Here is an idea for a tank item: Any pass-through skillshot that hits you cannot pass through you.

It would give tanks a way to body block more things for their allies.

So linear area of effects like lux laser wouldn't be affected, and skillshots that don't deal damage like orianna ball reposition wouldn't be affected either. Damaging skillshots that pass through the targets hit, like yasuo's knock up would be affected.

You should have to take all the damage.. maybe mitigated, but still you shouldn't just get away with blocking it

Hell no.

"Hey lets give every single tank permanent Braum shield"

That would be disgustingly broken

I didn't say it was a passive effect, and I didn't mean to imply that.

Obviously it would be far too strong as a passive.

So basically everyone gets to be Braum?

What? Since when does Ori's Q do no damage?

I thought her ball reposition didn't do any damage?

Does it? My bad. If it does then the ball would have to stop right on top of the tank to remain consistent with other abilities.

yeah of course, it'd be too oppressive as a passive.

i was thinking something like a 90 or 120 second cooldown.

Well you can't fully control when banshees triggers, but if it turns out to be that bad we can put a duration on it, like 2 seconds so that it prevents pass through on anything that occurs in that window.

Alternatively we could just reduce the cooldown dramatically.

I don't really have a feeling for the numbers that would make it balanced, I just think the idea is cool.

Damnit I literally just thought of a Volibear concept yesterday with this as one of his abilities xD

it'd be pretty cool and I really want to play with block/return mechanics so much on tanks! But I don't think it'd work without some modification. A long cooldown, full item would block ultimates, and not only is the sort of skillshot you want to block rare (about 10 champions have high damage, line, multitarget skillshots) but a lot of these abilities are very quick, and the positioning is so odd to be able to block them, it'd give your intentions away - I think it'd be too easy to play around for its gold value- when alternatively you can go locket + knights vow without getting outplayed. But it might be something to work more specific ideas off from, because I love the idea.
