Shields and knockups need a change

Knockups are the only CC that cannot be properly cleansed unless you use a summoner or movement ability. There should be an animation for champions to quickly roll or stride to the direction they have clicked after cleansing a knockup or a crashing animation so they land and can move so it doesn't look choppy. Tenacity doesn't affect knockups either.

Shields/Barriers need an item counter. There should be a way to reduce their effects like Mortal Reminder does to healing. To itemize against both heals and shields, the passive should go to only one item. Thus, ADCs cannot build 80% critical strike with Mortal Reminder and a shield reduction item without losing a defensive item.

Thoughts?

There's a reason why Knockups and Shields are in the game, to counter all your reasons. If knockups had the changes you suggested, it'd be nothing more than just another stun. If shields had the changes you suggested, it'd just be more health.

But I think certain shields should get a nerf as it's insane how certain circumstances allow a champion to gain a shield that doubles their health bar.

i think the root of his issue with the shields and knock ups is that offer the years many more of them have been added into the game making it easier to compose teams that can layer these mechanics with little to no counter play.
