How riot could prevent two left feet when in a relic shield lane...

There's another thread right now talking about stealing a cannon minion from your support with relic shield, so I dedicated about 5 seconds of my valuable time into figuring out a way to help alleviate this problem. (I'll admit I didn't come up with the name or wording until I was typing this all out) Here's the solution.

New Passive Unique - Sword and Shield: Upon killing a minion the nearest allied champion becomes your sword and you their shield, sharing in the Spoils of War. The linked ally shares your spoils of war charges. Range 1050... (both as an animation around the character and as a buff) Changed Unique passive - Spoils of War: Grants a charge every 40 seconds, up to 2 charges. Melee basic attacks by the Shield can consume one charge to execute minions below ... blah blah blah ... Effect requires an allied champion within 1050 units of the Shield.

Because the passives are unique, you can't have double relic shield in the same lane, and it also clarifies the primary reason that a marksmen would ever want to deny their support the cannon minion... They forget that they're in a lane with a relic shield

Charges are shared entirely or 1:1? Adc will waste charges on minions first usually or lose cs and get pushed for waiting for charge ( at least in soloq) so there's no charges for cannon left.

That'll prevent the risk vs reward melees have to use to get the cannon. Go forward and risk poke or stay back and miss cs? Besides, the adc will waste it on random minions anyway.

I really don't understand this at all. First this means that when you kill a minion that your ADC can then use your remaining charges? Or do you just randomly get gold for whatever they kill without them consuming any charges? If it's the first then you will have the ADC using charges just by last hitting a random minion making it very possible for you to not have any charges for when the cannon arrives. If the second then it'll become the most broken gold item in the game for obvious reasons

How does this at all help? Hint: It doesn't.
