Thats overkill when all you need is the rest of your team to be oblivious to the one enemy running across the field just to sneak up behind you and palnt the C5 which is most of the time.
The unbreakable shield, the one-shot, fast shield bash, and the ability to sprint with little to no threat to the player makes that character an absolute nightmare to fight. He really needs a nerf imo. I absolutely lost it when I saw that Dozer's shield can block a tank round.
no lol I dont even play him in any other mode but rush but its always kind of a comedic relief to see a dozer run into a fight even if its you he's facing off with lol
It is very frustrating to play against, the shield shouldn't be able to deflect underbarrel grenades nor rockets let alone tank shells! That is beyond ridiculous. Also melee range is insane
It's something I discovered eons ago and forgot about it, It seems that some rounds on shotguns can pierce right through the shield. You may want to try to play shotgun
The knife is sort of a melee weapon and it one shots from any distance, and you can one shot melee any enemy with any melee if you can get behind them.
It honestly shocked me the shield one shots. Idk why so many games have a guy with a heavy shield be able to one shot. It’s like the operator is made of titanium and be able to block explosives.
I kinda think it's fine how Dozer is after the buff. The problem is that nobody freaking uses stuff like the M2 which causes enemy vehicles and Dozers get away with server murder lol. They used reverse psychology and buffed Dozer to teach the Battlefield community how to destroy vehicles, haha =P.
@@NippleSauce There is basically no counter play when you run into a dozer at close range. He can run at you and you can't jump around him anymore like you used to be able to. Dozer is problematic and needlessly annoying. Screw anyone except engineers when running into Dozer I guess? That's not good balance. The problem isn't that Dozer can 'get away with server murder', the problem is that he's basically impossible to deal with in a 1v1 unless the Dozer makes a massive misplay. Some 1K/D Andy can easily get a kill on a 6K/D player just by being in annoying spots. No skill required.
It's a melee weapon. One hit is fine. Maybe the changing sprint speed with the shield would be a more "fun" adjustment. It's fun and satisfying to splat people. It's the same being able to run away, IF you see it coming.
1:54 I legitimately thought you somehow went into 3rd person with the riot shield. Your arms went down as you switched weapons, and another player with a shield clipped through you lol!
Instead of making it so the shield can take all of the shots they should make it so there’s a stamina bar. And when the bullets are hitting the shield it decreases the stamina until there is none left. If you run out of stamina you can’t have the shield out until it regains.
Or like a reload timer. Hit twice and then wait like 30 seconds until you can use the shield for offense again. Use it to shield only during the wait or switch to your gun.
The Riot Shield has ever been "OP" since the BF4 days. But well they nefted it by changing the "Bullet Ploof Grass" to just "Soda Glass" and it been forgotten as soon as it started getting popular like in a month.
I mean a gravity defying wing-suit and an indestructible shield with an immovable object of a man that seems to have the mass of the sun. They really strayed far from what battlefield should be with these "operators" or whatever you wanna call them.
I think rounds to the shield viewing window (headshots) should penetrate after something 3-4 rounds. In a small space there is almost nothing you can do to stop it. Also it should require at least two hits with the shield to kill so at least you can take a hit then try and get behind him where he is vulnerable.
I could swear I headshot a Dozer through the glass the other day. Maybe it was the hit box glitching through though. I think I was using armour piercing rounds on an assault rifle
The balance should be that the bash isn't 1 shot + there's a stamina penalty when holding it so that if you have the shield out constantly you can't bash with it when you have 0 stamina. Then you can use it the way you're supposed to, down corridors etc to push and open flanks. Personally I've had a blast playing as Dozer, especially in the Dozer vs Dozer shield fights but it really is OP xD.
I guess when they call it a ballistic shield they are referring to its apparent ballistic propellant which allows it to crush combatants on the other side with incredible force.
If it works for you, then the dozers you are playing against must be f**king idiots to run into literal fire. the dozers I play against just wait for the fire to go out before they attack me. Also: not everyone can run around with incendiaries, you know, some people run frags, flashes, smokes, aka: grenades that have more uses than countering one guy with a shield who should not have been this strong in the first place?
I saw the video title on my phone and thought "but Jack already did a Dozer video, what's he done this time?" Also, it would be epic if you could get an entire team to commit to using the shield and go full phalanx mode for a game.
I usually aim for their feet when they're walking with the shield As for balancing: Make him walk slower when equipped with the shield, or change it to a 2-hit strike to kill someone
Dozer has always been my main since I started playing and he could always do this kinda stuff but the thing that prevented him from becoming a one man army was the range of the shield and that it reduced how fast you could turn so the way to defeat him was going around him and killing from the back.
Easy fix is just to allow high caliber rounds/explosives to nullify the invulnerability, additionally, they could make the shield bash a 2 hit kill instead of one. Until then, I'm going to continue to dominate as Dozer XD
I mean... it's broken. It should either have a "health bar" and a cooldown or it should be possible to counter with armor piercing rounds and explosives.
That is what happens when you try to make a niche tactics works in too many scenarios. Dice were probably too focus on pickrates and not gameplay when they decided these changes.
@@squidwardo7074 Not saying it should be mil sim, I am stating that a shield that can't be broken is a bit ridiculous same goes with any fps not just this one.
Really enjoyed this one! Laughing out loud the whole way through :D Can't believe its a OHK with the shield - like, why is it not some push-back effect instead? Or, 33% damage + pushback? Does the shield have poisoned spikes on it or something?? :D :D
Man, I'm so excited for DICE to wait 6 months for every casual player with 0.5kd to also complain before it gets nerfed. It should be obvious to anyone with 3 available brain-cells, that this character is busted and un-fun to play against.
I don't see Dozer as a problem. As soon as they attack a team mate, you can just kill them from the side or backside. It's weird that the shield goes to the ground, so you can't shoot their feet. In Rainbow Six Siege for example, you can just shoot the feet when he runs at you, or throw a grenade behind him.
People freak out when they see Dozer coming at them. The smart ones shoot at the feet. You can tilt the shield downwards and it helps cover the feet. Also, the shield hides the bright light on your vest so enemies can't see you easily.
I don't remember the ballistic shield in BF4 being this powerful, probably because they could just shoot through your viewport. Maybe the glass on Dozer's shield needs to be penetrable by at least some sort of heavier caliber rounds to balance it out a bit.
@@swaggadash9017 It has been quite a while since I last played BF4 with that shield, so you may be right and I'm probably just getting my memory mixed up with some other game's shield
The solution to killing Dozer is the incendiary underbarrel launcher on the SFAR. Keep it in your first slot, it's a quick switch and one shot straight to the shield.
You guys were fun as hell to play with on renewal last night crossplay ps5 Xbox pc I’m oAo kritical u have an insane clan and badass players !

