Ever since shields have been buffed, all PvP modes have been ruined! There are next to no heroes who can do damage to shields and people now only run Calhoun, Eve, and Quorra in defense teams. And since defending teams already have an unfair advantage to energy building they win 90% of the time. Something needs to be done to make this game balanced otherwise its not worth it

Dash’s friendshup with violet can hit shields either…and rex’s purple skill can to. I feel like i have seem a piercing shield person somewhere. Also i wouldnt mind what team you trying to use against them. The known problem with shielders is that they dont deal to much attack damage. Maybe if you try a damage team it will help you out?
If you use shields you can stay alive long enough to deal some damage. I dont use any of those heroes you mentioned and Im in gold 1 arena for Server 2, and first in my Plat 1 Coli. I have calhoun in coli but no eve or quorra

Quorra has no shield ability…
Quorra gain shield with the eve disk
There’s really multiple issues that at least need to be tweaked.
-
Shields post change have been extremely effective due to the energy gain. It shouldn’t be 0, but I’m not sure if 100% is the answer either.

Characters dealing more damage are giving more energy away (I.e. many mirror matches the “stronger team” will usually lose because the weaker team will be able to use active skills earlier). While I understand the logic, it really doesn’t make sense when I add a star to my team that I am potentially hurting myself. Perhaps energy gain should be per attack or based on something else. But NEVER should a mirror match be won by the weaker team (less stars, lower badge level, etc).

Anti-shield characters are not an effective counter to shields (dash and Rex are not very good). If skills are not being buffed, there needs to be another solution for anti-shields. So far it’s more damage, but then see #2. Tbh, there really should be a meta and an anti-meta. So far, there’s no good anti-meta.

Exactly. Perblue as essentially made it so that defenders pretty much win automatically with shields
