So I was playing around and had a thought: Would it help the faraway players if the shield bubble shows up only when the server registers your action to shield? (or measuring the average ping and estimating the time needed for the action to reach the server, then delay the bubble showing for that amount of time)
I mean, it might give a good gauge on how early you have to bring the shield up, and also explain the OMG I SHIELDED FIRST STUPID ONE BAR PING fuss.
Only forseeable problem I think is players might think it's a legit attribute and gets the swiftsrike because it increases attack speed (which sould mean faster shielding).
no