Don't know how dozer was before this buff but it seems like a relatively easy fix, give the shield durability, or make him get Knocked over by explosions (if they hit the shield)
I haven't really noticed the dozer change too busy using toxic piloting skills in the nightbird using minigun+anti armor+self repair+seat switch repair
There is one thing that will make me stop the game : Matchmaking for quick match : You arrive at the end of a round, end game screen is still taking ages, loading too. You can't select preferences, as like, maps you don't want to play on, you still end up on the defence side 80% of the time on breakthrough, Irish sentinel is still disgusting, new weapons TTK are laser time. Yeah, they fix that, then I'll consider coming back.
also adding Dozer objectives on the pass really increased the usage of this shield wielding bast... anyways, yeah, dude's a menace now, or a god if you're the one using it 🤣🤣
"the smoke is your friend" literally! as someone who mains dozer (I'm new to the game and knew nothing, I just saw shield and went "oooo") moment I get near smoke the shield comes out if it wasn't already
Battlefield: the game which an RPG or C5 explosion right next to you, or a 50 cal to the body after X meters only causes some damage, but a lad hitting you with a shield kills you instantly.
Imagine driving a tank and seeing 4 bloodthirsty dozers with c5 running at you from different directions

the grenade launchers can kill them on impact, only counter it seems.

@@NickVarn I know right! also most of the SMG damage is stupid, taking 9-13 shots to kill at range, even some of the AR's need buffing.
when a ballistic shield does more damage than any melee weapon you know your game has balancing issues
The knife is sort of a melee weapon and it one shots from any distance, and you can one shot melee any enemy with any melee if you can get behind them.
