Me: Okay... *Cue 'Okay' Meme* I've heard Rattati is pro Gallente hence why shields/Caldari never get love and the RR gets hit hard with the nerf hammer...
Really? Well I heard the RR got nerfed because it was making up a total of ~40% of the rifle kills in the game. Actually, we didn't hear that. We saw it. Rattati provided metrics and reasons for why he nerfed the RR.
I also saw that shields have gotten multiple small buffs in the past. Such as the Recharger/Energizer buff and Shield Extender buff.

Ima stop you right their armor loving hippie. Extender buff huh? *looks at 66 hp complex ext* wow big buff looks the same to me. Recharger/energizer buff 5% is so much it affected me like an extra 5% or something. Oh look at these armor plates that give no penalties and give you 75 hp hmmm i can stack ferros reps and armor yeah." i want damage mods," says shield tanker. ccp says, "no bad shield tanker no damage mods for you"
Rattati buffed basic and enhanced extenders considerably. 50% more HP for both of them. They used to be 22 and 33 remember? And a 5% buff is still a buff. In fact, its exactly what many shield users asked for, so yeah...
And yes, Ferroscales give a bit more HP than extenders, but its not like an all Ferroscales build is even remotely viable. Like at all. 3 ferroscales and 2 repairers is what most people use now. That's at least what I prefer. I have a few fits that use 4 and 1, but I usually use 3 and 2. While the common shield setup is 4 extenders and 1 energizer/recharger. So really, Shield users usually end up with more HP than armor users do now. Usually. At least in any good builds.
