Perhaps the half baked comment might be better understood. possibly due to when this case shields getting changed like the 2 epic shields, the devs stated the current reductions but no additions in exchange for the reason for the reduction. For anyone looking at the change all they see is negative changes being done to both shields, in my opinion you can not blame some or many for getting rather upset and vocalizing their feelings toward either A: the changes, B: the devs or C: both
PS: yes i have probly stated my some of my upset feelings towards the devs but never intentionally try to be rude about it
