I don't think spell shields are good for the game, or fun to play with or against

Spellshields are fun in some situations, like Sivirs, which is on a moderate cd and only lasts like 2 secs, or if the Item that gives it gives little other stats besides that.

They are fine when they aren't low cooldown and long duration on an item with great stats that anyone can buy.

Sivir's spellshield gives her mana, which her other mana costs are balanced around. Morgana's only stops hard cc, and only while the Magic Damage shield is up. Nocturne's is similar to Sivir's in duration, so requires quick reactions. The ones that exists in champ kits currently are balanced. Edge of Night is unbalanced.

If you dont enjoy assassins with spell shield now then you probably never will even if the cd is increased Most assassin kits have their full combo gated by their ult's cooldown which is significantly higher than what EON's will ever be , so when they come to kill you , they are gonna have that shield up , you can bet on it

I don't mind the concept of the item. It just is absurdly overtuned. It's up way too often, and grants too long of a duration. There's basically no reason not to use it when doing even basic things like walking to ward or waveclearing (if you have an ability that can clear effectively).
