Does this shield not actually deflect snowballs when worn on the HA? :/ I assumed by the name that it would BUT MAYBE THAT'S TOO OBVIOUS?

Anyway, if this thing apparently doesn't work, what exactly DOES reflect snowballs? Judging by the "oops looks like your snowball got deflected be more careful next time" message when I was flinging snowballs to the opposite team, I'm assuming there IS something that deflects snowballs.

I don't understand. :I

It does, but it isn't a 100% reflection rate

Ahh, okay, that makes more sense (it would be nice if this was more obvious but hey okay)

I guess the math is just extremely against me today. Thank you. :^)

when a snowball gets reflected, the person who threw it gets an announcement. Normally (for example), this'd stop me, but there's a SNOWBALL FIGHT! So if I'm (for example) chucking snowballs at (for example-you might very well be on my team so this wouldn't happen) you and it reflects, it's no big deal to me as my HA already smacked with tons of snowballs. So I'd keep on pelting you until I do hit.

Your reflector is working exactly as it should. But you shouldn't think it will deter anyone until after 25 December when the fight is over and it's "normal" Subeta wintertime. Those of us who are amused by the idea of a snowball fight? We've all got Inventories chock full of ammunition.
