So you're going to nerf Orianna's shield but not Lux shield ??

I know that it's a tiny nerf but if you're going to nerf Orianna's shield then why don't nerf Lux shield too (which is op in my opinion) ????

Notice the shields that were nerfed last forever and were direct targeted. Lux's shield is a skill shot that's easy to miss as well as unable to do the full shield unless it hits twice.

Its easy to miss because your team is blind. Even if you aim perfectly your team will actively try to dodge the damn thing i swear.

I second this.

Every time I try to play Lux, it feels like people actively save their mobility spells to dash/blink/leap/flash out of my shield.

What is this? Overwatch?

6 seconds is forever. 5 seconds is long. 4 seconds is pretty alright, and 2.5 seconds is way short. For reference, Lux's root is 2 seconds long.

What's the point here? That a targeted shield that lasts for 4-6 seconds is comparable to a skill shot shield that only shields for half going in and half going out?

I'm just saying that not all the shields that were nerfed were too long and needed it. Janna and Lulu for sure, but Karma and Ori?

Just to be clear I don't think Lux's shield needed a nerf either, and i'm glad it didn't get one. If the goal is to add counterplay to shields/add skill expression to the shields then the hardest skillshot shield in the game with the most counterplay would be a dumb place to start.

While i dont agree with the blanket shield nerfs, Lux's is a skillshot based shield and already on a pretty short duration unless both land, and cast shield is already fairly weak.
