Shields should naturally 'decay'. This appropriately nerfs shields and rewards good play.

Are we in agreement that shields need to be looked at? Good. If not, then I don't think we'll agree on much else, either.

I think all shields should just naturally decay over time - and somewhat quickly. So if the value of the shield isn't used within the next few seconds, you loose the benefit.

This solves the problem of multiple shields lasting oddly different times.

Looking for a way to increase the skill required to play champions like Janna? This is perfect. Your timing must be much, much better to get the full value out of the shields. Instead of gating her by mana cost or a 'skill shot shield' which I think is just awkward - Having all shields decay naturally is a really elegant solution, I think. GOOD players will have to expect and predict burst to be as effective as before, and bad players will see the value out of shielding cut in half.

Thoughts?
