the only way he will be played in ranked if you keep how his shield is activated before a kill or he wont be played at all.
only 2 real fixes
Turn the timer down before first kill.
have a drawback for activating it and not getting a kill and the drawback being if used without a kill you lose all shield you bought :p
bearmans [#2]that's punishing not a fix. just make the activation timer instant and the shield timer down half.
instant activation timer would be aids, imagine using it in a fight to get a free shield
reremus [#3]instant activation timer would be aids, imagine using it in a fight to get a free shield
not instant then, maybe 0.5 or 0.8 sec
Kirya [#5]he needs a rework
shield ability is not it
even before the buff iso's shield was cancer to deal with if the person had it
I could agree. but thats his whole kit so what can you do.
shields shouldve never been a thing in tac fps but its too late..
The best thing he can get is a complete rework for his main ability. Instead of giving him a shield that negates all damage, give him a shield that just increases his HP/Shield by like 25-30. He can still be damaged, the Vandal won't be a 1 shot on the head or an OP, but he'll still need to deal with flinch if he gets headshot.

most of iso players use him only for shield and ult and just run it down
maybe sometimes they use the wall but doesnt happen that often lol
his kit is just dogshit
its not healthy to have a character that is heavily dependent on 1 ability
his shield needs to be gone. I don't know how it got added in a tac fps game. it's nuts that he can infinitely keep refreshing his shields as long as he gets kills and shoots that aimlab ball thingy.
also, his ult his fucking insane- clears so much space and easily counters any enemy ult like jett, raze, neon etc.
imo riot needs to revert iso changes back to how it was and leave him be. considering the game will eventually have several more agents like league throughout its lifetime, its okay to have non-meta quirky fun agents. current iso is easily stronger than insta dash 3x 7second cloudburst jett, 2x nade raze and 2 trademark 2 anchor chamber.

only thing that makes him useful and kinda the whole point of the character... Just lower the shield duration, he still is one of the worst characters ability wise.

thats a worse nerf than what it was

yeah exactly
how can character be good only if 1 ability and the ult are good
rework his kit completely inlcuding the shield
hes boring af to play too
