Athene's Unholy Grail :: League of Legends (LoL) Item on MOBAFire

This is from the Unholy Grail description:

"Healing or **shielding **another ally consumes charges to heal them, up to the original effect amount."

however, if you use Galio's W, his shield (from the in game description of Bulwark: Galio **shields **an ally champion), on a teamate it doesn't dispel the charges OR heal the teamate which must be a bug.

This is not a bug, it's just incorrect wording in the ability description. Even though it says that Galio shields an ally, it's not technically coded as a shield, it's technically a buff that grants bonus armor and mr. Shields in League of Legends refer to abilities bonus temporary health, like Janna's E.

Riot could definitely reword this ability description to help avoid confusion.

It's still not regarded as a proper shield, so it wouldn't work. Clarity issue there without a doubt.
