Automatic shields once battle ends

Unknown

TLDR - option for server to automatically put up a shield once battle is over.

The most popular method for climbing the PvP leaderboards is to climb high then shield. Once your retaliations are over, you find a high point target, break your shield, fight, then shield back up. All the while, hoping that you're quick enough to get your shield up before you get hit.

Minimizing the time spent unshielded is paramount. The time between battle end and getting the option to shield is filled with the animation (which has been sped up thank you) and display of rewards, Facebook friend sharing, and sometimes Facebook authorization messages. While all this is happening, the user is frantically clicking to get to the activate shield option.

I propose to have the option to choose a shield to use at the "choose boost screen". As soon as the result of the battle is received by the server, the reauthorized shield is activated. Then the rewards stuff can be received without the stress of exposure.

This would be a very good idea.
