first off: its 100% **BONUS AD** scaling not 100% AD and: you know that **you get WAY more AP** then bonus / total AD right? like Rivens itembuild gives her about 300 bonus AD while a generic mage / AP itembuild gives you 600+ AP so if these mages have at least 50% AP scaling on their shields then the bonus they get is the same as Rivens shield so if we take a look at the other scalings: >{{champion:99}} 60% (can also shield allies), {{champion:131}} 30-60% (also deals dmg), {{champion:61}} 40% (can also shield allies & deals dmg & bonus resi), {{champion:518}} 90-250% (but its on her ult), {{champion:68}} 50-75% (also gives mobility), {{champion:13}} 60% (+ mana scaling & mobility), {{champion:517}} 90% (+ mobility & dmg + cc on 2. cast) [{{champion:6}} 150% bonus AD (+ HP scaling & dmg & cc & mobility), {{champion:240}} up to 300% bonus AD (but its on his ult)] as we can see: Rivens shield scaling isnt even out of line all these other shields also get the about the same bonus from their scalings also every shield has its own strengths: > some of these shields are spamable -> {{champion:68}} {{champion:13}} some of these shields have a great uptime -> {{champion:131}} {{champion:99}} some can be used on allies as well -> {{champion:99}} {{champion:61}} some of these shield also deal dmg or cc -> {{champion:131}} {{champion:61}} {{champion:517}} {{champion:6}} ({{champion:518}} {{champion:240}}) some shields are massive -> {{champion:517}} ({{champion:518}} {{champion:240}}) some shields give mobiliy -> {{champion:68}} {{champion:13}} {{champion:517}} {{champion:6}} and see how every of these shield fall in at at least 2 categories? {{champion:92}} shield would fall to the exact same categories as {{champion:68}} and {{champion:13}} -> spamable & mobility so thats also nothing special (btw {{champion:92}} and {{champion:68}} shields have the shortest duration of them all with 1.5s up time)

oh yeah i totally forgot that Riven is the only champ in the whole game that has a shield that scales on her offensive stat {{champion:99}} {{champion:61}} {{champion:131}} {{champion:518}} {{champion:68}} {{champion:13}} {{champion:517}} {{champion:6}} {{champion:240}} obviously dont count

> Are you sure you didn't halve Vayne's Q cd during her R ? And Conqueror on Riven maybe ? thats exactly what i thought as well seems like Riot has a grea memory they cant even remember what they did a couple patches ago

or make Conqueror a rune that just gives the healing (no bonus AD and true dmg) that would also be a cool keystone imo (im a big fan of lifesteal so i would love a keystone that focuses on lifesteal / healing on dmg dealt)

btw: #**pls give us a visual update for Riven in the near future!** her ingame model is rly outdated and looks pretty garbage (like wtf her ingame-hair isnt even white and wtf is that face xDD) and her "updated looks" from the awaken cinematic look way better (for example: the smaller shoulder plate made out of iron or something the smaller iron gauntlet so she doesnt have this huge goofy glove anymore the facepaint like i said: the white hair xP ect)

in Patch 9.4 we will get the VFX update for Riven {{champion:92}} but i'm really disappointed that **Championship Riven wont get updated!** i know CS already has unique visual effects but i rly think you should add a few things from the update! if you dont update the Championship Skin then her rarest skin will have the worst visual effects of all her skins! and that would suck so much ... rarest skin but worst VFX :( >**updates i would like to see for the CS skin:** >- **updated Ground damage VFX from her 3. Q** currently the cracks are only there when she lands - in the updated version they stay for a very short time - **add the new "impact visuals" from her 3. Q** i like the updated version where she blows up dust when she lands her 3. Q the new impact visuals feel way heavier and way stronger! currently CS 3. Q only has a very slight shockwave when she lands which cant keep up with the new visuals - **add the blast from her W** currently CS W is pretty much the same visual as the W from her (current) base skin the shockwave from her W is a great improvement and that should be added to CS as well - **update her Windslash (2. R) to the new version** the new R2 looks so clean and cool and it makes it feel more like a "slash" currently CS shoots out 3 weird looking metal parts with her R2 i think the idea was that she shoots out her sword parts? which doesnt rly make a lot of sense (and it doesnt look like it) the new slash feels way more satisfying and fitting! - while you're at it: **fix the bug from CS Q + R** theres a bug for a long time now where CS Rivens 1. Q doesnt have any visual effects while her ult is up that should be fixed as well **i really hope Championship Riven will get some visual updates as well!** **Riot pls! dont ignore this awesome and rare skin!**

