Camille Passive Changes

I see that RIOT is deciding to nerf the duration of her passive. Personally, I'm on board for changing how her passive works to be honest (Coming from an MR7 Camille player, about 3-4 days after release if it matters)

I don't like how they are nerfing the duration to a consistent 1.5 seconds. I would rather they make it 2 seconds for all levels and reduce the shield amount from 20% to 15% or 10%, and maybe scaling back up. Reason being is because I don't feel like the passive really does anything for me in lane if I, lets say, engage with E. The stun lasts for 1 second. That's only .5 seconds of protection for 20% of my max health.

That's just how I feel. Does anyone else agree at all? I'm open to input from others :)

I agree, as a person who absolutely destroys Camille, my only pet peeve about her kit is the CD on her passive. I literally melted her health as MonkeyKing in the middle of top lane. She ran back to turret, I pushed the minion wave with item 3074 item 3068 to turret, then dove her under the turret, as I was mid attack, her shield came back up and I had to summoner 4 to survive as she taunted me under the turret.

I can agree with that.

I wonder though if this is not intentional.

Maybe the target that you stun is not who the shield is meant to protect you from.

Instead, what if the intention is for you to stun a target then attack the target that will provide for you a shield that will more effectively block damage from other targets around you.

For example, if you are engaging on the ADC, and there is a support nearby who has the potential to peel, you may want to stun the support and then auto the ADC. This way the support can not peel you off of the ADC and the shield will block physical damage instead of magic.

When attacking a single target, her shield will be somewhat wasted if you trigger it during the stun for any duration, but you are already able to apply free damage to them without them being able to retaliate, so your shield is not important.
