Is Riot Shield Coming Back to Verdansk?

Genuine question. Are there any leaks of it coming back?

And do you think it should come back? My opinion is it's a niche playstyle - maybe 5% of population use it and most of them probably in the lower KD lobbies? Gives a different playstyle to enjoy

I don't see guys sacrificing a secondary just to rock it on the back for defence. Not in verdansk at least ,too much value lost.

Also combats cheaters. They don't stand a chance if a good riot shielder is up against them

Thoughts?
