Hey I am selected Summoners insigth 3/3 and when I enter game as fiddlesticks I have 0 CDR.... Sorcery works just fine but for some reason summoners insight is not working. This is super annoying.

Summoner's Insight doesn't give your 4 abilities cooldown reduction, it gives your summoner spells cooldown reduction, so it's not going to count towards your 40% CDR in your champion stats.

Ok, so I notice when I select it, it doesn't say 10% CDR like you said, so overall this lowers my summoner spells by 10% and this is on top of my CDR? Formula for cool down rate = ((Initial Cooldown)(.10))(CDR) if it was 100 seconds it would be 90 with summoners insight? then with 40% cdr the cooldown would be reduced to 54 seconds? I'll check it out, i didn't think it was making a difference.

Here's the way this CDR works. Your normal CDR, the one you see in your champion stats, it caps out at 40%, and it only affects your champion abilities, NOT your summoner spells. The Summoner's Insight mastery is the ONLY way to reduce the cooldown on summoner spells, and the max for it is 10%.

So, take Flash for instance. Flash has a 300 second cooldown. If you max out Summoner Insight, it will reduce the cooldown of flash by 10%, or 30 seconds, reducing the cooldown to 270 seconds. Now, even if you get the max 40% CDR on your champion stats, that will not reduce Flash's cooldown any further; it will remain at 270 seconds.

EDIT: Summoner's Insight isn't the only way to reduce the cooldown on summoner spells. I forgot about the Distortion boot enchantment, which reduces the cooldown of Flash, Teleport, and Ghost by 20%. So, if you have the Distortion enchantment along with a maxed out Summoner's Insight, the cooldown of Flash will be reduced by 30%, which would make the cooldown 210 seconds. Still, the normal 40% CDR will not affect the cooldown of any summoner spell.
