Nerf stopwatch timer to 13 minutes and it will go back to being used on the specialists

Stopwatch is universally taken because it can change the early game. Every class takes it because it can turn something terrible into something amazing in a time where people can abuse it.

ADC's take it because earlier dives can be avoided and thus letting them retain their lead/press their lead

Junglers take it for the dives and turret juggle

Top takes it for the same reasons

Mids take it because they build zhonyas

Making it active at 13 minutes means everyone is guaranteed to be level 6 no matter how feeding they are, they have less impact because the game has progressed more and dives aren't as relevant.

ADC will stop taking it because they cant cheat death early game

Junglers will stop taking it beause they cant cheat death in turret dives

Tops will stop taking it to cheese lane

It will go back to being used on the primary AP's who build zhonyas and vulnerable mages against assassins.

I think stopwatch is annoying, but balanced. Like its just bringing something new and interesting to the game. I think most people are having that "can't teach an old dog new tricks" type of attitude. Like no one wants to deal with the change just because its a new frustration.

The real problem and annoyance in the game is the overflowing amounts of shields and heals imo.

Uh no nobody wants another flash in the game that totally breaks the early game.

I just vs'd a team who had 5 stop watches on every single player top to bottom. Then used it to constantly tower dive and cheese their way through the game, I don't think it's balanced at all why should anyone be able to have a stasis for just taking the Inspiration mastery. At least extend the time that it takes to get stop watch not 6 min?

You should have perfect timing and magical footwear on the same tree so you can't take both it just seems unhealthy. item 3070
