Riotshield Buff

[slim token]

Maybe be Able to use the stun baton along with the Riot shield?

Yes please, the riot shield is really mid as a two handed weapon, and has weird collision with your weapons if you mod it to be onehanded

[tough stratus]

should be nerfed when one handed in that case

[thin sage]

Yeah shields + melee ironically are bad

Due to how the melee swings in an arc, its incredibly likely it'll hit the shield

Damaging it

[open gust]

Mid is an overstatement

[lethal ruin]

the problem with shield is they are meant to be used with a team but the shield is always in the way of the team

[midnight fable]

1 handed shield melee works, you just have to aim the shield down

[thin sage]

Extreme jank though

[midnight fable]

not at all

[calm otter]

Making the riot shield one-handed just makes sense

[slim token]

ok

what if

the riot shield has a melee ability

where you can bash people and inflic some stun to them

or incremental stun

[open gust]

I like that go all CoD on them sons of bitches

[slim token]

i mean people don't want it to be one-handed because OP appareantly
and people feel like it's too unwieldy for the use in team play

so if the shield can bash

and stun and knock back people

it can hold the distance and the crowd control while someone else can line up their shots

(it can even counter ragdoll people to a degree)

[open gust]

Are you arguing against me? O.o
We are agreeing btw

[slim token]

no just telling you how i think about it

why i think that this would be the go-to

[lethal ruin]

it is too unwieldy because you can just stop the enemy from shoting if everyone has smg or shotgun

2 poeple can stunlock someone with smg from shooting

[slim token]

we have a 30% movement penalty while holding the shield

you can just avoid the melee range

[lethal ruin]

i know

it was not my idea
