If you have a shield on you it should show on your health bar.
Let's say you have a shielf for 200 hp, make a sort of grey health effect on your health bar

What? You mean like the white bar that's already there for shields???
for serious. some shields do give a health bar buff, but other shields do not... there needs to be consistency here...
The problem is, health extensions would look a little odd switching forward and back. Also, nobody really looks at the main health bar in the short term.
I feel like shields are very difficult to keep track of and with so many champions utilizing them, having the white shield bar display on both the champion's unit frame health bar and the UI health bar should have been something built into the game from day one. I'm not sure if that was something that was missed by the dev team or if its intentionally absent, but it needs to be added.
Being able to accurately keep track of a shield seems like something that should be readily available to the player.
