Why did Lux's shield seemingly double her HP Late game? I'm mistaken right?

I just played a match against her, basically ignored her and pushed/roamed all game because of how safe she was playing. Notcied about 30-40 minutes in she was pushing a lane so I figured I'd go scare her off or at least provoke her. She threw her shield the second she saw me and I swear to God for a moment I thought she was the Amumu. I did what any sensible assassin would do seeing a shield that big and kindly fucked off.

I also noticed my amumu ult (as sylas) did basically no damage to her and Qiyana after she shielded it in time. I figured the scaling on it was crap until I caught someone out alone... the fuck is that shield!? xD I can replay if need be... or screenshot. legit baffled.

Its fucking massive if it goes through Lux or a teammate twice. But they're removing the 2nd part of the shield, its on the pbe right now

You’re either mistaken or just plain lying.

Assuming this was a midlane mage lux (not the aftershock utility etc) from your post, Lux’s shield at any stage of the game will not surpass 50% (you said 100%) of her health. Since you only said “lategame” and did not specify her level, ill give you benefit of the doubt and say she was level 18. At level 18 with morellonomicon, which Lux is basically guaranteed to buy, she has 2235 health. Her maximum value shield is 330 (+60% AP), which with 700 AP (slightly above average AP for a lategame lux build) which means her shield upon returning was no larger than 420+330= 750 health.

Because Lux cannot proc aery on herself and this is not a support build Lux (Im pretty sure support build would be lower actually), Lux’s shield amounts to (750/2235) 33.5% of her health. And this is only factoring in morellonomicon, she could also have health runes and other health items but it is unlikely.
