I agree. In fact, that line about "their health and any shields they may have" jumped out at me as a possible source of confusion. If I knew nothing about the game, I'd think "Okay, so everyone has health and shields, and you don't die until both run out." It'd be clearer and more accurate to just say that bringing someone to zero health kills them. (Especially since you CAN be killed while you have, , , , etc.)
