We actually could use that as a skin. All his sound effects become little squeaks and all his particle effects produce fluff.

Sion is missing a fun skin.

Wanted to jump in here quickly as the wording was slightly unclear on the site. Courage only grants the shield for you when you hit a HARD CC onto an enemy. Meaning an effect that makes you lose the ability to move your character - stuns, roots, fears etc. It's got a decent cooldown on it, and the shield can get pretty damn big. We'll give more context on the changes once they actually make it out.

Nautilus really does love the mastery though. As well as other hard initiators.

So no shield on Nausus W and Thresh R who might as well be a snare? XD

Plot twist: It scales on gold. ;p

Can't have supports taking anything other than bond or wind speakers.

What about riven, Does it work on her?

RiotSquad58 votes

It works for anyone that can apply an immobilizing CC onto an enemy champion.

nekochan3 votes

Does it scale with the number of CC'd targets? I.e. Sej?

RiotSquad521 votes

It actually scales with the number of enemy champions around you when you hit your CC.

The enemies take 8/12/16/20/24 magic damage plus 1/1.5/2/2.5/3 (+1% Ability Power)% of their maximum Health each second.

adding this mastery is fine.

but why remove stregth of the ages? i was hoping youd make the mastery more useful in lane instead. reduce the stacks off cannon minions, and grant 1hp stacks on regular minions, so its not terribly snowbally and reliant on getting every single cannon minion.

So HARD cc, as in slows, or frozen mallet wont affect this? Just curious!

RiotSquad520 votes

Right, slows won't trigger the shield.

Are there any plans to help out non-engage champions who relied on Strength of the Ages?

Or even engage champions who highly valued the health for whatever reason?

Are you at least planning on monitoring those negatively affected by this change? This affects a LOT of junglers, as well as potentially Mundo, Morde, Vlad, Cho, and a few others.

RiotSquad517 votes

Yea, it's something that's been brought up internally. We're going to be paying attention to those guys for sure.

WoonStruck9 votes

That's great to hear; thanks for letting us know!


Since SotA was considering 'boring', why is Fervor not getting changes? Its basically the same thing, but offensive instead of defensive, with SotA having far less balance issues and being far more stabilizing for the game.

Fervor single-handedly ruins the ranged vs melee dynamic, basically making it so melee can't lane vs them in the majority of cases, as well as proving to be a huge balance issue at several points.

What's the reason this game-breaking keystone isn't being replaced as well?

Malicious Metal2 votes

Is Mordekaiser on that list? :9

RiotSquad55 votes

The biggest callouts were Morde, Mundo, Olaf and Shyvana. Others of course could be affected, sometimes the ripple effects of changes like this can cause unexpected results as well. Like if a meta-favored champion gets nerfed a very specific one could take it's place that was previously held back.

Not that cassiopeia would want this, but just wondering.

RiotSquad56 votes

Nope.

What about turning someone into a squirrel? Does that count as hard CC?

Question: Does Braum get a shield when someone else triggers his passive, or only when he triggers his passive?

RiotSquad56 votes

Currently Braum will get the shield if someone else triggers his stun. If that gets annoying we could probably fix it, but I think overall Braum would more often than not prefer it that way.

That's very insensitive. The poor guy was LEFT TO DIE by his fellow sailors, leaving him to drown and sink to the bottom of the ocean.

You insensitive jerk!

SaltyToplaneGoat7 votes

Well I personally think he is dead.

He pretty much croaked in the Black Mist, and that stuff is not only in charge of making stuff undead, with it certain other things seem to find their way into the world as well, such a Vilemaw...

We don't even know if under that suit he is still human, or if it is just something that has taken him, eaten him inside that suit and now takes his place with a few remnants of memory and personality remaining? That would also explain why he could fly when he jokes...

If you know Metroid: Fusion I'd point at the SA-X here, exept with a load of existencial horror on top of ti...