the visual effect update for Riven {{champion:92}} got changed a bit on the PBE and i like it a lot more already! stuff like - removing the small green explosions each AA - making her W look more like a shockwave improved her VEU a lot imo! the [Skin Spotligh video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEN4KziPuLY) shows all affected skins and those are: - **Base** - **Redeemed** - **Crimson Elite** - **Battle Bunny** (i rly like those changes a lot xD) - **Dragonblade** when i saw this i was really disappointed beause **Championship Riven didnt get updated!** CS Riven is still my fav Riven skin so i rly wanted to see it updated as well!

god Brand with the new Conq so his stupid max HP dmg is partly true dmg that sounds aids or that moment when the global true dmg Karthus ult hits you xD

wow thats awesome!

sad but true RIP Irelia

lul true but maybe those champs are considered to be in the "difficulty making an all in happen when they want" category ... which doesnt rly make a whole lot of sense tbh but maybe Riot is thinking like: {{champion:23}} : can only go all in if his fury is build up {{champion:86}} : has no gapcloser and only a MS buff which makes is harder to engage all ins {{champion:114}} : can only go all in if a vital is pointed in her direction {{champion:39}} : can only go all in if she hits her stun (lul she has to hit her ability! what a condition xD) but in reality all those champs can "making an all in happen when they want" (only Garen has problems if he cant reach his opponent with Q and Irelia has to hit her spell - but tbh every champ has to hit their spells xD) but {{champion:164}} doesnt fall in either of those categories :P

i agree with most of those things here are the the things from your post most important to me / i agree with the most as TL;DR: - *(general)* **updated makes her feel like a champion that throws poison everywhere** - *(passive)* **too large area of the blade is being affected by this VFX** - *(W)* **It feels like you're just casting a larger Cassiopeia Q on yourself, not like a burst of energy** - *(Q and W while R is active)* **I feel like the particles during that moment could do with quite some extra oomph.** - *(AA)* **Why remove the blood from Auto attacks (and Q hit)? The current on-hit particle makes it feel like I'm playing Twitch and not Riven.** _________ pretty much the only things i dont agree with are: 1. >- the circle on the ground for Q1 and Q2 is too much >my thoughts on this: those circles are mainly there as a hitbox-indicator! i quote: "improve gameplay clarity. [...] Q - now properly show the area of damage"" just think about all the other champs and their hitbox indicators! first champs i thought of were Anivia (R) and Cho (Q) for example all these champs just have a out-of-place clolored circle around their ability imo Rivens new hitbox-indicator is WAAAY better thant those stupid colored circles on the ground! Rivens Qs leave cracks on the ground that look way more interesting and cool compared to colored circles on the ground and tbh they did a good job with the cracks on the ground because they even added the detail that the crack is deeper / more visible in her direction of view 2. > - sword reforging animation >my thoughts on this: i think (not 100% sure ofc because we never saw such an animation!) a whole animation where her sword build up in just 0.25s would look way to rushed i thinkg its not enough time to make a goodlooking and satisfying animation but the most important part about this: is there rly a need for a reforging animation? because 99% of the time we cancel the R animation with her other spells! so the animation wouldnt play at all when canceled anyways or it would lead to awkward moments where the sword is buildng up (mid-animation) while we already use her other spells / AAs which could lead to confusion because we already have the increased ranged from R but the animation doesnt show us the long sword in that moment

