I've even seen them used to wipe the flag D clean in a single pass. If a shrike hits a player with superheavy it should hurt or kill the shrike. This would introduce some risk to the nonstop roadkill. It's a simple solution and it would help restore the balance of the shrike.

Superheavy should kill Shrikes

There are very few (if any) countermeasures to shrikes that roadkill constantly. I've even seen them used to wipe the flag D clean in a single pass.

If a shrike hits a player with superheavy it should hurt or kill the shrike. This would introduce some risk to the nonstop roadkill. It's a simple solution and it would help restore the balance of the shrike.

Shrikes should take a set amount of damage WHEN RUNNING INTO IRON CLAD SOLDIERS anyhow.

Variable, you have to spend an awful lot of time in here defending the Shrike for something you consider balanced.

How can you possibly even construe my recommendation as "hand of god". The shrike must merely touch a person and they die instantly and my suggestion that it take damage if it hits a person with a specific perk is somehow a superweapon? I wonder what percentage of the "Slayer" awards were earned in a Shrike. I would guess it's somewhere in the high 90's.
