Implemented Shields

[Wxndernut]

I believe that shields at the moment are still OP and generally make the conquest experience less fun for most people. Even with the buffed shield disable nerf it doesn't really change much especially with the loka damage, if you pull out an axe to disable an experienced shield player simply crits you in the face and with Loka damage half of your health is gone. Secondly even if you do manage to disable their shield a lot of them simply turn around and run until their shield is back or just pearl away.
What I am proposing is a nerf to shields so that when you carry a shield in your offhand you have slowness 1. One of the main issues with shields is that it's essential to get charges I think this nerf would make it less viable to use a shield in actual conquest but still allow for people to play objective and get charges.
I really think that most people can agree that shields just make conquest less fun and I hope this starts a conversation about shields thanks for reading.

remove them entirely

 

[Wxndernut]

remove them entirely

sever would be more fun BUT that isn't going to happen so I think this is the best of both worlds and a good compromise

i remember the good days where the only out of the ordinary thing to happen was someone flew out of the warp lightning in an elytra

not have to run from the shield players cause unless they quickdrop its statistically impossible to kill them

I think the problem is when you're trying to disable a shield you have to take 3 crits to do so making you automatically lose, you can even get yourself quickdropped against a good shield player. I think there should be a cooldown for how long you can put up a shield after putting it down, maybe like a second so that you can't shield crit shield crit shield crit.

Digging down use shield underground new meta soo balanced.

this is the best argument against shields and i've debunked it 1000 times but again i have splitting migraine and am hyper coviddile rn so i dont feel like writing an essay over loka. good argument overall though, i would rate it 8.3/10

Make it so you take damage through shields but not knockback so you can still use it for a advantage if your insane with it but its not a major one

 

[Asynchronized]

just remove them altogether and see how much better conquest becomes
