Well pre patch siphon on a creep wave would give him around 500~ at rank 5 which is a pretty huge amount of shield. When I first saw the patch preview I thought 250 would still be reasonable, but now you dont actually get shield from the aoe portion, so now you siphon a creep wave and get around 30~ shield. Siphon a champion and get 60. Ok this shit is just bananas. He needed small numbers tweaks not a complete rape of his E. Other than that I was perfectly fine with losing a lot of laning shield being being completely incapable of generating any shield on demand sucks since creeping death in the middle of a creep wave can hardly generate enough shield to balance out the minion damage you're taking.Ephemeral wrote:
his laning phase was too ez if he never got ganked. the extra 8 shield per minion hit netted you a maximum of like, 80-92 shield per cast - it pretty much hauled the health cost into your shield if you hit it properly.
You're not hitting people with mace of spades either in lane so don't get your hopes up. Unless they know they can kill you so they let you hit them, in which case you cant hit them with it and come out at a good trade.
