So about Locket in the PBE

Here are the changes in the PBE as of right now

Locket of the Iron Solari Total Cost: 2800 --> 2750 Shielding Active: Shield power increased by 50%. ( 50 - 230 --> 75 - 345 ) Shielding Duration: Shield Duration goes from 5 --> 2

So the idea is to buff the shield, but at the cost of duration. That's good and all; it WILL protect my team from some heavy burst later in the game, but in a sustained fight, the shield will leave me wanting. So here's what I think would be a good idea.

Create two upgrade paths for the Locket.

Have one give a shield that lasts longer, but has a lower value. Have one give a shield that's shorter, but has a larger value.

That way, players have the option to opt for either a shield that works in a sustained fight, or a shield that protects against burst damage.

nonnononoono, locket = late game item not sustain fighting item, if people aint doing its shield bar amount in its short life they aint a carry.

You forgot to mention that the Aura lost 5 MR per ally (including yourself) and doesn't grant any health regen anymore (though you yourself will get 100% base hp regen). I think Locket will be much weaker in teamfight situations, though the increased shield might be useful in 2v2 situations versus burst champions.
