Shields should be with 3,5 sec duration not 2,5. Shield Supports are weak now

Or you could just use your shield at the correct time to actually block damage.

I like how 50-52% winrate is consider "weak" for shield supports kek

Dont worry that aint bad they also decided to nerf support items, ;:P*[zombie-brand-clap]*

no

they've always been strong, and remember, your janna and lulu still have their ults, and lulu still has her polymorph.

Most champions with shield abilities that are used as supports also have the benefit of movement impairment.

So, provided you can adjust mechanically to the situation, simply take Font of Life and Revitalize/Overgrowth in your secondary tree. Pair a shield during combat with a slow/knockup/polymorph and you've got damage mitigation on two fronts.
