this is a nothingburger, the security provided by negating the threat of being knocked down outweighs the ability to chase, also there is literally nothing stopping you from bringing a friend to shoot whatever fails to knock you down in the first place
self admitted skill issue i fear
that alone would make it a meta-pick for IOs who arent going out of their way to kill backliners anyway, they’re more concerned with picking up items - you would argue this would make them temporarily vulnerable but it really does not take that long to switch to one hand, pick something up and then store it and switch back to two handing so its kind of a nothingburger really and thats not to mention the security provided in actually getting to wherever the item is
contrary to popular belief it’s actually not that hard to store a decent amount of items even in the absence of a backpack or satchel, even beyond that you can just act as a point man and have your friend be your pack mule
and in exchange it basically neuters the backline castes threat and killing power
