User blog:ISharkyShark/My Opinion on Shields and Banners

Hello Everybody! Due to a tweet Jeb sent, I decided to do a My Opinion blog post, telling you what I think about Shields, and Banners, due to you being able to combine Banners and Shields.

Shields: I absolutly love Shields! Shields replaced the ability to block swords in 1.9 (Combat Update), and blocked a large amount of damage that a player would usually take alone. I think the best enchantments for Shields would be Mending (will have My Opinion on in future)Unbreaking, and, if possible, Thorns. In order to cope with the difficulties of a touch screen, I was thinking on adding a 'Block' button when using, whether in right hand or left hand. I also think Shields would be great for PVP servers, or just PVP. Plus, the ability to bear your code of arms on Shields is my favorite feature.

Banners: Banners are tied with Stained Glass in my book. They are really good for decoration, and bearing your code of arms. They could also be good for PVP servers, having a red banner for red team, and a blue banner for blue team. Banners also spawn naturally in End Cities, making it more vital to add Banners to MCPE.
