Little change I just came up with

KennysDreamGirl·Oct 23, 2017·3 votes·254 views

So we all know that adcs are stupid strong rn and I believe this change will help tone down them being so "tanky"(can't think of a better word but you know what I mean) let's have shields have reduced effectiveness when used on the same target. I mean all shields not just shields from items or abilities. I was thinking maybe somewhere along 40-45% effective.. so let's say Janna shields an adc and let's say top laner or jg has locket and shileds adc as well..the locket shield is only 45% as strong as it normally would be. I think this change would be a really good one(of course numbers could be changed,this is just placeholder numbers)

So adcs are stupid strong so nerf support more?

You never said anything about supports being strong. Just that "adcs are stupid strong to fix it nerf support".

Because supports and there items are a big part of what is making adcs super strong and survive just about everything thrown at them

Or because every adc item was buffed and crit is insane. Assassins were gutted and tank itemization was nerfed.

So we're just gonna ignore Janna or Lulu with windspeakers maxing out there shield spell while having ardent to boost shields even more while also having locket for even more shields and while junglers and top laner buying locket too for even more shields then?

I never said adcs don't have problems(being an adc main me saying that would make me look like a complete idiot). This was just me suggesting a change that would make them more vulnerable to burst. Reducing shield strength would indirectly buff assassin's also since adcs won't have all these shields protecting them

Locket scales off of bonus health, something supports dont have easy access to and Ardent is gutted. Top laners and junglers buying support items are not the support's fault.

Assasins were killed by something called counterplay. I understand there was an issue with them but now they have great difficult doing their role because of Riot's fascination with "burst windows". Giving them 3 seconds to kill a target against burst mages and adcs that can do their job in less time.

This is not pro play. I severely doubt that a team comp like that is a common occurrence in solo queue.

What if a thresh throws a lantern then Ekko w's? Would the MASSIVE Ekko shield be reduced by 50% because of Thresh's small shield? That would mean that if Thresh throws his lantern he is hurting his allies directly. I do not see a way it is possible to make a system like you suggested to work.

I never said it had to work, it was only a SUGGESTION. I think if they did this ekkos w would have to be an exception because it only shields him and he isn't shielding allies. this is meant to prevent shielding supports from spamming all shields on just adc.

You said your issue was shields in general from all roles. So are you suggesting that all self cast shields dont have the same restriction? What if Orianna shields then someone Janna? Janna's sheild is much larger and she is actually putting gold into it. Should her shield be useless because orianna decided to press E?

pretty much yes.. that would make it so ori has to think about shielding until after the big main shield comes out

Diminishing returns on Shields would be nice, or an item that does bonus damage to targets with a shield on them and the effect can last slightly after shields are busted. or maybe Grievous wounds for shields on an item. I agree shields spams are a huge concern ATM

A new item would be another cool idea.. mine might not be perfect but it just randomly came to my head and I wanted to see what people thought of it
