This can be broken down to 2 things.

#1 BIG SHIELD #2 BIG AD

My beef with it:

The item so far doesn't seem to be melee only. This is a huge issue because I guarantee you graves and the like are going to pick it up. The item still gives joke-amounts of HP. I would propose toning the shield value down to 50% and giving the item more HP. Ideally it would also scale off of bonus HP so that it's optimal on heavy fighters and only decent on lighter fighters.

All this being said, it's nice to see steraks getting love, even if said love isn't necessarily in what I would consider the right direction.

EDIT

I see the pbe was updated and it's a bonus HP shield.

Shield is bonus health only now. If you aren't building health your shield isn't worth a damn. It's essentially allowing full tanks to have a damage item.

It's a juggernaut item, it should have damage and health, i think it's perfect for juggernauts now, no ranged carry will buy it just for the damage and shield

it's actually a slightly smaller shield on standard Illaoi build

i'm expecting it to be much better on Garen/Darius though since they usually just get cleaver and then tank

I think the shift to bonus is good for making it unwanted on ADCs and the AD boost more than makes up for what we lost in cleaver a few patches ago

really happy about it honestly
