Are you kidding me, are you actually joking. Why? Why does Renekton, of all champions get a shield breaking W. Irelia's wasn't this bad, she just dealt bonus damage to shields she didn't outright deplete them entirely.

This is the biggest joke and mistake riot have ever made.

Stop buffing this r%%%%% champ pls.

This guy already cancer to play against.

Dope Solo7/3/2019, 11:26:28 PM22 votes

Why are buffing already strong champs in teh first place? Ahri Does not need another fuckign charm buff.

My guess is Renekton is getting a new skin soon

Renekton was a lane bully who had the ability to win duelists but lose to juggernauts/tanks. Now, they let him win duelists and every tank with a shield making matchups like Sion and Malphite, to be good matchups for renekton instead of bad like they were. Bullcrap buff and unecessary. A change for the sake of change not for the sake of balancing.

A shield is extra health, giving a skill the ability to remove a shield means you are increasing the Champions damage and Renekton doesn't need that.

Why would you expect Riot to do literally anything but the worst possible balance changes for Top or Jungle? That's like expecting a dog to guard your steak.

I think riot should've just made it go through shields.... the fact that this is just another god damn bs mechanic supports have to deal with because of stupid carries (Tahm/Sylas) that are overtuned is so dumb. Stop giving supports the short of the stick all the time like wtfff

Can't we just add a freckin cap to the shield value he can break, scaling with ranks and AD?

Breaking a full shield of any value it's pretty busted, it removes a lot of counterplay to Renekton as a burst-combo champion.

Is anyone really surprised? Like, seriously? League is, and will remain, unbalanced because of crap like this.

Jennifer4207/4/2019, 8:16:12 AM6 votes

"everyone complains about riven and tahm being free wins... so... how about we give the former strongest toplaner the ability to break their shield. HA BALANCED!"

rito in a nutshell: why nerf stuff when you can overbuff other stuff.

This is the biggest joke and mistake riot have ever made.

This renekton shit is a huge fuck up, but sadly, not even close to their biggest mistakes...

Jenivie7/4/2019, 9:12:46 PM4 votes

lol excuse me what is THAT, are they really going to let that into the game

ÈvilMorty7/4/2019, 7:14:36 AM3 votes

Still waiting for immobile champ changes where playing them doesnt feel like a handicap

preternatural7/4/2019, 2:42:03 PM2 votes

if this shit goes live and irelia does not get her shield break back lololololol

SirPurrr7/4/2019, 1:44:55 AM2 votes

I think it's a terrible idea too. You need to be able to rely on shields and otherwise, it's very misleading. At least with grievous you can see your HP getting a lot lower than you'd expect. This just defies expectations and feels really bad. It makes shields completely useless. I could maybe see this as OK if the mechanic took 3 autos to break the shield or something to that effect.

This looks like something that should've belonged to an assassin like Talon or Zed but whatever the croc gets it

I like how Renekton is top tier right now but is still being buffed

sho ayane7/5/2019, 11:36:57 PM1 votes

poppy used to counter renekton, makes me sad i might not be able to beat him anymore if he has this and ignite :(

Xela Syab7/5/2019, 4:34:28 AM1 votes

I do like the idea, but it's on the wrong champion. Singed would probably be balanced on his w since he can't really duel or burst and he's a low mechanic champion.

Barierr will be nothing if someone will play vs renekton...

ok but can we talk about the pyke buff and the fact that they just nerfed solo pyke and now they are giving a big buff to solo pyke

The Spicy Crit7/5/2019, 11:53:33 AM1 votes

They buffed already broken champion? Wow, that's too much, even for Riot

VageneAndBøbs7/5/2019, 12:22:56 PM1 votes

I like the idea of a shield break on a champ to counter Tahm, but maybe not Renekton..

Kurjao7/5/2019, 4:34:43 PM1 votes

Was expecting it to be on some one like Kled with the pull part of his Q or hitting a marked target from skarners E. Wasn't expecting Renekton though

ChaosReyn7/4/2019, 3:18:16 PM1 votes

Tbh, they need to remove that from Renekton, and consider making it into an item. Like, there's very rarely any time that shield breaker is going to be relevant, except into very specific matchups. As in, Kench, Janna, Sion or Kled. Sometimes Kai'Sa. And into those very specific matchups, there should be a very specific way to go about it.

In TFT, Sword Breaker builds out of two defensive items...so it's an item that if they were to put into actual LoL, would probably give average or mediocre Armor/MR, and a passive to allow you to disarm. Since Disarm is honestly a horribly unfun mechanic on the rift, Why not make a Shield Breaker item with an active that allows your basic attacks to break shields for 5s on use, and lets say a 75s cooldown on end of effect? People complain that tanky champions do too much damage anyway...why not make a defensive item that gives them a short burst of shield-smashing power, in exchange for picking up an item with mediocre defensive stats and no actual damage increases? inb4 "lel assassins", I doubt ADCs/Assassins would want to pick up a tank/bruiser item with bad defensive stats and no AD, even if the active lets them ignore some defense, and since it's a niche item, it's something that'd only really see play in those very shield heavy matchups.
