Narrative:
Due to poor vectoring on shreveport approach's part we were turned on to the ILS runway 14 shv too high and too close and told to maintain a specific altitude until past a certain fix. The fix was unusual, as I had never received it before. Too much was put at us too quickly. We chose to go around. Poor ATC planning. They had also been providing us, air carrier X, and our airline dispatchers with what seemed to be erroneous RVR data. (Especially regarding rollout RVR). Air carrier X was upset also because on their rollout earlier that day the visibility was poor after being told the conditions were 'visual.'
