Shielding Battering Ram

Materials:

  • Raptor Cloak
  • Jaurim's Fist
  • 700 Gold (2800 total)

Stats:

  • +200 Health
  • +25 attack damage
  • +40 armor
  • +150% health regeneration
  • UNIQUE: Killing a unit grants 5 bonus health, stacking up to 30 times for a maximum of 150 bonus health. Aditionally any turret destroyed while you were nearby (800 units) grants you 25 bonus health (up to 4 stacks)
  • UNIQUE - Point Runner: Builds up to 20% bonus movement speed over 2 seconds while near turrets (including enemy turrets), fallen turrets and Void Gates.
  • Aura: UNIQUE - Siege Enthusiast: Attacking an enemy structure grants you and nearby allied champions 30% attack speed, +20 armor as well as 15 additional on-hit true damage against structures for 2 seconds.

I created this item for all the supports that go for the "Relic Shield" route. With the use of Relic Shield it should be an easy task to gain the minion kills needed for the bonus health passive, which is more or less the same Jaurim's Fist has except for the bonus health from tower kills. The stacks gained while having just Jaurim's Fist are also meant to transition upon upgrading it to this item. I also feel like many lost interest in building "Banner of Command" and "Zz'rot Portal" since the creation of Gargoyle Stoneplate, so I think its time for some more siege centric items to find their way into the shop. I felt like a battering ram also makes sense for the type of champions I designed it for as most champions that go for Relic Shield are of the "Muscle Man" type (except for Leona of course) who could handle a battering ram easily. Just think for a second how brawny most of them are:

Braum? - Check! Taric? - Check! Blitzcrank? - Not really muscles but I doubt he would have much of a problem with it, which means check! Alistar? - Check! Nautilus? - Check! Thresh? - Meh... Tahm Kench? - Debatable. Even off-meta supports like Trundle, Sion or Ornn are mountains of muscles.

Explanation for the name:

Although it should be self-explanatory I wanted to clear up the "shielding" portion of the name. I thought of the item as a combination of a battaring ram and a medieval siege shield. I wish I was any good at drawing. Would make things easier to explain.

It's cool that you designed an item for supports that go relic shield, But toplane. Damage, armor, AND health? Juggernauts rejoice, perfect item for them.

i like the idea but it's also an expensive item for supports, most of their items are between 2000 and 2400 gold and its an item where bruiser and tanks alike will be just to happy to have. i actually thought it was a top lane item before reading the end

what i would suggest is remove the ad. the reality is support can't really use it that effectively and replace the jaurims fist with kindle gem or Crystalline Bracer. supports love cdr and regen. you might have to reduce the amount of health and armor to. for the passive force it to be stacked will next to allied champions hopefully that will make it a support exclusive item.
