What if Barrier shielded for a % of max health?

Currently shields for 115-455 damage from levels 1-18. Roughly speaking, this amounts to between 12.5% to 20% of most champions base health values throughout the game.

The spell is meant to allow trades and extra survivability compared to , and it does so, but only on squishy champions.

What if instead, the shield was for 12.5-20% of total health (based no level)? There are many tanky champions that would benefit from the shield, and having it would take away a summoner slot for Teleport or Ignite so it wouldn't be without risk.

Would a Tank replace summoner 12 for summoner 21 ? Trick question, because there are no Tanks in top lane META right now. But if there were, the question remains: would they trade TP for Barrier? I don't think so.

What other champions take Barrier over something else? Those that do usually are not buying HP.

I don't dislike the idea, but it's just meh. It wouldn't change much.

Ehhhhh. As much as I think barrier definetly needs a bump in power, I don’t think this is the right direction with it.

honestly same as Febos, the only bruiser/tank that i like barrier on is kled and despite building hp it wouldn't scale on him because "reasons" (see locket of iron solari)
