Give me that $ 40 next week I can get it to $ 80 <| sep |> In season 2 we had greater aegis , which provided a 20 % dmg mitigation for 4 seconds following it and had 40 seconds less cooldown than the current Aegis , it also cleansed minor cc . The moving version existed but was always considered inferior vs the majority of enemies . Now to survive a Loki burst as a squishy target you need to pop beads and Aegis on a 160 s cooldown , compared to the 5460 second ultimate Loki will have with appropriate cooldown . Now you get no mitigation and Loki gets roughly one extra ult every aegis cooldown period . So yes , Aegis is overall worse for most of the game , even if you ' re buying it earlier . If you don ' t think that ' s a better situation for Loki then you aren ' t playing him right , simple as that .
