Advice from Huddle.gg
Rating:
Silver
Shutdown hasn't had a lot of value in the past because it's rare you get enough swats to activate it. This year, swats are a lot more common because offenses are throwing jump balls and the swat mechanic is the best way to defend it. If you can activate it, the tigher coverage is a nice bonus.
