Thoughts? Possible cooldown is like Exhaust/Ignite = 210 sec

What can be done with 1 second of invisibility? Personally I think invisibility as a summoner spell is a horrible idea, but I'll entertain the idea.

Right now most people are playing mobile champions. This spell would give champs like Trist the ability to jump in unseen, burst someone down, and jump away as they begin to react. Assassinations are about all it would be useful for, but that is mainly due to the duration. Low mobility champions would be at a significant disadvantage as they are unable to use it to the extent that mobile champions can.

That said balancing this thing would make it almost unusable. If you increase the duration you allow for immobile champions to put this spell to good use, but you also give full assassin/burst mage teams the ability to take down the entire opposing team before they have a chance to react. Keeping the duration low would be required, and that limits it to a group of champions who are already strong in the current meta.

I can't really imagine non abusive cases of invisibility being the best option for a summoner spell.

Also, it would make Kha'Zix feel sad. His ultimate's low impact enough without giving it to literally every champion.

Whether or not Invisibility as a Summoner Spell is a good idea will depend highly on it's implementation. Is it an instant stealth or can it be delayed? Does the stealth break if you Flash or use certain abilities (Rengar can use Q in stealth without breaking it, Shaco can ult, etc)?

Personally, I don't think it is a good idea. There are more creative ideas for new summoner spells. I would rather see a Jungle or Support item that gives brief stealth (perhaps to 1 target or like Smoke of Deceit in DOTA); this would also be much easier to balance.
