1 second silence is cancer, 1.5 second AoE silence isn't

But muh assassin. Cause putting yourself in incredibly danger to make one person is somehow unfair compared to being in zero danger and making it impossible for assassins or bruisers to use abilities on the ADC.

Basically Riot's new philosphy is if a melee does it it's cancerous to LoL, if a ranged does it to shut down a melee, perfectly fine.

Give me a break, where is the counterplay to Soraka silence? Not only is it AoE but it lasts for close to 2 seconds. Basically making it impossible to chase or fight in the jungle. How is this better cause it's "on a support." Give me a break.

Borigrad: Guys I keep getting silenced by Soraka, this is bs! Team: Just move out of it. Borigrad: You're all idiots, that's where I want to stand! <Borigrad has been muted>

You can move away from Equinox though.

Counterplay is the reason for this. The 1.5 second AoE silence is a counterplay mechanic designed to stop others from making a play. The 1 second silence prevented counterplay. I can't think of a better way to put it, but if someone else thinks of a way please do.

Supports can't secure kills on their own (unless they're massively fed). Her silence needs someone else to follow up with some damage. Talon could do it all on his own.
