Is it unlikely that a future Champion will have a spell shield?

Presently, only Nocturne and Sivir have spell shield abilities. Everybody else has to get Banshee's Veil to get that effect.

Are spell shields simply an effect Riot likes to avoid, or is there another reason why it's so seldom? I'd certainly love to see a support Champion who can cast one on a teammate.

(And NO, Morgana doesn't count. Black Shield can't block a Pantheon Spear.)

They want to make champions unique, if every champion had a spell shield, the game would be pretty pointless, and take 20 minutes longer.

So is that why nearly every new champion gets a dash and a knock up? :P /s

Ironic double standard for power creep, huh.

Sellshields suck, they are snowbally spells whose only counterplay is to bait it; which you can do when you're winning. or chain CC which isn't a healthy solution either.

Morgana T_T Morg totally counts. Who cares if she can't block panth spear? She can block multiple spells on 1 cd.

Okay, what about a Jinx ult? Bet you wanted that spell shield, huh?
