Rebuff banshee veils if you allow bone plating to exist

Banshee veil used to come back on every 40 seconds even if you get hit by a champion. This was removed because it was not easily readable and felt weird and awkward for both sides to win a fight/skirmish simply because your banshee veil happened to come back up at a specific time.

Bone plating is every 45 seconds and the cooldown ticks down even if you get hit by a champion. Why not make banshee veil follow the same philosophy if you completely ditched your previous reasoning for removing this toxic game mechanic?

Do not compare Banshee's and Bone Plating. Bone Plating does not have the ability to block hard CC abiltiies or high damage spells.

bone plating is just as broken and requires 0 investment from the enemy.

They should let Banshee's tick down but not refresh when the cd ends unless you are out of combat. That way banshees isn't popping up randomly in fights but it's also not procced once and never seen again until you respawn.

.....because other than the fact that they're both low-uptime defensive abilities, there aren't a whole lot of similarities between them and banshee's spellshield is a much higher impact effect than bone plating? bone plating makes your trades in lane better and lessens the chance of you getting oneshot by that zed/riven once they hit 6 and inevitably try to jump on you. Banshee's veil prevents you from being engaged upon or picked unless the enemy team is able to land something and counter it.

Banshee's is overall a much higher power level effect, as it should be, though I do think a buffed version of it would be appropriate to add on a map like howling abyss, where poke and fighting is comparatively constant to the way rift works.
