Itemization Versus Shields - Answer to Enchanters?

Random thought:

How cool would anti-shield Items be.

You could have one that blew up a targets shield with an active that dealt some portion of the shield as damage to that champion so that people like Lulu and Janna had to actually think about whether or not its actually a good idea to shield someone versus just being a braindead shield battery.

You could throw in all sorts of fun effects too other than just damage too. They could slow attack speed, negate lifesteal for a time, damage all friendlies around the shielded target, etc. Shit you could do lots with it.

Another crazy idea, what if the item had stats such that it was only viable for Top Laners/Tanks/Divers and Junglers so it didn't just become a new ADC item. Make it like ravenous hydra where its melee only, or you could put actives like that on tank items.

I think its worth noting that you should be able to accidentally hit non-shielded targets and waste your active so there's some finesse involved in hitting it at the right time on the right person and not just mashing.

The other idea, which I like less, but maybe still viable to so have some AP/AD item that had a unique passive that dealt extra damage to shields or had a cool effect like the aforementioned ones whenever you hit a shield but could only happen once every 60 seconds or something.

Let me know what you guys think and expand on it if you feel like it. Could be kinda cool.
