For a lvl 18 champ with 4000 health, you can get a shield of 470 for 1 nearby enemy or...

A shield of 2350 for 5 nearby enemies. For 4 seconds.

I think I'm in love. I also can't see that making it through PBE without a nerf.

As a main I can only assume you're talking about everyone's favorite succubus.

Also everyone seems to be focusing on the raw stats of Courage of the Colossus while also forgetting Runic Armor. 8% increase to all Shields. lvl 18 champ with 4k health and runic armor goes from 2350 health to 2538. That's a 64% HP Shield on 1 good R. Not even including her 400 HP Blast Shield passive. And then if you have item 3053

ohhhh boy.... 2538 plus Blast Shield (432 after runic armor) and Steraks (1296 after Runic Armor) and you get 4266 Health in Shielding in one fight if all of it pops. 107% of max health shielding between masteries, passive, and one item.

taunt doesnt count as hard CC, neither does fear or silence like Fiddlesticks Nocturne if i remember correctly >.> i might be wrong tho

Glory ln DeathOct 21, 20167 votes

I know fear does count as hard cc - it was one of the examples given. Not sure about taunts, though.

4th3t0sOct 21, 20165 votes

loss of control, snare, stuns, knockups, displacement, supression, etc. Taunt should trigger it fine.

Edit: from what I'm seeing, the only CC that WON'T trigger it are silence, slows, and blind

YFisfabulousBRUHOct 21, 20162 votes

fear is loss of control but it doesnt trigger the shield. a rioter said that it was basically a fear and it wont trigger the shield when someone asked if lulu's polymorph will trigger it >.> i think that anything that causes loss of movement (knockup, stun, snare, root, supression) will trigger the shield but not taunt

I was clarifying for those who are clicking on this and don't know what you mean by "potentially"

rtbf225618241Oct 21, 20161 votes

You hit 5 people at once? Damn, those guys took grouping way too literally.

Champion SkinOct 21, 20167 votes

You don't need to hit 5 enemies... you only need to hit 1 enemy champion with immobilizing CC and have the 4 other enemy champions close enough to you (as it is based on the number of enemy champions around you not how many you hit with CC)

rtbf225618241Oct 21, 20161 votes

Wow that's...quite dumb in my opinion.

Spaceman5pffOct 21, 20162 votes

I think the idea of it is to fill the "durability" function of that Strength of Ages filled, but to do it in a way that benefits a more specific group of champion (tanks) rather than almost always being the best choice for anybody in the jungle.

Always having HP from that is so good, it let you dive harder, survive more and for some it granted new resource to scale from offensively (namely Volibear Sejuani )

This new mastery grants durability to those who need it most, and it does so in a more easily appreciated way.

Just my two cents.

rtbf225618241Oct 22, 20162 votes

Well i guess for some tanks that are struggling more with diving in do seem to have this justified but let's not forget they're not the only ones that can use this which is what i'm afraid of.

BoulderoxOct 21, 20169 votes

Aatrox can i use it https://m.popkey.co/361e89/ReaGQ.gif

WoonStruckOct 20, 20167 votes

Hmm...if Taric uses Bastion on you, and attempts to use his E, does it count as his stun coming from you, or yours, and based on whose proximity?

I would assume his for both, but let's watch the spaghetti fall.

Mira Arya EntheOct 20, 20166 votes

Doesn't help Shyvana unless her 50/50 chance ult knocks an enemy back.

GULAG 4 UOct 20, 20166 votes

She doesn't have enough really reliable CC tools anyways, this mastery is subpar on her at best.

Mira Arya EntheOct 20, 20166 votes

Exactly the problem, they are removing strength of ages for this. SoA was her 'I need to go tankier this game' option. Plus they are nerfing Fervor, her 'I need to go dmg' option.

GULAG 4 UOct 20, 20167 votes

Tbh riot said they were shitting on the powerfarming style. The problem is that people that powerfarm generally have shitty as fuck ganks. Unless you are giving Yi some way to have cc, he's going to powerfarm. And riot already announced they are suppressing it, so Yi and Shyvana are going to be even _worse. _

Mira Arya EntheOct 20, 20162 votes

:c then they need to move all the farm junglers to the front of the rework list. That makes even Urgot more Viable.

GULAG 4 UOct 20, 20164 votes

Well yeah, Yi is simply bullshit at lower ranks while being near useless at higher ranks. Rek'sai for example has bullshit clear, sustain, and mobility in the jungle AND map PLUS crazy ganks from impossible to ward locations. Not wonder they nerfed her ass into the ground. Yi brings nothing other than... dps in ganks, which is worth shit. (You need burst and cc). Shyvana's ult needs to be fixed and yi will either need some form of cc or burst in order to be viable if they shit on powerfarming.

Big LincolnOct 21, 20162 votes

well can shyv make use of 60 ad late game?

i know it's not as strong as the onhit but Battle Trance is at least very good, too

Mira Arya EntheOct 21, 20162 votes

AD is okay on her. She is an AA champion. But her strength is in her double hit Q and her W-E on hit effects. AD only scales her W and basic attacks. And her W scaling kinda sucks.

Big LincolnOct 21, 20161 votes

you might migrate to grasp, then, i'm not sure what else you can do. 12-0-18 still lets you get battle trance (this mastery is going to be universal on any bruiser imo)

You'll be worse off early game but I think you can apply Grasp's damage twice if you time it with Q, since it is an on hit

The Blue RajahOct 21, 20163 votes

Grasp is an "on attack" actually, it won't get doubled by twin bite unfortunately.

LegacyDAPOct 21, 20162 votes

This mastery is such a bad concept. Guarantee you it's just going to bring tank Ekko and other fighters with CC in meta again.

The DeckownerOct 21, 20166 votes

only triggers on hard cc, don't mindlessly hate ekko.

BorrowedEnergyOct 21, 20161 votes

Great so it only works on his only form of remaining cc that gives him a shield anyway.... Oh wait a minute.... That's exactly the point that Hidden was making -.-

The DeckownerOct 21, 20164 votes

do you even know how ekko's stun works? the shield duration and stun duration is exact the same, if he stuns you his shield goes to waste, it is only useful if he fails his stun.

FriusOct 20, 20161 votes

Nautilus straight broken ,he already has a shield

hissss Q ,pasive E and R all are cc 4 ccs

Malicious MetalOct 20, 20163 votes

Well, Nautilus could use a buff anyways :^) And no, I'm not biased.

Okay, a little bit

President Swa1nOct 21, 20165 votes

TMW you realize Malicious 'Metal' doesn't NECESSARILY just refer to Mordekaiser...........

Glory ln DeathOct 21, 20165 votes

It only activates off of hard cc (stun, fear, taunt, knock-up, displacement, root/snare - where you can't control your champion's movement), so it wouldn't work with his E.

Also, while it is certainly good on Nautilus, having it work off of his passive might not be the best since there will be situations where he will activate it just by auto-attacking when it really should have been saved for a little bit longer. But, hey - why not get the shield?
