Should "Mutilate" Items be Implemented?

Got Aatrox during an ARURF game and read the abilities as waited for spawns and stuff. Lo and behold! A new 'effect' was seen.

Mutilate: Reduce effectiveness of Heals and Shields

I had been previously curious why they had heal reducing items and effects, but nothing for shields. Figured it was just because it would probably murder a few champs.

Now that Aatrox has something that does it, should we expect items with similar effect?

How would you feel about that?

They should have introduced Mutilate on items to begin with and never touched Support shields.

They could of just updated item 3165 item 3033 item 3075 to be Mutilate.

item 3123 item 3076 would remain as Grievous Wounds.

So how much do you think they would have to revert in nerfs to try and balance it?

Off the top of my head no idea

I doubt it'd be an addition riot will be looking at. Have the passive top lane is helpful because not only do so many champions get shields, but they also have some tankiness to do without them in a trade, while many other laners rely on shields to survive long enough to scale (though irelia tends to be a constant in most lanes now lol).

Without adding it to already purchased items (replacing GW for example) I doubt they'd get bought most of the time anyway (much like GW items only being bought if the enemy team have a lot of healing).

Please no.

Shield supports had their durations nerfed, support items got nerfed and grievous wounds items already exist in abundance.

Plus, with Irelia running around with her bonus damage to shields, shields are getting more useless by the day.

I don't want shields to be completely unviable.

I agree with this sentiment because it would pretty much gut shield based supports completely. Especially after the duration nerfs.

yes, i would like to see the bonus damage on duskblade replaced with this.

No. We already have Grievous Wounds, you can just make Morello do it while leaving executioner's calling as is.

Imperial PandaaJun 30, 20181 votes

As Morello is a finished product, that is agreeable. Especially since it would make more sense for it to be a magic spell or something reducing effects.

Could you imagine it on a Thornmail with a Rammud charging at you?

Yes. But I'm also deliberately leaving out Mortal Reminder and Executioner's Calling, because AD items need to be weaker, not stronger.
