Always suspected, but now am sure.
Very clearly experienced knock-back from a blaze ball explosion while hanging onto a ladder and holding a riot shield.
While shift-holding to stationary AND holding riot shield on the highrise map ladder, a blaze ball explosion slid me back. It was mild, but noticeable... If there had not been *2* parallel ladders I would have slid into the void.
I know for a fact no other type of damage source seems to do this... while shifting on ladders at least....
Riot Shield does not (always?) stop explosive KB
