Simple QoL for Relic Shield Line

GuiltyGecko··8 votes·444 views

Can we please increase the execute damage on the Relic shield line as you upgrade it? As mid game approaches it gets harder and harder to use the stacks as everyone's abilities and auto attacks begin to out scale your Relic Shield and its upgrades. Late game is even worse. Even if it's just something like

Relic Shield - 200 Targon's Brace - 275 Face of Mountain - 350

That would help SO much with the QoL of this item.

The thing with this item is that you're supposed to communicate with your teammate, or they should know, to let you get the 3-4 minions per minute to maximize it. The problem you are having with the item is a problem pretty much isolated to low/mid tier SoloQ. Riot never balances things around anything but top tier play, so this type of change, I will all but guarantee, will never happen. I don't mean to crush your dreams, but this is just one of those things that push you to communicate better with your teammates.

Riot doesn't only balance around high level play. There have been many times they have made changes due to lower tiers. Darius is an example that jumps to my mind first, but master yi (after rework, before feral flare), and Amumu come to mind as well.

Besides that point though, Riot usually doesn't mind small changes like this if it helps to make life a little easier, so I don't see what they wouldn't do that change since it would take less than 15 minutes to do so.

I still believe that the design is intentional, since the primary reason it's hard to proc the passive is that your teammates are killing them all before you can. Certain situations call for a full waveclear, but a little communication on your end would probably get your teammates to work with you. The way the item is currently actually promotes communication, and that's a thing that I don't think Riot will dispense with, even if it is only a 15 minute fix.

This isn't a QoL. Its just a regular buff.

Not that I'm terribly against the idea, just that you're better off labeling it what it is.