to be fair ther Q circles are there to **make the hitboxes more clear** yeah without the circles it would look more natural and fitting (like you said: "way too precise for a warrior-like hack n' slash type a champion") but by showing the circles they can make the hitboxes way more clear think about other abilities in the game like Anivia {{champion:34}} R or Chogath {{champion:31}} Q for example (i bet there are a ton of other examples as well but those came to mind first) all those spells also have a circle around the hitbox **and imo with the update Rivens hitbox-indicator looks WAY better than from all those other champs! because in Rivens case her Q leaves a crack in the ground** and that looks way more interesting and powerful compared to those other hitbox-indicator because those are just colored circles on the ground and tbh they did a good job with the cracks on the ground because they even added the detail that the crack is deeper / more visible in her direction of view

about the VFX update for Riven {{champion:92}} : **Autoattacks:** i dont like that random green explosion after each hit and dont rly understand WHY there is a green explosion after each hit xD did Riven tie fireworks to her weapon or something? makes no sense to me **Passive:** has the right idea (showing more clearly when she has a passive satck) but i dont like how the glow is on top of the sword the glow on top of the sword makes it looks like the whole sword is green for a moment also: when her R is active then its just too much green :S green around the sword and green on top of the first part of the sword i would prefer it if there was a stronger green glow on her had or something and not another visual on her sword **Q:** the change is good imo because the hitboxes are more clear now **W:** i dont like the new W it looks like someone is pouring a green liquid down on her and she gets a short circuit (with the green lightning bolts) because of it o.ò it looks really silly i think it would look way better if her W would be like a shockwave / wind-blast around her! so something like Sions W when the shield explodes or Warwicks E when he does the AoE fear! **E:** the change is good it didnt change much tbh but now the thematic makes more sense (her sword parts are around her and block dmg) **R1:** it looks good because the glow makes it feel more powerful pretty nice imo **R2:** the shape of her pojectile looks dope! it looks so smooth now :D but it looks like a green laser beam or something and NOT like WIND slash! **overall**: i like how the hitboxes are more clear but i think its just a bit too much green on her spells now -> green explosion after every AA, green glow on her sword with P, green glow around her sword with R, the W looks like a whole bucket of green liquid + green lightning bolts, green laser beam with R2 **Riven is a swordsman that has some wind elements in her kit (hence the name of her R2 "Wind Slash") - but the update doesnt rly show it that well** :/ _________________________ but the most important thing: >**pls give her a visual update!** **not just a VFX update! she rly needs a whole new model!** **her model looks really bad! its not only outdated - it also just looks bad** **pls update her visuals and base it on the looks of the Awaken cinematic!** in the cinematic her color palette was mainly beige & brown & black (from her iron armor parts) - so it had no random green and purple parts it looked waaay more fitting! also in the cinematic she didnt have such a huge and goofy glove xD instead it was just a awesome iron gauntlet which looked super sick!!!

> Sustain is generally a tool we give to characters who have weaker all ins, or difficulty making an all in happen when they want. eeeerm ... ok? {{champion:58}} ?

