I do want to point out that shield builds are extremely underrated They give Effective Health points that go above 100% of your max hp without increasing your max hp So it's good vs fiora/vayne/viego, and all the other %max hp dmg dealing champs Although it's pretty unreliable build because it's easily Countered by just one item, Serpent's fang Also it's not very reliable vs flat dmg I recommend adding some effective health by adding armor or magic resist to the build Also this build is unreliable vs full ad team, cuz it relies a lot on Spirit visage, which is anti ap I wouldn't say it's meta, but definitely good build path in certain Match ups if someone spams Vi every game then every few games this build can shine Also it's good if you already have something like karma in team
Yeah everything you said is pretty much true, I don't know how far you went into the video but towards the end I fight their Vayne and I live really long because of the shields you mentioned. Also yea there is some armour missing in the build which is why I went steelcaps this game (could also go deaths dance). It's also good that serpent fang is an item people rarely build (0.65% build rate) and by the time they see what I'm doing it's late in the game already :) I've played this quite a lot and it gave me almost 60% win rate so I hope it doesn't get nerfed soon 🙏 hope you enjoyed tho
Good idea, I thought about that but felt that buying the mana tear early and waiting for it to stack up would be kinda awkward and take time but yes, I would definitely buy it if the game lasted long enough as 4th/5th item for sure 👍 might try next video
another day, another slay
double scaling health seems weird but I'll check it out
Sion Q at 8:04 was unreal, what pro team roster is he on?
The new top laner for T1 I think 🤔

@@drunkm1di As an aside, I found any sort of shield build, heart steel pairs well with it, due to how shield bash scales.
@@SeraphBlademaster yeah that could be interesting, next video 😎
sick vid
You could go winters approach 3rd or 4th item i think to increas the shielding ev3n more + it is cheeper than steraks

Would locket work with this as another item that's cheap? Gives a shield to everyone but also has a nice bit of stats
I did think about it but since the stats aren't really significant I didn't try using it in the build, maybe next video 👍
Why do you not use Last stand in such a build instead of Coup de grace?
Yeah you could make the argument for last stand, I'll try it out now thanks for your comment 👍
definitely sleeper op and or will get nerfed eventually. Nobody likes to build Serpent fang.
Yeah definitely taking advantage of that right now, so much fun to play 🙌
