I don't know about you guys, but arc blade is one of the more underpowered supers. Sure it's fine if you are in close quarters and other players can't escape, by most of the time this isn't the case. Players can easily jump back and shoot you. That's why I think activating arc blade should also give you a shield that triples your defense. This will actually make Arc Blade an effective super instead of a joke.

it definitely doesn't need a shield. i use it , and would only use it in close quarters where i know i can smash the opposing team, i would never activate it knowing there's too much distance and a chance to get gunned down. if your good with timing and know how to use it, you wouldn't have an issue with it
