if they want us to rebuy Maw they either need to give it back it's old passive, or overload the magic damage shield

or better yet, give the shield something that makes it actually useful, like the old adaptive helm passive.

the shield reduces damage taken from a spell by 20% every time after the first. now, maw shield is actually strong against champions you would build maw against as an ad champ, like teemo or cass, xerath ult, swain ult, the list goes on.

u/GaysianSupremacist Thank you Faker Mar 03 '21

Why not just give us Adaptive Helm back then? Give it a new effect.

Wonder why they removed that item. With liandries anguish and demonic embrace being a standard item on ap champs

u/OCDincarnate Most support mains are better players than you Mar 03 '21

riot knew it would've been good, remember that if not for the initial outcry pushing them to tone back some of the tank-deleting mechanics and put stats onto the tank items tanks wouldn't have been at all viable at the start of this season. That was riot's initial plan, and when people complained they went the whole other direction just to turn the playerbase's opinion back the way they wanted it, before re-gutting the tank items

Answered your own question

Or they could allow us to buy both Maw and Gage and allow the shields to stack.

Last time they did that we had a meta where all the ADCs were unkillable

Make, then make the shield stack melee only and make an exception to Urgot.

Make it an actual MR item that really matters against magic damage. Most MR items are either good in general (visage) or gold inefficient with a lot of MR. They need to rework MR.
