I don’t know if this happens to many of you. But everytime I use the overshield, either it strong or weak. I get you can defeat the player with the overshield with a back smack, but whenever doing 1v1, the shield doesn’t seem to help at all and just acts like a normal spartan shield.
It really needs to be worked on because honestly the overshield shouldn’t go down that quick.
What are your thoughts on the overshield? Does it need to be worked on, just leave it alone, or just never use the overshield?
Overshield can be absolutely shredded and the reason it may feel weak is because you dont get invincibility frames like in Halo 3.
But it is pretty strong still as someone can use it when they are weak to fully recover and gain the extra shield. It isn’t about being able to tank loads of shots but in a 1v1 the overshield player should win 99% of the time.
Making it better would make it OP as hell in ranked.
I’m a bit indifferent on it. I’m very glad we got rid of invulnerability frames, however this also sometimes means that during the animation half your overshield isn’t already burned.
For arena it still feels like a strong power up, especially now you can save it. In BTB it doesn’t help you win a 2v1 if they just shoot straight but it still is a great help when going for objectives.