its mainly his passive every single ability baiscally deals 4% max HP dmg as well and when he gets 3 stacks on you its just risiculous lets say Brand hit 3 spells at the exact same time - so there are no additional %maxHP proccs from his passive so he applies 3 stacks = 12% max HP ofer 4s after 2s it explodes tho and deals 12% - 16% max HP dmg (hes at least lvl3 for this example of 3 spell hits at the same time = 13%) so the max HP dmg from his passive is: lvl 3: 6% (2s passive) + 13% = 19% max HP dmg @ lvl3 lvl18: 6% (2s passive) + 16% = 22% max HP dmg @ lvl18 and on top of that: the explosion also has a AP scaling ... so because of the scaling even a **support Brand** does AT LEAST 5% bonus max HP dmg when full eq so 27% max HP dmg + EVERYTHING ELSE HE DOES and those numbers are only if he hits 3 spells at almost the exact moment so if you get hit by a spell once before - then you have take even more damage from the passive cause of the dot his passive is just overtuned it deals way to much dmg just for you hitting your skills ... btw: **thats probably why on the PBE his passive got nerfed already** ____________ > dodge his W witch has the same diameter as a corki Q or Rakan W **well good thing Brand also has a 1050 range, 1.5s stun on a ~4s cd (with cdr)** i cant remember Corki having a stun so he can guarantee his Q hit Rakan has cc to guarantee his W, but he doesnt completely one-combo you from 100 to 0 after he hits it ____________ also keep in mind: yes Brands skills might noth have the highest scalings compared to other mages (cause you said only his W has decent base and scaling) but dont forget that **every single skill in his kit AND HIS PASSIVE deals dmg**

i gotta say: i like playing Fighters (mostly Divers like {{champion:39}} {{champion:164}} {{champion:64}} but also some juggernauts like {{champion:122}} ) but i rly think a couple Fighter / Bruiser items are the reason why it makes them kinda unfair / op / unfun to play against and thats what i dont like about them! **they sometimes feel more like "a bunch of items" than a real champ!** >**the main problem: Trinity Force** {{item:3078}} it rly feels like you are full equip after you buy TF ... 1 item full eq so many fighters just **transform from a champion to a Trinity-Force-Proccer** wich feels super bad most of their damage comes from this one item and everything is based on procing it non stop just imagine champs like {{champion:39}} or {{champion:164}} (or {{champion:24}} who is a Skirmisher) without {{item:3078}} **they would be complete garbage!!!** so the whole champ is balanced and based on 1 item?! that is such bullshit tbh ... _______ >**Titanic Hydra** {{item:3748}} is one of those items with the problem of "full offense buid vs full defense build" its one of those items that is supposed to be the "lower dmg but with tanky stats" item but somehow it just outclasses the offense option Ravenous Hydra {{item:3074}} it gives good dmg + survivability while also giving a "bursty" active which is also a AA reset also the AoE from titanic also hits your main target while ravenous only deals dmg to everything around the target idk i think Titanic is just too good as a offensive item while also beeing tanky the dmg from titanic should rly be hit in some way

thats no excuse for his ridiculous ability numbers thats like saying champion XY is an assassin - he is supposed to kill champions because thats his job - so ofc his Q deals 999999 true dmg like wut? sure champs can have their own identity and role in a team (like dealing high dmg) - but **champs can also be too good in what they do**

yes! that's true!

>* Damage output from different profiles of character (e.g. output from **a full offense build, versus a full defense build**) * Ability to survive damage along the same lines (**full defense build, hybrid builds, full offense etc**) yay Riot might finally see that **full defense builds clearly outshine full offense builds!** your dmg stay almost the same in a fight over the course of the whole game defense builds deal WAY more dmg (i ton of times the most tanky guy deals the most total dmg to champs in the game ...) AND your also super hard to kill because you have a defense build in most cases the reason for this is: >* Where damage is coming from (**base abilities**, ratios, item unique effects, runes etc) the base numbers of abilities (and also some items like Trinity Force {{item:3078}} etc)

pretty sure thats what it means aaand Riot fucked over Fighter players ONCE AGAIN!!! WOOHOOOO who would have thought?!?! (the answer: 99% of all Fighter players already knew Riot is just fucking with them) those items were promised to us half a year ago and now here we are at a point where Shojin is just a nerfed Essence Reaver fucking great ...

