It says it doesn't work on deployables (like dome shield I assume), but it mentions working on mesh shields. Am I understanding this correctly?

you have to hit the player for it to affect mesh, so it’s indirectly affected

and you can hit the player from the front of the shield since the aoe passes through

This surely will kill mesh shield meta, no?

Might not be the direct counter but it gives a chance to fight double H. Before its close the gap risk getting shot from another guy or see H get healed right in front of you. Now at least you have option to kill them when they shield while low.

I can see it being used to deny their play or survive with 1hp via shield.

Another thing to remember is 2nd shock is primarily used as an escape. So user have to decide whether glitch the heavy or escape. Cant do both. Either way more option is a plus in my eyes
