Why do fighters have better shields than supports?
Yas/Panth vs Braum/Shen.

Yasuo and shen don't even carry shields wtf u talking about? They have SWORDS
Ba Dum Ts
Technically Braum doesn't have a shield either, only a misused door.
Because riot wants only bruisers/flashy champs to be playable.

God forbid they simply make support spell animations flashier or something.
I mean, they made a flashy support in pyke and for some reasons support players are complaining. xD

No.
They made an assassin with cc and called it a support...
An assassin support. Yeah. Pyke is a support. He can't solo lane unless you are like masters/challenger and do the HoB thing.
Shen has three, and one of them is global, and teleports him across the map. He is excused.
There's actually been debates about Wind Wall vs Unbreakable and I believe the consensus is Unbreakable is WAY more valuable when you factor that the shield can be repositioned. Big deal especially the higher up you go. It was a debate but in my mind, Yasuo is excused for being fundamentally different enough.
As for Panth, he is a squishy melee champion without it. Pantheon also lacks the mobility and flexibility of, let's say, Zed. This is where the cohesiveness of Pantheon's kit is a huge element in this discussion and comparison. One thing that really damns it however is that it does not destroy Skillshots, putting it as an entirely selfish shield. Even if you can argue it's a "better" shield in terms of protecting Panth than Braum, this generally follows the logic of their classes since Panth is definitely worse at defending teammates.
However Windwall does have one big advantage in that it works in all directions so if Yauso/his team is standing inside the wall there is nothing the enemy team can do to hit them with skill shots no matter where they position while Braum Unbreakable only works in one direction
his team is standing inside the wall
You do realize how incredibly stupid this sounds right.
Right?
Right??
This is one of the exact reasons why those debates favored Braum. Moving the shield, even if it faces one direction, is far smarter than having your team cluster up behind the Wind Wall.

I mean why wouldn't you if it benefits you (if the enemy is low on AoE or heavily reliant on Ranged AA or such) but yes if it doesn't then you can just not do it (As the opponents are still forced to wait 3.75 seconds, walk around or through it or disengage to deal with it)
Then again I guess it doesn't matter as obviously Windwall/Unbreakable are both useless
Right?
Right?
Well duh, that's why this whole thread is stupid and Shen is clearly superior.
Why does support have better AA modifier than a fighter? Renekton vs Shen?
Since when Shen is a support by design? You can play Teemo support~ does not make him 'a' support.