they hate Fighters / Bruisers we wait for half a year just to get completely fucked over again ... thx riot but ADCs get like 7 buffs in a row + item buffs in about half a year pls favour ADCs even more Riot! ... (i knew they would do shit like that ... i already posted a couple of times that its kinda obvious that they will not lease Shojin EVER and they will just fuck us over again its so typical for Riot) srsly all Fighter players should just quitt playing top at this point we just get fucked over anyways we should just all become ADC mains so the playrate on top gets even lower than it already is

y and they will keep on fucking over Fighters because Riot fucking hates them the REAL / ORIGINAL Shojin passive & Dragon Heart is what we need / want / were promised but now Shojin is a cheap and worse ER knock-off ... i think at this point Fighter / Bruiser mains should just switch over to beeing ADC mains from Riots most hated and most fucked-over class tho Riots fav role that gets buffed like 7 times in a row -> the playrate / popularity of top will go down even more :) maybe Riot will realize Top is also a lane when no one plays it anymore (well no one besides Tank players - and those aren't a lot of players xD)

the current ER also gives 5 AD more yeah its "only" 5AD, but thats another 175g that just got removed from the item so in total the item gives less stats and the other passive is missing 300 mana = 420g, 5AD = 175g (and we cant rly figure out how much gold the other passive is worth) so the item lost 595 gold in stats & 1 additional passive and its still 3000 gold so champs with mana (like Jax etc) got f-ed over kinda hard manaless champs lose 5AD when buying the new ER / Shojin btw: they removed Sapphire Crystal {{item:1027}} from the item this **COULD HAVE BEEN nice for manaless champs** **but it DOESNT EVEN MATTER AT ALL!** because they just added the 350g from Sapphire Crystal {{item:1027}} to the combine cost! (thats why the item is STILL at 3k gold even tho they removed 1 item from the recipe)

i hope with "broken" you mean like: "its wrecked" and NOT "its overpowert" because this (new) Shojin is just a worse (current) Essence Reaver if you didnt realize ... so Shojin ends up beeing a nerf and nothin new or gamebreaking ... the NEW Essence Reaver is "broken" - the "overpowert" kind of "broken" another crit item with high AD ... thats so braindead the new ER and IE cost 6.6k gold and gives ADCs 293 dmg on each hit Fighters have to spend almost 13k gold to get the same dmg on hit ... (thats like 3.7 (so almost 4) RHydras / DeathDances / etc (= one of the items with the MOST AD in the game)) and thats "only" EACH HIT! its not even their DPS ... cause ADCs also have WAY more attackspeed than Fighters so ADCs with these 2 items outdamage Fighters with almost 4 items

well it was SUPPOSED to help full AD / full dmg Fighters / Bruisers but they just completely fucked it up again :) because they hate Fighters / Bruisers now its just a worse (current) Essence Reaver it doesn nothing of what its supposed to do :) they fucked it up big times but they managed to give ADCs ANOTHER huge buff the THEIR new ER! so Fighters lost ER, got a nerfed ER in the form of Shojin - which makes it clear that we will never get a REAL Shojin but ADCs got a HUGE buff cause the new ER FOR ADCs is super strong (60 AD on a crit item HAHAHA) f*ck you Rito

nope Riot isnt that smart they buffed ADCs one by one and buffed them again and again and again and again and again and again and again again and again and again so they are already way 2 strong again and now they will release these items - and those will be another HUUUUUUGE buff so ADCs will be beyond broken League of ADC 3 - 5 ADCs in every team and Riot will be like "oh wow! why are they suddenly so strong?! ... oh well we love ADCs so we wont change shit! let the be absolutely overpowert for multiple seasons again"

buy riot loves their ADCs! they need to be even more broken! they want "League of ADCs" where ADCs are so broken so that every team has 3 - 5 ADCs in their team :) because srsly - why play something else other than ADCs? they get buffs and buffs and buffs with all these changes they outclass everything

jop thats Riot for you we waited half a season and now we get a nerfed essence reaver and thats it ... awesome right? but hey! ADCs just got ANOTHER huge buff!!! SO FUN! -____- very funny Riot

