• "So, every 3 seconds, you're going to be going for another attack. Next up, we have one of their newer rooms, and that's guardian. Guard allies within 350 units of you, and allies you target with abilities for 2.5 seconds. While guarding, if you or the ally take more than a certain amount of damage, both of you gain a shield for 1.5 seconds. So um guardian is kind of like the old protector's vow right the passive protector's vow it's kind kind of like lock it gives like a big shield which has a very long cool down right 40 to 20 second the problem with the guardian is that it can be kind of procked before a fight starts so a champion like Ziggs can very easily proc this and you might not get like a lot of value from it Um uh if you're but it's kind of like an if that makes sense. Yeah, this was a passive on well it wasn't exactly this but it's very similar to the protector's vow passive. So it's kind of like an anti-burst protect rune. Obviously guardian will be taken by a lot of protector supports right. Uh the main guardian user is probably Braum, but you can see this sometimes on like Morana or Jenna if they go for like a tankier build. Uh but overall, if your goal is kind of protect your ADC, you will see Guardian. The issue with Guardian in general is that there's not a lot of value in it. The shield is not that big." (42:08)
• "And it competes a lot with airy for shielding champions, right? Ary gives like a very similar amount of shield, maybe like a little less based on your HP, but you can proc it way more often than you can guardian, which has a way longer cool down. And obviously it's only for one person, but most of the time you only care about getting your shield on your ADC. you don't really care about getting your shield on Scion, right? So, Guardian has a few issues like that. It's pretty obvious how Guardian works, so I'm not going to go further into it. And it's also competing with ice overlord, which is really strong right now, but we'll get into that later." (44:04)
