Correct me if I'm wrong, but is Bone Plating REMOVED for the sake of Shield Bash?

PBE did not mentioned anything about Bone Plating. Yes, I read that "Shield Bash takes place of Bone Plating", but does that mean BP is stripped off of the Rune System rather than it being placed somewhere else?

Bone Plating is a defensive rune. Though Shield Bash has "shield" in its name it actually provides 0 defensive stats and only grants damage.

Yeach it should heal instead of doing damage. We need more tanky runes

Dude, it is followed by BASH.

Like, armor pen has armor in it but it gives 0 defensive stats...

Where all the complaints about tenacity in precision or null orb in sorcery?

Lets see some consistency please.

From what I understand, it also makes your shield 10% stronger EDIT: I think they described it wrong in the description... It does damage and makes your shield stronger :L https://imgur.com/YW9HrVP

Bone plating should have never been added to the game.

Don't worry. Riot took two things that their customer based complained about... Too much damage, and too much shielding... and added a rune for both lol

It's going to be a lot more balanced when preseason comes (outer turrets gets a lot tankier).

Its not balanced. The plates give STUPID amounts of gold. Over the 300 first turret if you get all plates and first turret. Aka bot lane is a fuck festival AGAIN. 14 minutes all outter turrets get 0 armour and mr. Demolish literally 1 shots the turrets.

Ziggs Tristana Xayah Sion Kaisa etc.

So far turrets are WORSE than this year. Nice and even more paper.

Only good thing about new ones: you can't dive anymore till 14 minutes. YAY.... [sg-syndra]|

Edit: Also forgot. 1 demolish takes out 1 plate practically every time. Meaning guaranteed gold.

Edit 2: dont talk if you know nothing :P and haven't played it

I still don't see how any of these are worse than our current paper turrets we have. Usually laning phase ends between 8-10 minutes, or takes a single Recall to get your own turret shredded by 40-50%, or first turret after making a TP play.

Turrets are still that way. Just saying its as bad or worse.

R.I.P. Squishier toplane carries with this change. Bone plating was what gave squishier melee carries the chance not to get crushed by lane dominant bruisers and the higher early base damages of tanks (Ornn Sion ). Funnily enough the new rune is going to be busted as hell on both those tanks.

Didn't most of the items in the game today start out as masteries?

Like how the old Bladed Armor mastery became item 3076

or Greed becoming standard on all gold items.

Presence of the Master becoming item 3158

etc etc etc

Bone plating was broken. Made bruisers extra tanky for no reason.

They are replacing a pure defensive rune on a defensive tree for a pure dmg rune.

Something something "dmg too high so we will reduce it"... Ya adding another offensive rune while removing a defensive one helps alot with reducing dmg in the game
