I need to clarify, they’re not OP, but they’re extremely Polarizing to character diversity
It forces a meta among Heroes, it being Forcing everyone who can to run shields to run them
Shields essentially shut down a Ratling Gunner, but not having a shield ends up in you getting destroyed by them
This really needs to change to encourage higher variety
Damage should be reduced back to 0.75 dmg per shot, but now bullets will be able to penetrate shields once the Hero runs out of stamina, this way Ratling Gunners can still perform their job of pinning a hero down, but not making it a nightmare for those who aren’t/can’t run shields
Also please make bots take 50% less damage from them, it’s very easy to abuse
