I've been a longtime player, since D1 Day 1. I've tolerated a lot in my time, and forgiven A LOT. Volatile Shield Tradeoff is one of the only things that has me upset enough to chime in, and ask for its removal.
It makes for an unappealing gameplay experience, especially in Fireteam Ops, when random team members don't recognize the debuff, or blatantly ignore you.
This was a big miss by the design team, and creates a lot of negative ill will towards other players, and toward the game itself.

I think the modifier is fine in something like conquests where you are usually communicating with others and playing as a team but in matchmade activities I just orbit the moment I notice its active. When I'm playing matchmade general portal activities I don't want to have to have my nose right up the blueberries behinds just so they can disarm me because my health went critical, I just want to run around and kill stuff and if I do die its w/e.
