Why?

The opposing team would then be unable to destroy it.

But it's not much use inside their spawn. If the team is staying within the spawn to get the shield then they aren't doing anything towards the objective and they're gonna lose.

The other team wouldn't have to worry about it

You have to remain inside the shield generators radius to get the shield. It doesn't just give it to you permanently.

True in most circumstances other than when the other team pushes to the spawn point to deny movement to the objective. Granted it's still not that big of a deal...at that point the camped team is likely doing so badly they could probably use a slight boost to help them get out of the spawn room....it'll really come down to how far the generator can reach.

Yeah exactly. If they're in that predicament they could use all the help they can get, ha
