it's used a ton in competitive play and retains its usefulness from early game to late game

early on it gives you extra health for towerdiving which is extremely useful if you're coordinated. late-game it's an extra 1k health for your entire team. locket is one of the best (if not the best) CDR option for junglers while being as useful as aegis defensively. considering that the top junglers at the moment (xin zhao, cho'gath, xin zhao, jarvan, xin zhao) benefit immensely from CDR, it's definitely a top item.

It's just a good item. The only champions I wouldn't build it on would be carry champions. On supports, tops, and junglers, it's a great item that works well in any team composition. It is cost effective, and it's a nice item.

I think of it like the old Aegis of the Legion in season 2. You used to get more defensive stats for less money than this new aegis! (But now you can upgrade aegis, so you're not really building aegis to build aegis anymore, it's more of a means to an end)

Anyway, yeah the item is just good.

It's also a very nice item to combine with other aura/support items.
IE) buying Locket of the Iron Solari Shurelya's Battlesong Aegis of the Legion and zeke's herald will give any support lots of bonus stats for his team, nice CDR, and a lot of HP. Not saying you should get all of them, but the new combination of aura items is OP.

Find it a great item when divind people under turrets. The extra shield also can save you or your teammates of ignite every now and then.

locket just has superior stats than aegis for the user himself as a supporty kind of character because it has hp armor and CDR!!!!! aegis is still really good, but alot of champions get more use out of locket. plus the shield gives you more effective health nowadays that penetrations are soooo cost efficient

That extra bit of health (shield) can change fights, which can win objectives, which can win the game. Generally, it's a standard item to get on supports.

The active is really good it helps your team more than Aegis of the Legion and blocks more dmg if you time it right and get it on good chuck of your team. That being said in longer fights
Aegis of the Legion is better extended fights but in terms quick burst etc its better for team.

The Locket of Iron Solari provides you an amazing amount of stats for the gold it costs.

Also, the active shield in the earlier stages of the game can absorb more damage than the Aegis would protect on squisher champs.
So.. If your team all had warmogs aegis functions better. But if you have an ad carry with all damage and an ap carry with all damage the Locket will be providing them with more protection and you with better stats.

And pleases, where he goes.

Elohell is like Irelia's stun: if your real level is equal or lower than the level you are in, you're STUNNED there forever. If your actual level is higher than the level you are in, you're just SLOWED in your way up.
