Receiving damage while shielding

If an enemy knight horizontally slashes at your direction and you horizontally shield at his direction you will deflect 100% of the damage.

If an enemy knight horizontally slashes at your direction and you diagonally shield at his direction you will deflect 50% of the damage.

That's a useful way to people stop complaining about the shield being made out of "paper" and no one could complain anymore about jab spammers.

 

Actually, the complaints about the paper shield is because there is a high ping - netcode malfuntionating - they didn't really shield in time.
Not because the shield doesn't works.

 

Y'know, diagonal doesn't really exist, it's just the fusion between the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. Sometimes my ping is basically zero and I get hit very often while shielding.

Edit: Also, I don't want to feed my frustrations and shield for no results. 50% of the actual damage while diagonally shielding should be fine.

 

wtf is this post, I don't even see whether you're against the suggestion or not

 

he's pointing out a flaw in the reasoning behind the suggestion (shields not working cause lag)
not that difficult to see

 

One of the things that bothers me is that shielding bombs diagonally down can be very hit or miss... a lot of the time you end up with 3 hearts damage. I haven't actually gotten around to testing all angles with bombs, but if bombs aren't meant to be shielded in that way, it shouldn't look like the sprite is ready to absorb the blast and then deal 3 hearts. Will test later and probably edit this post.
