Remember when shielding wasn't a problem?

So then Riot pushed it to being a problem with items like item 3401, item 3504, item 3190+item 3193 along with buffing and focusing champions around their shields. Which has now lead to creating items to prevent overshielding even though it wasn't a problem before and it's legit just Riot not hitting the problem.

This is why League has so many issues Riot. You can't pussy foot your way around every single issue and then throw in half-hearted solutions to things that don't actually solve the problem.

I also remember when nobody picked shields/healing and just went mage support every game.

Remember when all those items were around for all of 2017 (stoneplate is May) and some were even nerfed. Ardent censer was such a lowly picked item back in March that most people didn't even know what it was back then. Riot then nerfs it making it way worse than it was and suddenly everyone wants to build or whine about the freshly nerfed item. I don't understand how people think. I tried convincing people on the boards that Ardent Censer first item on Taric was strong and people called me crazy. Back then, it had about a 1% build rate on Taric for any build order. It now has about a 15% build rate as the first completed item now that it has been nerfed.

Because back then, Ardent had to compete with Redemption and Locket for an item slot, when they were hilariously broken

FotM was never a problem item and Locket was fine before they added the hp scaling mechanic
