HEMLOCK ABILITY BUG

I had already noticed this bug before, but I overlooked it until I got fed up of it today. In a Hangar Showdown battle, I was using my rank 4 Hemlock with dual Burrow Beam 8s. My enemy was having an Ares with a Versa 8 and Shotgun 4 (I think this guy is new to HS, because 4 mechs he chose were rare/epic ones and also used odd weapon combos) I tried to apply Daze thrice on his Ares which had its shield active, but surprisingly it didn't affect him. 

The same bug applies to Sentinel which will remain unaffected until the shield gets destroyed. All Hemlocks have this strange bug (I used this bug to my advantage, almost countering an enemy Hemlock with my Sentinel in Hangar Showdown) which severely affects its combat abilities against these high HP tanks. I can frequently see this bug whenever I play Hangar Showdown, because other game modes are too fast-paced and I might forget if I encounter similar bugs there. Please let me know if this bug is present on other game modes or have you experienced such bugs on Hangar Showdown. And I request the devs to fix this bug as soon as possible.

i wasnt sure its a bug, im 100% sure enemies with shields were not affected by hemlock when i played it, thats why i trashed it, id rather play zypher it doesnt care about shields, and i need reliable freeze or otherwise what is the point of hemlock ability if it nearly never works..

It's not a bug. When a shield is active, hemlock's daze is blocked by it.

I have a doubt, then why won't Orion (from whom Hemlock's ability was derived) can affect Ares or Sentinel as both abilities have quite similar mechanics? Please pass the Hemlock ability issue to the Dev team, because Hemlock is already usable only in HS or 2v2 Deathmatches and if Hemlock still has trouble in using its ability to kill certain mechs, then Hemlock definitely will die

Orion sort of supposed to break shields its getting shield piercing bonus when applied.. at least slowing enemies with shields would be nice :) but whatever.. i dont think hemlock would be in my top5 even if it had shield piercing