Shojin was intended to be a item for full AD fighters (and NOT ADCs! they were even thinking about some stuff like making it melee only etc) but now they completely fucked up Shojin ... they just took ER away from Fighters and made Shojin a worse ER sure - the mana on ER wasnt needed for some champs (like Renekton) so the build path wasnt perfect for them but now the item is just worse cause it costs the same and lost 5AD and 300mana so the item in general is now weaker (only the build path for manaless champs got better)

this Shojin is just a nerfed (current) ER and nothing else so a item that was supposed to help full AD Fighters is now a nerf ... great ... such a disappointment ... they completely fucked up Shojin ... so Fighters got nerfed and ADCs get ANOTHER huge buff cause the new ER is kinda insane for them ... what a time to be a non-ADC-player ... guess everyone should just become a ADC-main at this point

its still a nerf cause it lost 5AD for the same price and its "another nerf" that we will never get the REAL Spear of Shojin that we wanted (= a offensive item with some sorts of defensive ability) and to top it all of: its a HUGE buff for ADCs AGAIN ... yay ...

yes something like this would be nice i actually like your idea those changes just completely destroy the point of Shojin! Shojin was (like you said) a item desigend for high dmg / full AD fighters and was supposed to give offensive stats and SOMETHING DEFENSIVE (so they dont get one shotted instantly) but with those changes Shojin will just be a nerfed Essence Reaven (worse stats then ER and nothing else) and we would never get the ACTUAL Shojin passive we want these changes are a complete disaster this Shojin would just be A NERF for those Fighters and not something that could help them ... its such a big fuck up! they wanted to release a item that helps those champs but (right now) it ended up beeing a nerf ... (but sadly i can already see how these changes go live ... Fighters / Bruisers will get fucked with the changes but ADCs will get ANOTHER huge buff ... who would have seen that one coming? ... nothing new for Riot to fuck over Bruisers / Fighter ( / or even Top in general) and just focus on making ADC incredibly broken)

**you guy can't be serious about the Essence Reaver{{item:3508}} & Spear of Shojin{{item:3161}} changes** this has to be a joke right? Bruisers / Fighters are waiting MONTHS already for Spear of Shojin and Essence Reaver right now is a item that Bruisers / Fighters can use as well but now you guys want to make **Essence Reaver completely garbage for Bruisers / Fighter** **and make Spear of Shojin a worse replacement for ER?!** so the old Shojin passive - the thing those high dmg / full AD fighters wanted **IS NOW COMPLETELY GONE?!** so we waited more than HALF A SEASON to get Spear of Shojin - WITH THE PASSIVE WE WANTED **BUT NOW SPEAR OF SHOJIN WILL JUST BE A WORSE ESSENCE REAVER?!?!** (5 AD less and no 300 mana) > Essence Reaver {{item:3508}} will be removed completely for Fighters / Bruisers with these changes Spear of Shojin {{item:3161}} will just be a WORSE Essence Reaver {{item:3508}} (less stats then the current ER) AND because you will make Spear of Shojin {{item:3161}} just a worse ER - **YOU JUST COMPLETELY DESTROYED THE WHOLE POINT OF SHOJIN!!!** **SHOJIN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A OFFENSIVE ITEM FOR FULL AD / HIGH DMG FIGHTERS THAT OFFERES SOMETHING THAT PREVENTS THOSE CHAMPS FROM BEING ONE SHOTTED!** **SHOJIN IS NOW A STRAIGHT UP NERF!!! AN ITEM THAT SHOULD HELP THOSE OFFENSIVE FIGHTERS IS NOW A NERF!!! YOU CANT BE SERIOUS** **ARE YOU GUYS OUT OF YOUR GOD DAMN MINDS?** why the fuck would you do that shit? you just completely fucked up Shojin ... good thing we waited half a season for it with those changed high dmg Fighters are now worse off than before and the item we waited for the whole time is NOT what we wanted / what we needed / what we were promised ... so Fighters get completely fucked over again **BUT ADC GET ANOTHER SUPER STRONG ITEM?!?** **60AD AND 25% CRIT?!? ... so now ER is in every crit build -> so ADCs deal ANOTHER 135 bonus dmg (60 x 2.25) every hit ...** you gotta be kidding ... the reason Infinity Edge {{item:3031}} is so stong is because it gives 70AD for a crit build = because you CRIT with a CRIT build **EVERY SINGLE AD YOU GET FROM ITEMS GETS MUTIPLIED!** **so IE goesnt rly give 70 dmg each AA - for crit users it gives 158 dmg each AA (70 x 2.25)!!! that is HUGE!!!** so basically 1 IE {{item:3031}} gives about as much dmg as 2 Ravenous Hydras {{item:3074}} !!! **AND NOW YOU WANNA MAKE ANOTHER HIGH AD + CRIT ITEM?!?! ARE YOU GUYS INSANE???** **thats (like i said) another 135 dmg each hit!!!** **so ER and IE together gives ADCs 293 DMG EACH HIT!** **-> THOSE 2 (!!!) ITEMS GIVE ABOUT AS MUCH BONUS DMG EACH HIT AS 3.7 RHs {{item:3074}} / DDs {{item:3812}} / etc ( = the highest AD items in the game)** **THESE 2 ITEMS - THAT ALSO GIVES CRIT CHANCE AND OTHER STRONG PASSIVES - FOR A TOTAL OF 6600g, GIVE AS MUCH DMG AS 3.7 ITEMS WITH THE HIGHEST AD FOR 3500g EACH = 12950g!!! WTF** **SO ADCS GET FOR 6.6k GOLD THE SAME DMG AS A FIGHTER WHO SPENDS ALMOST 13k GOLD?!?** great ... that seems absolutely fair ... (and i already know: 1. no one form Riot will even read this 2. IF Riot reads this they will just ignore it 3. they will bring these changes to the live servers because it fucks over Bruiser / Fighter players - and thats what they want)

