Clash is the only shield operator, popular among only trollers mostly. She has an pretty low pick rate and I believe she could use some changes to fix that.
New Gadget: Her shield is now replaced by the ECG-MK9 (Electric Combat Gauntlet), a glove that can slow down enemies just like her shield, but it does more damage as well as making enemies slightly slower than the shield did. Like Aruni's robotic arms, the ECG can create bigger holes than normal when you punch with it, though not as much as Aruni to keep that ability unique to her. When the gauntlet is electrified, however, the outskirts of the hole are temporarily electrified, and deals 1 damage every 3 seconds. When she activates her gauntlet, a animation plays where she lifts her hand up, then balls it into a fist, which electrifies it.
Loadout:
SMGS: P90
Shotguns: ITAL12L
Pistols: P-10C
Machine Pistols: SPSMG9
Elite Set: Unbeaten Warrior
Card: Shows Clash frowning at the screen while shoving her fist towards it.
Appearance: Shows her wearing a black tactical suit with a black helmet and mask, and wearing a tactical backpack.
MVP animation: Shows her shoving her fist up into the air, activating, and then punching it into the ground, making the environment darker so the electricity is illuminated and the sound and movement being in slow motion, then moving to normal speed and shows Clash folding her arms.
I disagree.
She is a defensive shield that forces people to coordinate as a team. Alone, she is easy to counter through encirclement movements and simply just walking up to her, bashing her shield, and taking shots at her exposed limbs. But with teammates, she is formidable as you have to work around the mobile wall that she is. A very angry and foul mouthed wall.
She doesn't really get used by trolls, instead she is used by people who want to support their team but not take credit for the kills, instead denying the Attackers a swift advance by blocking the door or hallway and slowing them down until help can arrive.
In ranked, she is one of the most popular banned operators I have seen, considering how much of a nuisance she is and how many people don't know how to deal with her; but that is mainly because the majority of players that go into Unranked or Ranked are either not fully squad-queueing with friends and are thus not fully coordinated OR they have a fear that her shield glitch can come back at any moment.
She is not impervious, just frustrating to deal with.
@Dreux Phoenix Couldn't have said it better myself.
Hmm... Yeah, I guess so... The only problem is people still don't use her a lot. Maybe a buff will do?
People also don't use her alot because she lacks a Primary Weapon. Meaning that you have to use either a Pistol or a high-recoil Machine Pistol... which most players don't like. Plus, because she is a shield Operator, and they had to nerf her, she is technically a 3-Armor / .8-Speed Operator... She is literally the slowest moving character in a game where the meta is a bunch of people wanting to hog the 3-Speeds for quicker lean/crouch spamming while quickpeeking and strafing.
She is literally the worst pick for the 14-year olds that dominate the game's population. Whereas if you are a team player who understands that Siege is a team game, she is one of the best picks. Her slow speed and lack of a primary means you have to dedicate your role as an Objective Anchor rather than a Roaming Defender.
Probably is best to buff clash (bc She is the only shield defensive operator) and add a new gun like akimbo deagle or uzi
They are probably going to save dual deagles for a new op
I have that somewhat as an Joke Operator... (here's hoping that Ubi doesn't make another one of my jokes a reality. ORYX was enough of a stretch)
AKIMBO - A guy who watches WAY too many John Wu movies and now dual wields everything. He is equipped with dual-LMGs, dual-ACS-12s, dual PDW9s, dual-D-50s, and dual-SMG-11s. He cannot aim down sight and reloading takes longer, but there isn’t really much a reason to worry about such things.
Without the shield the slow down effect would be useless. You’d be better off just shooting the person your trying to slow down. Clash kinda Dosent need to be nerfed. At her core she’s balanced (not being able to shoot with the shield, long time to switch from shield to gun), but the concept of a portable see through shield in defense is just hard to fight against.
What do you think?
