Why does bannershield lose energy from heavy hits

So I'm leveling my titan go into gambit invade with bannershield for fun my super is instantly gone because I guarded against a machine gun a super that's all about a shield shouldn't punish you got guarding the entire point of bannershield is to block damage yet heavy weapons take it'd energy

  • Seemingly inconsistent for “heavy damage” as well. Not knowing the numerical damage values, I can take a direct hit from a Fallen Walker main cannon shot with minimal drain, but a Hunter’s Golden Gun drains the Banner Shield ridiculously quickly.

    • I assume it's hammerhead machine gun which is void so makes sense it melts bannershield

        Well you just answered your question. Heavy weapons are strong as hell so of course not to mention the nerf to ursa slowed it down. personally banner shield needs a rework. You probably would have killed the guy had you shield thrown instead but what do i know i wasn't there maybe it was other variables we don't know about.

        • All supers have a weapon that counter them. Arcstrider can’t block trace rifles.

          • Yeah... I believe that is a bug. Machine guns absolutely destroy the Sentinel Shield