updats on Spear of Shojin pls

any news on Spear of Shojin? ANYTHING? all you said so far is that you guys are not happy with it all of the sudden ... when it was on the PBE you guys said its rdy to go on the live servers! the item was done and you were happy with it then you didnt release it cause you stretched the mid-season and it "felt like another big change in a already messy mid-season" then you just didnt release it the whole time and now all of the sudden your not happy with it (you were fine with Shojin back then - like wtf) ______________ because you're trying different things with it (at least I HOPE YOU DO - you guys dont tell us anything so its just guessing at this point >.>) have you tried something like this: > dealing dmg to an enemy champion gives you a shield for x% of dmg dealt. if 3 or more enemies are around you the shield gain gets increased to y%. the max shield cap is based on your AD + a small base number - the shield is kinda like lifesteal (or even more like Deaths Dance heal passive) and kinda like the shield from BT but the big difference would be that it only works vs champions (so you cant heal up / get a shield on minions) - this also would make the item less abusable because the shield is based on dmg dealt -> its only beneficial for high dmg / full AD fighters (and those are the champs Shojin is designed for) (also the max shield is based on your AD - but you probably want even reach max shield cause you only gain it in combat vs champions) sure this idea might not be ideal but its just a random idea i had maybe its useful for you guys - idk i just hope we'll get an update (or a random - out of the blue - Shojin release) soon

>slows enemies on-crit LOL xD i hope your not serious ... ADCs also have bonus movementspeed on a bunch of items which makes it already such a pain in the ass to even get on top of them - and it already makes it impossible to run a way from an ADC and almost every ADC has multiple options to disegage / escape / etc just look at something like Tristana {{champion:18}} : Rocket Jump with huge rage, wich can be resetted multiple time, and an ult wich has a absurd knockback or even "high risk high reward" champs like Vayne {{champion:67}} : a short dash with her Tumble, invisibility with her R+Q and a knockback with a potential stun - also: running away from a Vayne is already impossible because of her bonus MS from passive + Q + bonus MS from crit items other ADCs have other stupid (and op) options to escape etc - like Xayah {{champion:498}} with her unfair ability to remove herself out of the game ... the list goes on and on so how the F are u supposed to do ANYTING against ADCs when they also slow you each hit???

