Should they really have shields?

Shiroyashayami··6 votes·2,750 views

Look at new champions. Neeko has a random shield on ult. Sylas also has a random shield in his kit. Neeko's shield on ult shouldn't be there. It is completely random. As if creativity went out of the window. Sylas has already good kit, he doesn't need that shield, but hey, at least it isn't huge.

Neeko has her shield because it's an ability that requires a squishy mage to be in the middle of the enemy team.

This ult also works as a better Amumu ult. Stuns better than Amumu, does more damage, protects her and has the same range, but is mobile. Maybe she should sacrifice something for an aoe stun.

Amumu's ult is instant.

That is why its worse. Neeko can adjust her ult. If she used it badly, she gets few seconds to move and get it right. Amumu just goes in and prays that he hits enemy, before he gets out. Also, did I mention that his range is lower?

Amumu's ult is instant. He cannot miss it. If he manages to miss it anyways, that's his own fault for missing an instant cast, instant effect AoE.

Actually, the moment you see that someone got pinned down by Amumu's Q, you have like 1.5 to 2 secs to flash away from your teammate. But then again, Amumu is a Tank i dont expect him to have a shield while he ults my team. So its understandable that neeko has one "just in case". Morg has her E while she ults in, for example. That's the closest reference i have.

He's still hitting someone tho. Hitting less than everyone isn't the same as missing it.

Getting out of Neeko's R is the same as getting out of Morg's R - run in opposite directions. She'll hit someone, but she'll only hit that one person (Maybe two people) if the enemy team isn't stupid.

Maybe Neeko shouldn't do so much damage from this ult then. If she is safe during ulting, it is an aoe ult and she can move during ulting. Also, why is the range on this ult so huge. And hitbox on her e is weird, even if you dodge it, it still hits you. It is probably one of the champions that I consider underrated at the moment. She is broken as fuck, just people are monkeys.

Zhonya's should cancel any channeled or semi-channeled ult, tbh.

Make using Zhonya's cancel Fiddle R, Kennen R, Morg R, Heimer RQ, and Neeko R.

You cant just bring up zhonyas evertime some balance issues occour. Ardent got nerfed, because itbwas a must buy item fkr supports. Im asking now what about fking Duskblade and zhonyas? they are in 100% of all apc or assasine builds. Why arent they gutted entriely, like you did it with enchanter. Stop this bias to certain champs and classes, aswell as stop saying that zhonyas is counterplay to anything. Its maybe a measurement, but its not ok to force every apc to buy it.

So that her intented weakness to be a squishy mage is not an actual weakness and you can't burst her away if she just randomly tries to ult into 5 people. Why expect people to use their brain and wait for the right engage, nah just slap that shield on her.

Pyke does not have a shield in his kit. That grey health simply regenerates when he can't be seen by the enemy team. It doesn't soak up damage at all.

Shiroyashayami3 votes

Didn't know that. Ok. I take Pyke down from here. And actually thanks. Maybe I will stop banning him in every match now ... nope, still will permaban him.

Saevum1 votes

Yeah, if he manages to execute a red buff wielder champion, his health regen pays off. Hard.

no its even more ridiculous, because he just gos into a bush if hes low and bam full life. You get ganked ur adc dies u lose 90% hp. No problem, use w, bam fulllife. You cant dodge and get poked like hell? No problem use w, bam fulllife. Pyke is a joke and showing the issues this game has perfectly. True dmg the scourge of League of Legends.

She only get the shield while she's frozen in place by her own leap.

But that shield last a little while after she has ulted. So she is protected after the ult. At least Riot removed slow from it, because it was 100% hit.

Sylas in my experience is really squishy early, so the shield is supposed to help his durability in trading.

In my experience he is quite tanky, but ok. I guess everybody plays different League of Legends novadays. Some people actually enjoy this game ... those sick motherfuckers.
