[@erisuebu]

they should half the size of the riot sheild on back like when you pull it out it extends and opens to full size and on the back it is half then no need for a nerfs. This can be then tweeked on where on the back it is positioned making it easier to kill enamies, still provides little protection and people can use it normally.

Especially because now it's only useful for turtling WHICH WAS THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.

[@Evanz111]

I think there’s a far easier solution for riot shield turtling. If the main problem is doing it to make playing with a second primary more powerful, then either increase your recoil massively if you’re getting shot from the back OR just ban it being picked with overkill entirely.

This is the only correct solution. I don’t know how more people haven’t realized that this would solve the issue completely.

one issue that I've encountered consistently mainly on shipment is the spawn locations, like I would spawn directly next to a guy and get shot at or someone would spawn right next to me or behind me and obliterate me.

[@Eontraveler]

Totally agree

[@thegreatpapyrus2306]

That’s one of the few riot shield “nerfs” that I actually agree with lol. Granted, it wouldn’t really change much but it’d make sense and just be a cool function to increase the utility of a basically useless field upgrade.

[@thefatboi777]

Talking about skill based damage, I just experienced it. The enemy ate like 7 of my P90's bullets and still standing still. While he shot me with a shotgun from a distance.

[@ThatMemeDuck]

honestly i think there’s no skill base damage i think its literally de sync ,like kill cams dont show exact shots, and melee clip was literally de sync.

[@n00bah2]

My idea for shield is to revert the changes while holding the shield, but putting it on your back would obscure your mobility: slower movement speed and you cant hang of edges. Also it would be a good idea to make this shield a bit smaller so your feet would be more visible, so while you have it on the back it would cover only torso. I know, it would make more pain while doing the challenges, but having less covered legs would mean that turtle-donkeys will have less of their back covered and have movement penalty I know not everyone would agree, but if you think about this idea is kinda good but needs a little changes, feel free to reply to this comment

[@soshsi]

I mean, I'm a main riot shield user but I believe this nerf is pretty bad. The hit detection is still bad for where this game is at rn. Mw19 has the best shield period and now it's more skill to use than ever before. I typically use it differently than the usual overkill perk user imo. The ttk is a bit better but it can be a bit more unreliable at times when in 1v1s. (They added back lock-on mechanic. See my video for examples) Making the shield show the feet is redundant if you're gonna be crouching anyways. Another mini feature is sliding around corners when running so that the shield covers your back which I think is a bit op at times but a good advanced tactic for good players. Overall it's a niche playstyle that should just be left alone bc who's really gonna win a gunfight.. a guy with a shield or a guy with a gun

[@CowKirbo]

I'm just glad I don't accidentally add an xp token when I make it to the lobby and misclick.

[@AeroHelo]

[@RynoGunner24]

they need to start excluding certain weapons being used with overkill, riot shield being one of em

[@thegreatpapyrus2306]

I’d honestly be happy if it was the only one excluded. What else do you think should be disallowed?

[@WKidd1776]

Skill based damage makes a LOT of sense to me, and explains how I can put five shots into someone's head from four paces and still lose the fight. They seriously need to get rid of that- by itself, skill based damage is going to frustrate me into leaving.

[@ethanmurphy6260]

On the riot shield nerf, they should make it decay,like if you get shot a certain amount of times it breaks

[@wilsonjoshwilson]

SBMM is legit but SBD??? That’s some tin foil hat stuff right their😂

[@AsherTheModder]

"skill based damage" sounds like NPC fear mongering

[@MegaPB4Life]

My idea for the riot shield has been this. When you switch away from it, have it collapse into itself on your back instead of covering 3/4 of your player. Let it cover your upper back and nothing else. That way it is still somewhat helpful to have on your back for niche moments, but doesn't make it as overpowered as it is now since people can just easily aim slightly below your upper back which is still a decent size hitbox on a player. It also doesn't just remove the feature entirely to make using it on your back irrelevant. Edit: As a regular rocket league player with over 1000 hours in rocket league, the mode feels awful and slow lol. It's fun it's a joke mode and I've had some good laughs but compared to rocket league, it's not even close just for anyone whose curious. I will say, it's cool to see these joke modes though!

[@yzo0001]

With skill based damage it sometimes is pretty stupid that some enemies take a full mag to kill while others are dead with 2/5 bullets when you shoot at the same spot and every bullet hits.

[@justinburley8659]

The meme has gone way too far. There is no such thing as skill based damage, footsteps, or hit detection. It is all inconsistencies with the game being brought on by then releasing an unfinished project. We need to attack the real problem and stop playing the game until it is fully polished.

[@Killzees]

Yeah I honestly feel like it’s an issue with the servers

[@MadMax0417]

As soon as I heard about SBMM being in cod I was skeptical, and now with these allegations of skill based health/damage.. idk if ill keep playing. It makes so much more sense now how some games as soon as I turn a corner it seems like I die instantly, and other games I can easily get 70 kills.

[@LegacyWarfare]

I actually did the riot shield challenges on shipment as I needed melee weapons. it is obviously harder, but not much harder, just running double smokes and the smoke drop field upgrade creates enough chaos you can easily get double kills and kills from behind

[@Pckledaddy]

At this point it is no surprise to me we are facing these problems. Even though some of these problems may be minuscule in another sense they can be major. Nonetheless I am still having a great time playing even when I do play bad and that’s what has made me so fond of this CoD.

[@Derekorbe1]

Perfect solution for riot shield. You can't prone while having it on your back, so choose drop shot or turtle

[@thegreatpapyrus2306]

I don’t think that’s the best solution, but let’s add onto it by just making it so you can’t use it with overkill either. Knifers don’t really prone anyways, so I’d be fine with not being able to prone since I have no need to do it, but people who use pistols could still abuse it, so why not?

[@Derekorbe1]

@@thegreatpapyrus2306 does that mean you can only pick up secondary weapons if you have the shield?

[@dimitrisoikonomou3568]

How about removing the riot shield use with overkill...? Nothing good ever came by having immunity for more than half of your body (even more if you crouch or prone). It also breaks the hit registration of shotgun pellets...

I swear I was playing multiplayer well, after the update I was getting destroyed. And it kept happening game after game. I had to step away. Same thing happened with MW, and I quit playing it. It’s just so frustrating.

[@Conquered]

it's just the small shit that annoys me... Like before season 1 relaoded update, to mute the entire lobby during the game you'd just pull up the scoreboard and press X or Square. It would take a fraction of a second. Now after the update, you have to go to the scoreboard, press X, then press another button and exit out of both screens/menus. So now when someone joins the game mid-match with a terrible microphone that is loud asf, I can't just immedieetly mute them because I risk dying. Before it used to barely be a risk because of how fast it was, now I have to get in an area I know I'll be safe in and spend a second muting the lobby (again because when someone joins you have to KEEP MUTING THE LOBBY OVER AND OVER). It might not sound like a big deal at all, I mean it;s just one second, but one second is how quickly you can get gunned down in this game.

[@GunmetalEar]

There's 2 possibilities. Skill based damage as mentioned working as shown or phantom hit markers. Phantom hit markers is a term I came up with from older bf and cod due to lag creating false hits. You'd hit on your end, but the server wouldn't validate it so you'd watch killcam and they'd be untouched. It could always be a server connection issue invalidating attacks.
