A SEASONED memory came to me (memories of Xerath)
_Back in the day, actually in Season 5 when I was amongst the best 700
's in the world, when S6 started some changes in real life and in the game made me drop him for good... _
#Changes:
1) Riot started to experiment with trinckets
, I think we all remember the Blue Sphere that got removed. "since Scryer Orb -blue starting trinket- does almost the same thing that {{summoner:2}} does we are removing the latter from Summoner's Rift for good."
2) the Internet conection in my country went to hell, actually It is officially the slowest connection and worst service there is in America, and when I say officially I mean it, it is official, no jokes.
I found my self playing horribily because of 2 reasons; My whole strategy was destroyed and the lag didn't help me... and you might say; Did you have a real strategy? Yes, because {{summoner:2}} is the summoner spell of a strategist, Scryer orb was nowhere near to replace it for the real user's of such summoner spell, but I will tell you how I used it (and refer to it as CV):
-In the first moments of the game I used CV upon the enemy fountain to know the direction the enemy jungler will take and the starting items of the enemy team.
-After 60 seconds (or less with cunning) my CV would be up for another use; track the first prey of the enemy jungler, as it sounds, I used it for this; I would go to the current position of the enemy jungler and with a good CV and Q I would time the moment to steal his first jungle monster, it worked most of the time (70%), the addition of the first trincket ward made it difficult but I just used the red trincket to remove it. With a good and proper composition I could just try something more evil (if I had a Cait, a Shaco, a Varus, a Lux or a Jayce with me the enemy jungler was the first blood for sure, we just waited back out of sight and used or range or stealth when the moment was right).
-Afterwards I would use it to track the position of the enemy jungler constantly, it was not only an adventage but helped prevent ganks and also helped in the counterjungle.
-The other big use was rather mainstream for a Xerath; using CV to avoid launching your ult in the dark, it helped a lot, I mean it, A LOT.
-The regular use was also good; check objetives, avoid facecheck, track enemies.
My conex is now good enough to play during the nights, but I don't believe I will return to play as a main Xer once again until I see {{summoner:2}} returned to me, and I write this because I hope Riot realizes they have left a void for me and maybe for other payers who were fond of using Clairvoyance; you added the Blue Trinket Scryer orb, you said it was doing the same that CV did, you then removed CV and removed the blue trinket. So, were did we go?; Farsight Alteration only works after level 9 and to be clear, it is a ward, it is not CV at all, it lasts a pair of seconds, has a long cooldown and it is most likely to be on CD when you need it to do the things CV does; grant sight for ult, track, scout, instead of just warding a bush.
So yeah I want to see Clairvoyance return, I want to main Xerath again and I want my playstyle back to me.
