Darius just pulled this in Ascension mode and pretty much could not be harmed by magic attack unless it was 1v5. Pretty sure getting 2 Spell Shield sources from items shouldn't be workable, Riot.
Intended or will this be nerfed?
Drakylon2 votesWhat I'm more worried about is mages not being able to respond to AD champions at all once said AD champions build Edge of Night + Hexdrinker (and eventually Maw); especially burst mages. Block 1 spell which is either 1/4 of their damage or set-up for all of their damage, block another 1/4 of their damage with the Hexdrinker shield and survive the other 1/2 with all that free magic resist, then proceed to maul the mage.
darkdill1 votesYeah, that'll be even nastier. But since Maw lost its ArPen, it isn't QUITE as good for assassins anymore.
But if an assassin or Juggernaut got 
all together, it'd basically be lights out for ANY mage. But I'm gonna guess Riot will say "The counterplay is to not let the enemy get that big", which I call bullshit on.

Maw got CDR, which means it's still good for most AD champions that don't need ridiculous amounts of AD to do damage. Furthermore, Lethality (and Ghostblade, one of the three full Lethality items in the game right now) kind of sucks right now anyway so assassins are even more likely to grab something like a Maw to make themselves harder to kill.

GarthBrooksXD1 votesand the assassin rework was supposed to make counter play against assassins possible but now everyone can pretend they're nocturne (AND NOCTURNE COULD GET 4 spellshields at the same time! LAMO!!!)(morg e, noc e, banshee, edge of night)
Erockandroll1 votesI think it's too early to tell. Considering that those are two very different items, that are unlikely on the same build stat wise, Riot would be in theory, be okay with champion trading that stat synergy for an extra special defense.
And if it does become an abuse case, Riot can always change it later.
darkdill1 votesOn a juggernaut like Darius, the stat combo isn't that bad.
