Either make shields scale with % of target's hp lost or give us an item to counter them.

just nerf supports. Or AT LEAST add some type of skill component to the role. They just use point and click shields with no thought process. They should nerf lulu,ivern,janna,karma ect because of how efficient they are with how little effort it takes to play them.

Allow tanks to keep their shields, while nerfing supports is what i'm saying.

We could just remove the "increases shields/healing" stat from support items IF we had to nerf 'em.

HI, also I played morde when he was free, and good god damn he brings the DAMAGE i was on TT and the jungler was all lez gank the immobile guy. then i was okay have some Qs, much lols were had by me, i can see why you like him. I just have one question, " item 3115 "? I'll probs stick to yi and xayah, but would noooot mind supporting one ( Sona is my go to, she good with him?)

You do have a point. Shields are insane because of higher resistances and lower base health values now.

If I could buff one champion though, it would be Diana, her shield just sucks lol

Diana's shield can be too oppressive though, thats why they nerfed it in the first place. Her shield gets stronger the more ap she gets and if it wasnt for her Double proc shield she would be too strong i think. She needs buffs in other areas though.

Lux has a double proc shield, which was recently nerfed but then they made her ult reduced on kills

Diana needs a new mechanic to make her strong, because every other champ does her job better.

Yeah they buffed Lux because they didn't want to revert her shield nerf. I think Diana needs buffs but I'm pretty sure riot won't address her until diver rework.

shields arent broken.

shield stacking is broken. just adding a grievous wounds effect for shields to the game would fuck up balance towards shields as much as grievous wounds is fucked up.

i dont think there was ever a point in time, where they got the relationsip between heals/health sustain mechanics and grievous wunds into a balanced spot. either gw is far too overpowered and commonly available, like through item 3123 or heals and health sustain are overwhelming.

the only gw mechanic that was ever balanced this far is summoner 14

because picking the ability for its heal debuff is a serious investment, taking up a summoner slot and granting a windowed effect on a decent cooldown.

what they could try to do is remove shield stacking and only have the largest shield at a time applied.

I'm okay with flat shields. If they're better now because of how resistances changed with the item updates, their numbers can be taken down.

With that said, an item to counter shields specifically like we have for healing would be a great addition.

RalanrMay 22, 20172 votes

That would monumentally fuck over any tank with a shield. Shields they need to survive because health was reduced.

GankedByWindowsMay 23, 20171 votes

Then increase tanks shields base to compensate. I'm more concerned with supportive shielding.

ShadòwMay 22, 20172 votes

the whole Shield balance is just a mess.

Self-Shields that are part of a champions kit aren't the problems, it are the shields from champions/items that can shield an Ally that are the problem.

Honestly there should be a cap for Shields that scales with a champions level (or maybe Max HP). That would fix so much already.

Like a Level 1 Champ can't have a shield bigger than 200 on himself and a Level 18 Champ can't have a Shield bigger than 700 on him.

This Shield BS needs to stop. Srsly.

RalanrMay 22, 20171 votes

Whenever people talk about anti shield items, I get worried for champions with self shield kits.

ShadòwMay 22, 20171 votes

yes because they are not the problem and would be thrash after such an item.

but i think a shield cap would fix the mega-shield problem without actually influencing self-shields.

You tried a bit too hard, bro. Your satire became subjected to Poe's Law.

damage counters shields :D

KoKobotoMay 22, 20171 votes

It'd be nice to have a champion that did good against shields. Also give them 100% grevious wounds for fun.

DuskDaUmbreonMay 23, 20171 votes

Says shields are broken. Says "do this thing to ~~crap them out~~ 'balance' them". Lists no real reasons. Experience tells me that shields are just fine, since they're basically the only counter to extreme burst and literately the only counter to %hp true damage.
