What happens when it rains too hard? And how often has that been an issue?

I honestly can't even recall when it's been a problem. We do have low pitch roofing system and I'm guessing there's some science behind the effectiveness of gutter shields given factors such as roof pitch and the distance shingles extend out from the fascia (out over the gutters).

Because of the low pitch of my roof, pine needles, sticks and stuff will accumulate on it so I'm up there each spring with a leaf blower. Gives me a good opportunity to blow any debris off the shields - especially in corners and tight spaces.
