Denied up the riot shield damage

[fyzar]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:

up the riot shield damage to 26.5
slow down the attack speed by like 0.7s

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?
no

Possible Positives of the suggestion (at least 2):
- more people dying to shields
- doesnt need 8+ hits to down someone
- non-lethal riot control tool becomes lethal

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- more people dying to shields
- toxic shield meta if somehow messed up horribly
- non-lethal riot control tool becomes lethal

Based on the Positives and Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
while its purpose is riot control, and being non-lethal, it fails at riot control because people who are on the receiving end are just going to keep doing whatever they were doing anyway as the measly 15 damage is something to scoff at, upping the damage makes people think about stopping whatever they are doing as 4 hits would be enough to maul you. also who gaf about it being non lethal like deadass

I would be fine with this if there was a way for d class to wrestle for it or it has a chance to drop if the user dies.

Hi @fyzar,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion.

The Content Team has chosen to deny your suggestion due to the following reason(s):

As you did say riot shields are for riot control and meant to be used non lethally, we don't want to change this fact. They are low damage for a reason.​
