt needs to be a buff, just make that shield be a shield, and stop knives getting through or fix the fact that people can shot your head on their screens when leaning to the side, while youre centered at them,also his ads is so damn long that everybody, litteraly everybody can shoot your head off while your not even aimed down half the way... ( hipfire isnt an option at all, which is ok and needet )
i get that shields on their own are strong, but blitz is not like montagne an op thats good for getting intel, hes like an offensive shield user, but he cant do the job montagne is doing, and when trying to be offensive hes getting blasted his head off, so he isnt really viable at that point, which just makes him a pick where like every other op is better

Well i was promissed bug fixes more than years ago how about that? or i dunno making so you can hit anything with your hipfire so defenders can't dance in your face, maybe faster reload animations or small extension in the pistol magazine and total ammo so you spend less time defenseless.

A default shield state is not good one, the odds are already stacked against them even if they play their cards but what do you care i said this already a thousand times for years don't pretend they care about feedback now.

Let me ask you this, if that buff wasn't the direction they wanted, then how is nerfing him into being WORSE then before that buff is a better option? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ how?

I killed valk by melee because hipfire at point blank melee range can't hit whats literally touching you

[Grimsdottir]

Honestly, hipfire with shields needs a buff. Despite having a lazer and sitting completely still to limit the bloom that he'd have. From medium to close range, I still feel like I can't hit a barn wall even with timed shots if I'm playing with a shield. Like the lazer is almost useless because I swear the bullets come out the side of the barrel sometimes.

If I'm sitting still. Lining up my shot on someone who is just looking at me. My lazer being on their torso or even near their neck. I'll see a bullet hole land 3ft away from their body when I should be darn near on target while sitting still while being less than 20ft away from them. Example. if I'm standing at the desk in bank and someone peaks out the door to the right that goes behind the desk and fire, I have more of a chance of hitting the lamp behind me than the person who is in front of me.

Then there is the rapid hipfire that is so random I can't explain how if you shoot fast enough, somehow the pistol becomes dead accurate. It seems completely backwards. More testing to refine pistol hipfire bloom is definitely needed. Reward someone who has taken the time to sit still and line up a shot. Not "Time to role the dice and close my eyes and spin around 3 times and maybe, I'll be close to hitting them the wall next to them"

[Besoffen]

true, and when u decide to take that risk of ads bec hipfire will miss like every of your roundabout 70 bullets or so, youll get shot while not even half through the animation.

Because shield Ops, like snipers, are completely antithesis to how the game is designed and meant to be played, and if they were removed entirely the game would be much healthier as a result.
