Before you say "Morgana", that is not the same thing. 
Black Shield protects against crowd controls and magic damage, but won't block a 
Spear Shot. I'm talking about something like 
Spell Shield, 
Shroud of Darkness, or a 
.
A support who could place spell shields on an ally could be very useful, and would definitely have a niche place. Excellent counterpick to 
, for one.
Any thoughts?
snelly121 votesMorgan blocks CC and magic damage. You want something that does all that AND block attack damage spells?
Incredibly Lucid4 votesMorgana's shield is arguably a lot more powerful than Sivir's. I think that's what he's suggesting, a support that can give Sivir's shield to people. It wouldn't be broken at all if it was of short duration, requiring you to pay a lot of attention to make it work and only blocking one ability.
snelly121 votesOhhh I understand now. I think that would be a really interesting ability to have on a support, great idea!
PokladnicaZla1 votesMaybe make it cleans too?
But that kind of spell would need to be and on a low duration.
darkdill2 votesBasically, but only works against 1 hit. Means timing is crucial.
The5lacker1 votesYeah: One application of it. Black Shield blocks all CC for 5 seconds unless your mage unloads everything they have into the target, which is absurd.
darkdill1 votesBut it doesn't block physical damage, or special effects like Mordekaiser's ultimate debuff.
The5lacker1 votesBut it blocks the CC that many physical damage dealing champions have with no chance of them breaking the shield and allowing their CC to actually stop the target. Imagine, for a moment, they removed the magic damage shield and just made it "Immune to CC for 5 seconds." Do you want to know what that ability would be?
An ULT. Olaf's ult, to be exact. The shield is significantly more of a liability than a strength.
The5lacker1 votesThe big issue with this is the highly reflexive nature of Spell Shields and issues with targeting them. It'd have to be a "Nearest Ally Smartcast" a-la Heal.
darkdill1 votesOne could say standard shields require reflexive use too. Same with Soraka's heal if you want to bait with it.
The5lacker1 votesNot nearly to the same level as a Spell Shield as it protects against ANYTHING, but only once.