thoughts on Zed? hes a f*cking cancer champ that can oneshot someone he ulted even tho he misses all his spells, can poke / stay safe from range even tho hes a melee champ and he can blink around the map without any casttime and with no max range which makes fighting him extremely frustrating

>keep making marksmen irrelevant lol nice joke buddy your not happy with the fact that ADCs can kill everything (besides tanks) within 2s max just by autoattacking? u rly want ADCs to be even more broken so they oneshot everyting with 1 AA? yes that seems super fun for non-ADC-mains :)

ADCs are still incredibly strong atm ADC mains are just complaining that they got weaker but even after ADCs got "weaker" / "nerfed" - they still are stronger then everything else in the game (tho tanks are pretty busted as well atm - like you said: **TANKS** can oneshot / onecombo champs while beeing unkillable and on top of that they can hard cc someone for 5h) the problem is that ADCs wont stay like they are atm! they get buffed again ... so they get even more broken again

if you guys nerf Tiamat {{item:3077}} just because ppl dont upgrade it immediately then go nerf Oblivion Orb {{item:3916}} as well! most mages buy it for the flat magic pen and dont upgrade it immediately as well (only if they need the heal reduction)

eeeerm you know **Toplaner build Tiamat too** right? this change would just fuck all those toplaner completely while giving AD jungler an even easier clear ... ... but now that i think about it ... - it fucks toplaner - it helps jungler -> jungler clears even faster -> jungler can camp toplane even harder hmmm i guess it does look like something Riot would do tbh they love to make shit that fucks over toplane

fuck no! what are you thinking?! or should i say: what are you smoking?!? **ADCs dont build Tiamat!** so why should they observe or even buff champs that build Tiamat?? ADCs are like to only thing Riot rly cares about (and i guess tanks just because how absurd tanks are ...) **League of ADCs!** fuck everything else ... i cri evrytim ...

y thats what i think as well i dont rly want to get 2hit by every single ADC every fucking game currently they need like 3-4 AA to kill someone :O ThAtS sO wEaK! bEtTeR bUfF AdC! tHeY nEeD tO oNeShOt EvErYtHiNg! *buuuh huuu* i FeEl SoOoO wEaK! i think quitting before the ADC buff come is the right move tbh ...

dont nerf Tiamat {{item:3077}} ... wtf riot why would you nerf it?! the only nerf that would be ok if its a jungle-only nerf something like: the AoE from Tiamat deals less dmg to monsters so many junglers rush Tiamat just for the clear

League of ADC this game is so great if your not an ADC main ... not xD lets make ACDs absolute broken tier again cause they were bad for a half season before they were broken af for multiple years! thats not fair that they suddenly got changed / "nerfed"! i hate riots decision making

sooo crit items got changed **12 PATCHES AGO** and now in 9.1 they already get buffed again (aka it will be absolutely broken again) **Spear of Shojin** was supposed to be released in patch 8.12 but RIGHT NOW its no where near of beeing released ... ofc the fighter item gets delayed over and over again (and will probably never be released) but the ADC items get fixed cause ADC aren't the as absolutely broken as they were before and you guys dont even give us usefull feedback about Spear of Shojin (or Atmas or ANY FIGHER ITEM UPDATES like the Hydra changes etc) ... all you say is "we are not happy with it" ... you dont tell us what you tried, what didnt work out, what was too strong, what was too weak, etc you dont tell us anything useful ...

> probably early next year we ( = bruiser/fighter players) already know that wont happen but nice try fooling us again :^) i guess we just have to live with the fact that Spear of Shojin will never be released
