NEW SUMMONER SPELL: BUTTRESS

Occams Raiser·May 8, 2015·4 votes·437 views

Would you pick a spell that got better as the game progressed instead of what most Summoner spells seem to do? Buttress would reduce your mobility for a few seconds but Increase any ARMOR or MAGIC RESIST you had built. It does not give armor or resist if you haven't built it so it would take the place of Barrier. And it keeps Tanks from going Beast mode early on but really helps on engagements later on.

Side note. Why do you think Ignite, barrier, and heal don't continue to scale with time and level. At the 40 minute mark what is 345 health going to do when you have an ADC that has 400 AD? I can't forget that one whole second of 30% speed. By level 6 heal is the equivalent of almost 3 autos from an adc. At level 18 its one.

ya kind of agree with the heal bit. except if it were to scale it shouldn't scale that much. Meanwhile perhaps barrier might remain the same throughout the game. So you can pick barrier depending how if you think you'll need more defense early game as opposed to late.

I think its an interesting concept and i find summoners are pretty boring atm and could use something like this if just to stir things up a little. So long as its not ridiculous. the main problem however would be the shield would give a damage buff to malphite, galio, rammus, taric..

maybe it could mitigate a % of damage based on how much armor mr you have. so like alistar ult a bit.

So -10% dmg incurred per 50 combined resistances (either armor or mr). lasts for 2.5 seconds + 1 second if your hp is below 25%.

Yeah, they would have to code that out or accept that those particular guys would go beast mode for a few seconds. Prob the former.

I think it would most likely be the latter since Riot mostly encourages special interactions until it gets too far. It would mainly only affect Galio and Rammus, with Malphite and Taric getting smaller buffs. However, its not like these guys are insanely strong right now anyways.

People don't seem to respond to new ideas with a lot of vigor do they. Hit or miss with these concepts.
