Idea for a very situational item

The Ecdysiast··1 votes·286 views

If there's no True damage champ on the enemy team, then it could still be used to counter jungle..

Name Pending Cost 500g. Active: Grants a shield to target ally or Epic monster, blocking 25+(10 x champion level) True damage for 2 seconds. Does absolutely nothing else and does not block other types of damage, or Pure damage. Additionally scales 100 x the number of utility items purchased. These includeitem 3504 item 3190 item 3222 item 3512 item 3056 item 3050 item 3060 . This means that the maximum shield would be 705 True damage (at level 18, with no boots and nothing but utility items.) So realistically, since you're going to buy a gold income item and boots, it'll be 505 at the most. It'll block half of a level 18 Smite and most of a Darius ultimate.

120 second cooldown. Halved if True damage is successfully blocked.

#You could buy it on a jungler very early, if your opponent is going Devourer and you need to prevent them from getting the 5 Dragon stacks more reliably, then sell it later. You could buy it on a support if the enemies have Vayne, Cho'gath, Darius, or Garen. (and later, you have a better chance of stealing the enemy's Baron attempt if it's just you or just you and the jungler)

This is meant to be a very extreme case of a situational item. Since it doesn't give any additional stats, you'd be relying solely on the active to make up for the locked item slot.

An item that counters a handfull of champions extremly hard, but does nothing else ? Bad Idea Dood [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Yeah, sorry I didn't explain well enough how it's also meant to counter jungle.

But I guess reading a quarter of the post is okay.

You do realize that the ability to counterjungle pales in comparison to the nerf to any champion with true damage ?

It's not a "nerf for any champion with True damage."

I explained that it would require your support builging full utility after their boots, income, and this item. The max shield would be almost Darius's ultimate, and in most cases only half of Garen's.

The active : Grants a shield to target ally or Epic monster, blocking 25+(10 x champion level) True damage for 5 seconds.

It can be used on any ally - Put it on 5K HP Volibear and watch him destroy 5 man team, 2 towers + 1 inhib and then 2 towers + nexus. Be careful for what you wish for.

You even copied the whole thing correctly and missed the very next sentence. It only blocks True damage. Not Physical. It would mean nothing against towers.

Put it on 5k HP anyone and watch it not do anything because you're not fighting a Vayne.

With 5K hp voli can trade (EAT) with any champ doesn't (who doesn't have kiting or true damage) ability. Voli scales (too well) with MAX hp . It'll take <1 min for a tower to kill him. That's good enough for him to tank while his team destroys tower. His passive kicks in giving him 1500 HP as soon as he hits 1500 HP ... back to 3K hp in 5 seconds. And there goes nexus.

True damage is (or was) meant against health stacking champs. ( well now, it's just anyone and everyone has true damage). Without true damage, everyone will take forever to kill him.

I once took a whole team attack (everyone lacked true damage) and lived with 50% health and they all died. It was fun to watch.

And that would happen regardless, unless the enemy got to pick Vayne to counter you. Voli being overpowered and easy is a topic for a different thread.

If voli has that true damage shield vayne can do nothing. Vayne gets ops becuz of third bolt true damage. True damage was meant against hp stacking champs (like voli).

You're under some impression that the shield is going to last forever. I didn't say it's a constant shield. It shields for a few seconds. That's 5 auto attacks from Vayne at most, and if it's timed wrong then that doesn't even block her true damage a second time.

Any shield lasting 3 seconds is a god-like shield. 3 seconds is enough to kill a squishy adc.

Please list the primary-role assassins with True damage.

Why just assassins ? True Damage it has list if you are interested to know.

Not every champion with true damage can kill an ADC in 3 seconds.

WUT? Any champ can kill an adc in late game under 3 seconds. ADC don't have armor or health.
