I'm done with Volatile Shield Tradeoff.

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.

    The modifier literally increases your shield so much that the damage it takes to pop your shield would flat out kill you. Any time you get volatile shielded, you would have flat out died without the modifier. It's a second chance to live. (Just read the patch notes. It lets us attack with guns and gives us devour now. The modifier is insanely broken now)
