Ever since the shield guard rework to where you don't lose your whole shield after attacking, I haven't been able to revenge a single person.
Is this not a problem to anyone else?

It's not a problem at all if you are in lower leagues. I was always able to find at least one person open to revenge while I was in crystal 1. My second account hovering between silver 1 and gold 3 has almost half of the list open to revenge.
Revenge has always been difficult, because you have to do it in the slim window between when a player's shield expires and when another player finds them in the regular search - and the regular search players have a head start. But since revenge doesn't give the league bonus, I'd rather attack someone else anyways, so it doesn't bother me. I definitely wouldn't give up the new shield system for it, most especially since it was difficult long before the system went in place last year.
There are many useless features in clash of clans. Revenge is one of them, along with most of the base editing features, among others. Many useless features, like revenge, have solutions, but none of them will really work or improve anything. Thus the only good solution would be to completely remove it or not change it at all.
You could be right. I couldn't tell you the last time I've revenged someone. I'll see if I can confirm it.
This might just be a language issue with your post, because I didn't understand this. I can't tell if you think the shield rule went into effect today (it didn't - it's been 9 months) or if you think that revenge was available every time before that (because it wasn't). I don't think you'll find many people who don't think revenge has always been a problem. Here are just a sample of posts:

Sick of the useless revenge button, Is it just me?
Sharky do the devs have a plan to reform revenge?
I'd like to support this post : revenge currently useless as shield/protection makes it impossible to attack
And I've tried several ways, even writing down those names of villages you want to attack and trying every five minutes . Didn't work! :(
Plus each village that you want to attack requires different troops types
Please make revenge usable ! For example attack possible under shield, so revengers have a priority on attack
How about a search button that let's you search thru your available revenge bases to see who you can attack just like regular match finding with a nexting button have it cost to search like normal search. Or included them in your regular match searching but indicate that it's a revenge attack.
My experience of revenge is " its dead " and when it miraculously is available theres no Loot to gain.
shame because supercell made a good advert with Liam neeson exploiting his revenge. So not only was that money wasted, id like to see a new advert with Liam saying " im gonna revenge supercell instead " for stopping me revenging in the first place...!
Revenge is always difficult, but you can plan ahead. That's the balance.
My suggestion for revenge is a 30 minutes period (revenge time) after shield or protection time (? in German called Schutz). Within this time only revenges are possible. After that time they where put to the global pool of enemys again.
Maybe you can highlight the enemys that run out of shield or protection mode (and are soon aviable for revenge in the defense log).
That could also lover the time, legends or titans searching for enemies, because there is a smaller group of enemies are going to revenge/attack the same base.
I have such a problem as well..I would have ever wanted to revenge with this guys who have decreased my trophy and looted my all resources that I have collected by taking trouble and wasting time...but this guys have ever been protected by shield so I have given up for the useless revenge..
After clicking on revenge, instead of saying "player has active guard", they could tell us when guard would expire like: "player has active guard. Try again in 22 minutes". Nevertheless, a village should be available o for revenges only, before being avalilable for multiplayer attacks.
I'm just waiting for the season to end to lower my trophies. Cloud wait times are killing me. The legendary league is a dream that rapidly became a nighmare. Thank god the season ends in 1-hour...
Totally agree, I didn't able to revenge any Base in last 3 months I guess.
I decided to see how low I could drop and how fast I could get back to champs with my mid-th10.
It's been fun revenging all the other droppers but now I have run out of worthwhile targets. Mathematically, any dramatic improvement in Revenge will always mean the available revenge list runs down to zero.
Revenge isn't broken, it isn't always economical and there are easier ways to gain loot and cups. Improving Revenge will sacifice something else and it's doubtful that will improve the game.
As a th-10 champ you may attack everyone. But as a th-9-champ I can hardly find other th-9-champs. To get cups I have to take risky max th-10 champs (no 3* possible). Otherwise I can attack th-9 masters to get 3-4 cups. But in defense I'm always losing 15-20 cups.
In this case it would be nice, to strike back at other th-9er (I do not know how long they searched for me).
You need not use it, but I would.
I have found it extremely difficult to revenge starting in the master's league. I read another forum post with a decent idea on how to help with the problem. Instead of the revenge button being bright red, why can't it be grayed out if the base is not available to attack? Therefore you don't have to scroll through the list hoping to find a base, which will save a lot of time.
This wouldn't solve the problem in higher leagues, because all bases would be grey. They are never available for revenge because of shield and protection. I tried to revenge a base in protection mode by clicking the revenge-button all the time. But between two clicks it was attacked by an other. :-(
