Runic Blessing

Currently Runic Blessing gives you a 50hp shield every time your respawn.

Basically this mastery which requires 16 points in the defense tree only blocks about a single auto attack and does not scale throughout the game. I would love some attention to be brought to this mastery and I have a few fixes in mind.

  1. Make the shield refresh upon returning to the base, like home-guards or sightstone stacks.

  2. Make the shield scale off levels, 50hp level 1 + 5 per a level.

  3. Make the shield scale off maximum health, 5-10% of maximum health.

I'm sure there's other ways of fixing this mastery but currently I hardly see this mastery being used and have never seen it being useful.

TLDR; Runic Blessing Mastery needs some love

I agree. The first time I saw it, I thought it did refresh after recalling. I took it on all of my tanks. Now I think I only have it on one of my jungle pages because that's pretty much the only place it's even slightly useful.

Making it scale off of maximum health is not only broken, but it invalidates 2 champion passives that i can name off the top of my head. Malphite and Vi. Nobody wants a mastery in the game that just gives free passives to any other champions. Scaling per level may be arguably better but it is still garbage. AD and items also scale per level. In the end, it would be too weak to block more than one AA from a champion at level 18. Or it would be so strong that it would be taken on every tank and would be too difficult to get through. There is no balancing of a mastery like that, it just needs to be taken out of the game altogether.

They need to just revert to their original idea: A nice early game sheild that never regenerates. That way, they could balance it to be a solid early game investment for surviving hard match-ups, and avoid the abuse cases.

I don't think the defense tree needs to get any stronger.

Runic Blessing

A late-tier mastery that is only useful in level 1 invades.

I think it just needs scaling and or refresh on fountain. You could just replace it with HP/lvl.
