Relic Shield is Stupid Broken Right Now
On ADC.
ADC's are able to get relic shield to survive their laning phase. Relic shield provides for ADC sustain in lane, gold for support as well, and tankiness. Relic Shield also has a % increase in gold generation that further helps ADC to get into their late game status even quicker. The relic shield passive and active allows ADC to basically become a huge tank that burst champs cannot burst through despite outplaying them.
https://gyazo.com/4d15ca76a09ae5a9b1b45fc718ea0d2a Here is a small gif of a fed Ahri landing all of her abilities with 3 complete damage items(including gunblade) against a Twitch who only has blade of ruined king, hurricane, incomplete IE build, and relic shield.
From the gif we notice that Ahri engages with her w and r, she casts q and lands the return the true damage portion of it, then lands a charm, gunblade active, and ignite. From the looks of it, Ahri should have been able to burst twitch. Twitch had no mr items. However, relic shield alone gave twitch a huge amount of protection with an added lifesteal from his other items and summoner spell barrier twitch was about to outduel a fed assassin who landed their skill shots.
Can we look into nerfing Relic Shield on ADC? Thanks.
