Riot shield needs a nerf

[MothMan]

I've never had a problem with Riot shields in games but in this game they are way to OP. I pretty sure i'm not alone on this.

I think the riot shields are very balanced as of now even though i don't personally play shield-wearers (except Fuze as he can opt out of using a shield). There are multiple ways of dealing with the riot shields as a defender.

1. C4-charges. This is the easiest way of dealing with a shield-wearer as you can easily throw them towards the enemy or even through windows/doorways.
2. Flanking. Even though not every single operator can use the C4, EVERYONE can flank the shield-operators and there is nothing as easy as taking down a shield from behind.
3. Melee. If you don't have the option to C4 or flank, you can always go for the melee attack that will stagger the guy wearing a shield. This will open him up for gunshots or you can go for multiple melee attacks.
4. (Only applies to Blitz/Fuze) just shoot through the shield. The glass is not bulletproof and you can get headshots by aiming at it. You can also hit their feet under their shield if they are not crouching and even if they are crouching, parts of their body will be uncovered while moving.

Riot shields only seem OP if you panic and start attacking them front on. Keep your head calm and you will never have a problem with riot shields in the future.

Some classes dont have C4
Flanking can be hard on certain maps
Melee is super risky and they can also melee you back
I didn't know that there glass wasnt bullet proof so I shall try that from know on

Ya but in real life shields can taking a beating only thing that ive seen break them is like a .50cal round. If I could change it I would make it to where shooting a shield with a LMG or shotgun at point blank would stagger them or something like that, or give someone an armor piercing round like a class thats made for taking out shields.

Close range shotgun blast has the potential to stagger and make someone drop a shield, that would be better.

It would be another reason to use a shotgun since they kinda suck on there dmg side

so....you still not know that it weak against rushing knife ? even flash shield is useless and no effect when some one go crazy and knife it. honestly, i think it very lucky this game not let us can jump like other games.

All bullets can penetrate the shields except against Montagnes shield.

I've emptied an entire mag of Tachanka's turret into Blitz's glass and nothing happened.
