7.2 Courage of the Colossus Nerfs. Intended or Mistake?

Duration: From 4 seconds to 3 seconds Shield Value: From 10-180 base health to 3-54 base health per nearby enemy champion

So for most non-broken champions who use CotC, not only do you get far less health as a shield in most of the cases you proc it (one to two enemies nearby), you also have it for less time. And yet, the really obnoxious tanks like Poppy and Hecarim that abuse the mastery actually get MORE health when they dive three to five enemies?

What happened to the original plan of finding a healthy alternative to Strength of the Ages???

You still get the +5% Max HP per nearby enemy (+25% max) so it's not as big as you think it is. It makes up the majority of the shield anyway

That missing 72-128 health could be the difference between getting one-shot or living long enough to out-DPS the enemy.

so? the entire point was to nerf the mastery and it got nerfed. Sorry you cannot win trades for free now

Thought the point was to make it less oppressive in lane, in which case, the duration hit would have been acceptable.

Nah it's just way too strong in general. I think they plan to nerf it further

what exactly do you mean by "non broken champs?"

To be honest they ought to lower the base of it dramatically, but make it a much higher % bonus health, so that only divers/tanks will be able to use it effectively, and shitstains like Riven can't.
