does courage of the collosus really need to last 4 seconds?

From what I saw while running it on rageblade jax there really is no need for this.

1 of 2 things happen

they break the shield after I stun somebody and I get my kill and proceed to beat their faces in
they fail to remove the shield and back off and give me 4 seconds to reengage at full hp before I proceed to wreck their faces

I think it should at least rapidly decay if you get a kill or something. It certainly doesn't make me feel courageous or colossal, its just jax with a shield that lasts like 2-3 seconds longer than his actual cc lol.

I mean it was in ascension but it was still silly to watch. I better try this shit on irelia xD

The shield needs to be long so that you still benefit from it after your target is no longer stunned

If the shield was shorter or decayed it'd create perverse incentives where the shield is more beneficial for champions who want to dive and CC a single target (Vi, Xin, other divers) than it would be for people with AoE CC, like the engage tanks it was designed for

Doesn't that mean that the shield is just drives perverse incentives either way?

Didn't you say that a 4 second shield would be pointless since you wouldn't focus on the guy with the shield?

Dunno, you might not.

If I said what I think you're trying to say then more than likely it was because of some shitty no-reference material post that didn't properly address the issue.

Courage of the colossus is actually ok the way it is now but I wonder if that duration is actually NECESSARY

Based off the name shouldn't it be more of a free first impact sort of thing? This style of shield should actually be given to assassins as a form of alternative evasion, oh I should add that.

Ok, ok I get your point.

As for my opinion on the matter, depending on the decay rate and decay formula (flat or percentage based?) I can see it making the shield more balanced overall without heavily nerfing it simply because of how big it gets already.

So yeah, a decay could work and have it beca flat scaling decay could actually shy it away from squishy champions with hard CC as a percentage decay would hurt the champions that it was mainly designed for more than champions like Jax or Riven.

I think this should actually be FOR jax or riven lol. Give cc tanks something else
