What should have been done about Colossus from the very start

instead of nerfing it into oblivion and leaving everyone wondering why it is still in the game in such a trash state after all the nerfs, what Rito should have done is this:

-Gain a shield for 20 - 190 (based on level) (+ 7% maximum health per nearby enemy champion HIT BY THAT SAME CROWD CONTROL ABILITY) for 4 seconds after hitting an enemy champion with hard crowd control (30 second cooldown).

instead of getting a huge shield based on how many people are around, you get big shields only when you actually CC multiple people eg a 4 man Xin Zhao ulti, or a triple knockup on Malphite etc. then you cant have stuff like Morgana proccing full 5 man shields with a single target bind. Or WW should get big shield when he terriefies multiple people not when he suppresses one target.

This would make it terrible on people without AoE hard CC.

Amumu approves of this.

The whole problem with Courage of the Cancer is that only a select few people can use it. The removal of fear lowered this even more.

It is designed for initiators who need that little bit of extra oomph to get in there.

What it SHOULD be, to achieve the goal of tanks utilizing it for initiation and not Rivens who want more shields is simple.

"Gain a shield for 20 - 190 (based on level) (+ 10% BONUS health) per nearby enemy champion for 4 seconds after hitting an enemy champion with hard crowd control (30 second cooldown)."

I am not saying numbers are correct, but the idea behind it. Raise the %hp to compenstate, lower the base amount.

This means that tanks will get a similar shield to what they are currently receiving, but non-tanks (like Morgana, Riven, Karma) can't abuse it.
