Heavy shield

Shields in Minecraft are really useful, but not that much: if our enemy wieldsan axe, our shield is useless.

Here I suggest a new type of shield, which will have some benefits, but also downsides.

Crafting

This shield would be crafted with 5 Iron ingots and 1 Iron block. 

Use

This shield will deflect any incoming damage in front of a player. This shield, can't be disabled by an axe, and has more durability. However, the player is severely slowed, to the point he canbarely move. Also, the pose of the player behind a heavy Shield, is that the shield hides completely the player. We can put banners on the heavy shield. Also, the shield will negate any knockbak.
