Nobody knows what relic shield does

{quoted}

it can be bad in lane sometimes, but people start grouping in mid game u can guarantee your gold income from that item, is zero, no one is EVER going to let u kill a minion, it's pretty sad.

+1

I try to let supports kill the cannon and whatnot, but oftentimes if they’re not even in the lane yet, I’m not going to wait. Shoving lanes is pretty important and relic shield’s passive can be contradictory as you would need to let minions get close to your own turrets.

It's made worse by champs that have an actually legit reason not to let you.

Nasus, Veigar, and Sion have good reason not to let you get the final blow, because the minion is worth more than just the gold to them. Honestly, I think relic passive needs work.

It's always the minions you can't get...

The best is when a team is losing and they start to troll by flashing to clear the wave before his allies come xD

Honestly though, imagine if the healing scaled with bonus HP, then maybe some eyebrows would raise at that income item and it would be a more competitive option, perhaps even too good.

Or when your laners see you walking towards a wave of 20+ Minions to sit there and soak up the hp with overgrowth, so they ult to make sure to kill every last minion before you get there.

or when u ping that your like at 92% exp until lvl 11 which cuts off 30 second off your ultimate cooldown.. and they don't let u get in exp range because "its more important on solo laners"

RIGHT.. because getting you from lvl 13 at 20% exp to lvl 13 at 70% exp is "somehow" more important than me getting the base stats per lvl of the next level and from drastically lowering the cooldown of my ultimate and nearly doubling it's damage.

because "support don't matter"

or when you like 50 gold from a massive item like ( on morg) or

and they dont let u last hit the minion becuase "support dont need gold", and they need that gold to go from 400 gold to 470 gold when thier building .

like great lets let that gold sit in your inventory for the next 5 min while u get the rest to complete to item. as opposed to me trying to finish my core item fight before infernal is spawning and i need to prepare for a teamfight

seriously it takes all my self control not to tell these people to "go fuck themselves".

Or the already maxed out ADC solos 3 waves for no reason, when the tank with 4 Relic charges moves to it to get some items for himself to help the team even more.

That Alt + F4 does look mighty tempting sometimes...

Let's just say I "missed" that next Taric ult. The Vayne was just out of range.

Playing Zoe or Bard is a nightmare, except in Bard's case they have an excuse because @RIOT STILL HASNT LET ALLIES SEE BARD'S CHIMES

WOULDNT IT BE NICE IF THE MINIMAP TOLD YOU WHERE YOUR TEAMMAGE IS GOING TO ROAM WHEN HE NEEDS TO? Nope better rely on pings that no one listens to and interprets as flame

Support is not even the most rarely played role anymore. If they release another champion or two like Pyke and market them for the support role, I have a hunch it would become the most popular role in the game.

buff brand's waveclear, nerf his CC/ult and force Supports to take Exhaust + Support items.

Nobody in bronze. My silver teammates seem to know what they're doing

My silver teammates don't

theres glowing orbs around their character to tell if they have a stack. However if its cannon wave they typically have it coming up by the time minions start hitting it
