Remember when they removed Irelia's extra shield damage?

Why are they giving Renekton and Blitzcrank abilities that completely removes shields on top of their sizable damage and aoe?

Were those champions not already overbearing enough?

Like, fine extra damage is ok. But completely removing? We all know it's because of Kench.

It's fine on Blitzcrank. Fits him thematically, and enables him to do his job of reeling people in for an asskicking without having to deal with the absolute batshit shields in the game right now.

On Renekton, it just gives him an advantage in matchups that were bad for him before. They're straight up so desperate to remove Tahm as a threat that they're pushing Renekton into his place.

permanent shieldbreaking is not the same than a shieldbreaking that has a cd

Nah, its because of Riven. They can't nerf her because of skin sales so they are creating a hard counter

Renekton lost his 'butcher of the top lane' status. I guess Riot is looking to reintroduce "Renekton bar" back into the game.

Blitz was overshadowed by Thresh who then got overshadowed by Pyke. Riot is just trying to inject some life back into the long forgotten Blitz.

Its fine on Blitz, really dont mind it and its tied to his Ultimate but everyone knows Renekton rushes fucking Shojin, so putting that shit on a basic ability thats practically on a 3 second cooldown cause of Shojin is shield champ suicide

Its because Irelia already has too much in her kit
