Take shield or don't take shield, it's your preference.

The thing is, even if you do get shield, using it when you trade hits with your opponent really isnt worth it. That's how people run out of mana and complain about Jarvan's "mana problems"

If you have the proper awareness that top lane demands, you won't need your shield to survive ganks.

All in all, it's just user preference. I end up taking the shield myself a lot of the time too.

AD quints.
