Valid Juggernaut shield to give it more initial health

[TakeAShower 300]

I have an idea that should stop the juggernaut dying so quickly - It has a shield which contains 50% of it's max health. This shield cannot be healed by the Overdrive, and makes it immune to burning and freezing. So it has 1.5x the HP level when it spawns that it does currently. Once the shield is down, there is no way to get it back. And it would be fun if "[name] is enraged" appears when the juggernaut loses his shield, rather than when he gets a certain number of kills.

I saw a different idea about Juggernaut getting a shield which recharges overtime, a similar mechanic to that of Thanos in Fortnite or Banshee in Halo, and probably many other games. But you seem to suggest a non-rechargeable shield that simply gives Juggernaut more initial health to help defend from the initial attack? That does actually make a lot of sense and will allow newbies and other players, who are inexperienced with juggernaut, to last longer without making pro players more OP with juggernaut.

The shield should have the same HP as Juggernaut and should look like spaced armor (Schurzen) on Panzer 3 M or Panzer 4 H.

I think it should just have more HP and like a temporary protection 15% against every turret + mines (as long as you are a Juggernaut) then it'll be fine

This is really important-since otherwise Juggernauts can't survive.

Some can survive, some can't.

The main things that kill juggernauts are cyclone striker, the horde of freezes, and rail+viking OD because it literally mows down everything (Why only on rail, devs? The other guns don't kill anything as fast as rail+vik combo during OD). 2 of these can be alleviated with this shield idea.

Well besides for the few who are good at using the Juggy-if they play it often-they can get 25 kills on a Juggy.

But for players who don't usually play on JGR-they need protection to SURVIVE.

I have written a post of a juggernaut shield which looks like a transparent bubble with changing colors as the shield becomes weaker due to firing. However, this shield can regain thickness and become more protective everytime the juggernaut makes a kill. Please read my post here:
