Courage of the Colossus, i have one tiny issue.......

Ok, I lied, I have two issues, but the first one is not as serious.

WHY IS THE SHIELD RED?!? Seriously, we have enough red item effects, and for heaven's sake the mastery icon is GREEN, give us a sweet green shield instead of red, please.
The mastery looks like it will be extremely effective on.......anyone with cc. Not just tanks. The numbers are 10 + 10 per level + 7% max health per nearby enemy. Assuming someone has about 2000 health late game (most champions will be a little lower than this, but I digress) they will get a 890 max shield. I could see this becoming a problem, especially if multiple, relatively squishy champions with hard cc take it, they can be disgustingly hard to kill. My suggestion would be to change the health scaling to bonus health in order to avoid abuse and let it cater to Tanks like it is supposed to.

Thoughts?

Doesn't feel like a huge problem to me. All of the "abusers" are going to have to invest points into the resolve tree, and the resolve tree has a bunch of shitty stats compared to ferocity and cunning. I'm not going to use courage of the colossus, thats a fact. Cunning/Ferocity will be way stronger. I haven't used the resolve tree in a very long time, especially after grasp got nerfed. Ferver is just way, way better.

For your first point it looks like Sion's W right now so I assume that its a place holder effect they will replace. For your second point the mastery has a 30 second CD which mean you'll only reasonably get it once a fight. It also only lasts 4 seconds,

Remove the flat values entirely and have it rely on only %max hp. That should help further cement this keystone as a tank and (certain) juggernauts keystone.

So if Yasuo ults off of a Malphite ult, will both of them get the shield? Because if they have a CC jungler like Sejuani or Amumu, they could set up a wombo combo that gives like 3k total additional HP across the three of them for the enemy team to deal with.

Very few champions are going to want to dive that deep into the resolve tree just to grab that keystone. Putting points into the resolve tree is like breaking your own knee before a footrace.

Hell, many of the best masteries in the tree are mutually exclusive with each other.

But if you aren't building tanky, isn't the shield going to be pretty terrible during the laning phase?

I really think riot has a serous problem, when it comes to designing neutral mechanics (items and keystones), because so many of the classes which they claim exist, aren't well defined.

Like inexplicably assassins are, by definition, more mobile. There isn't really a reason for this, but they are.

Bruisers exist as a gradient between, tank and assassin...

Like i don't think they considered just how much this master would be easily abused by assassin style fighter champions, namely Riven Yasuo XinZhao They're given tons of assassination power, but they also have enough CC to abuse this keystone.

Just wait until you see a Sion with a 4,400 hp shield just from this keystone alone. I'm gonna laugh my ass off if i see that.
