How come Redemption and Mikaels not increase Mordekaisers Shield passive?

Was testing in training mode and saw they didnt boost my shield.

Edit: meant to say dont in the title, not "not"

Any ideas?

Like, do you mean his maximum shield? Cause that's not possible.

Are you building these items on Mordekaiser? If you are, they actually do work, just not in the way you think. It won't make his shield gauge larger just like with Yasuo, but those shields will indeed absord more damage. Plop the increased shield mastery from resolve onto Yasuo and his lvl 1 shield will absorb 108 damage instead of 100, but the resource bar will still say 100. Morde's shield works similarly, albeit under the hood so it has low visibility. Are you using those items on support? Then that won't work because they're Morde's shield, not the supports.

i thought the shield and heal ups only applied to shielding and healing allies o.o

the way the shield works isnt the traditional shield on the health bar itself, and morde is the only one's who works like that. Yasuo gets an actual shield when his passive activated but with morde it drains more like a resource. Its like how old galio's W was a "shield" but wasnt affected by Windspeakers resistance buff

Morde main here: I have tested this exact thing numerous times.

It increases your healing from W and R.

It increases your shield generation rate from all abilities. Not the max cap shield.

Hope that helps.

P.S. The heal provided by 2nd cast W does apply bonuses from windspeakers blessing. Obviously, it affects allies only.

so basically you generate shield faster but thats about it

seems hardly worth it then

considering the other stats of + shield/heal items like hp regen or manaregen both of which mordekaiser doesn't have

It's really a gimmick thing. Or, it's the most likely way you can play support morde. Redemption is a nice way to help guarantee that R execute. That's about it.

That boost to healing is noticeable. Usually, a reactivate on my W heals about 50%-75% of my health if I hit 2 champs or monsters with it. With those items, I almost always get full HP back.

I suppose it is noticeable on the shield generation and heals but it's more like many of the stats on those items are wasted

I suppose you could get item 3504 to give allies a boost with your aoe heal alongside the windspeaker mastery
