I know they said it grew more quickly over time but it seems to be decently strong by the time you'll get it. I recall having 230 shield at level 11 and 290 at like level 13. So I think it continues to grow by 30 until level 16 when it then grows by 35 for level 17 and 18. When you're a top lane Jax or Jayce against a Renekton, or Garen, or Darius you have more dps than they do but you still need lifesteal if you survive the duel and need to heal up. In order to survive the duel you need some bonus health. That's where BT comes in. Its cost is still prohibitive though. Also does anyone have any idea how fast the shield decays after 15 seconds out of combat?
