Why aren't shields a tracked stat?

Bay B··11 votes·1,050 views

I play a lot of Taric and between my W, item 3401 , and item 3190, I can shield a shit ton. Unfortunately after every game, the only stats shown that are relevant to me are healing and damage taken. . . not near as much as some other supports.

Is there a good reason why shields aren't a track stat? If not would there be a way to include it into the game?

It would have to be a "damage mitigated through shields." Because I could be a Janna with 500 AP and put a 600 shield on my ADC every 10(or less, probably less) seconds. Now, no one could even attack or be near my ADC so that shield is essentially useless but if I wanted to pad my stats I could cast it regardless.

Would have to be "Damage shields shielded" or something like that.

Ive posted several times asking for a CC time tab that tells how long you disrupted the enemy with soft CC or took them out with Hard CC. Leona with Q, E, and R can stun the enemy for a long time all game long but the game doesnt care for the sake of mastery points or end game stats.

They used to tell you how many seconds of CC you were responsible for at kassad.in, so that data is being tracked.

Firstly, it would be 'damage absorbed by shields', it wouldn't show how much you shielded in total, but similar to 'damage dealt to champions', it would only show 'damage blocked by shields'. So yeah, you could spam Janna shield all day with 500ap, but in that situation only the damage you blocked with your shield would be recorded, and honestly they'd probably just kill you first since having 500ap makes you squish AF. Honestly there is no reason for Riot no to implement these stats, unfortunately without them, damage and damage taken will be forever the praised stats. . thanks for the bias Riot!!!!

Honestly I'd love to get a response from someone at Riot. . . .no reason this isn't in the game.
