- Combine cost increased to 825 gold from 725 gold.
- Total cost unchanged.
General
- Lifeline shield changed to 400 to 700 for 11 from 320 to 720 (based on level) for all users.
Immortal Shieldbow should be a strong defensive option that clearly sacrifices damage compared to other AD crit options, but meaningfully increases your durability. This Shieldbow buff should do quite a bit for anyone seeking some burst resilience.
General
- Lifeline shield increased to 320 to 720 (based on level) from 320/350/380/410/440/470/500/530 (at level 1/12/13/14/15/16/17/18).
Removing the lifesteal from shieldbow will allow it to fit as a third/fourth item to round out crit builds and offer a defensive choice that's not sustain-based.
General
- New Recipe: Pickaxe + Noonquiver + 725 gold = 3000 gold.
- Old Recipe: Pickaxe + Cloak of Agility + Vampiric Scepter + 625 gold = 3000 gold.
- Attack damage increased to 55 from 50.
- Critical strike chance increased to 25% from 20%.
- Life steal reduced to 0% from 12%.
General
- Life steal increased to 12% from 10%.
- Lifeline shield increased to 320/350/380/410/440/470/500/530 (at level 1/12/13/14/15/16/17/18) from 290/320/350/380/410/440/470/500 (at level 1/12/13/14/15/16/17/18).
- Removed: Triggering Lifeline no longer grants 30% bonus attack speed for 8 seconds.
Shieldbow is a little weak in its current state, but we're really happy with cutting it off from being a good first item purchase as it quickly makes champion interaction in lane less meaningful. But if players want to buy it second, it means delaying a high-value option like Infinity Edge, Galeforce, or Quickblades, which is a meaningful opportunity cost. We're comfortable with players making that trade-off decision, so we're amping up the early shield value to make it more enticing a bit sooner. Overall, we’re happy if players more equally consider Shieldbow or Bloodthirster as their crit-lifesteal item of choice.
General
- Lifeline shield increased to 290/320/350/380/410/440/470/500 (at level 1/12/13/14/15/16/17/18) from 215 to 500 (based on level).
Players have (for the most part) identified that Shieldbow is not a good first item. Unfortunately, the item just isn't very strong when purchased later, either. This is a relatively light buff, but one that crit users should be able to feel in the mid game.
General
- Life steal increased to 10% from 7%.
Demoting Immortal Shieldbow to a legendary item meant trimming its statline down somewhat. Shieldbow makes sense as a generically-accessible source of anti-burst for crit users, so it’s got an easy-to-appreciate stat profile of attack damage. One note of caution: Shieldbow is not meant to be bought early as its shield does not increase until level 12.

Immortal Shieldbow has made some marksmen and fighters a bit too, um, immortal. We're bringing it down a bit so that there are larger tradeoffs to consider when comparing it to other marksman Mythics. (Its Ornn Masterwork Item, Bloodward, will now have 65 AD and the same changes to Lifeline.)
