Shield should block a percentage and lose protection against high damage

Shield should block a percentage that decrease every damage point (not durability) taken like armor. For exemple a "low tier" shield could block 100% max damage, but this percentage decrease by 4% every damage point. (Formula: damage = damage * (1 - ((25 - max(20, damage))/25 )) . That way shields wont be overpowered early game and useless late game.

    This makes more sense than the current mechanics, so I'll vote for this! Yes, I think this will be a lot better. The current mechanics are really weird, this makes slightly more sense.

    This is like having armor penetration, but on shields instead of armor. I think it's a great idea!

     

    It will be better than the current shield that blocks 5 damage, since shields would feel more progressive. I don't know about the 4% of decrease, I think it's still strong for a low tier shield, but I like the general idea.
