What Atmey meant to say is that most tanks, such as Leona and Taric, do not have excessive amounts of health early game and so a base amount of shield would make rushing the item worthwhile - given that both of them (now) mainly scale with resistances. They are far more likely to rush Locket and then get Brace of the Mountain as a second item (which isn't a problem, but it should be a choice rather than one option being unviable). Of course Sona and Janna won't buy it. Given that the economy items are now limited, they will almost always go for Reverie or Shard.
