I made a wiki account just for this...

To all you guys calling his passive OP:

It clearly states that he retains a "portion" of his consumed health into a pool of shield...

This means that his shield does no give him more health than he already spent. In other words, it just discounts his total health costs. You guys are completely decieved because what the passive ultimately does it make him appear to die quicker just till the very last second, where his health costs are reverted back into hp again. And this is a hypothetical assuming that the shield is a 1.0 ratio to his health consumption. But its not... so that means he's never going to gain a shield more than what he spent...

The only thing that could remotely be "OP" about this, is that he goes nuts consuming his own HP to increase his health-shield pool, then somehow heals all of that consumed hp by a support or through lifesteal/spell vamp. Given that, and given that the decay of the pool is extremely slow enough, then essentially the passive can actually help him exceed his normal maximum health cap. In all other cases though... he's just gaining some of his hp back... that doesnt spell OP to me at all... just decieving.

Unless they make the decay extremely slow, and make his health costs extremely high, as well as the health-to-pool ratio cloe to 1.0, as well as giving him an adequate time to rebuild his HP after somehow consuming and storing it... Blitzcrank's passive trumps this by far.
