Does exhaust really need to keep it's resists reduction?

This summoner spell already makes any champion nearly worthless for 2.5s

It would still be taken for it's intended purposes, which is mainly countering burst or AA reliant champions and making them very vulnerable for 2.5s, there is no reason it needs to make them squishier as well

In the current meta

summoner 3 is what keeps assassins and diving fighters from being literally impossible to shutdown.

Except the Damage reduction, AS and MS reduction already accomplish that There is no need for it to reduce resists aswell It would still fulfill its purpose without that

You know how much it shreds? 10 armor and mr What class is affected most by flat reduction? Not bruisers like them

Exhaust also does nothing to Darius' True damage or Illaoi's tentacles since Exhaust doesn't reduce their damage Not sure what your point was

I swear the number of people who keep asking for support nerfs is getting out of hand over the years...

It's not that he's directly asking for support nerfs. I don't get how this would nerf supports anyway as removing the resists reduction only affects how much damage carries would do.

It's more about exh being a really strong summoner. Do I want exh to be nerfed? Meh, if one was coming I'd welcome it, but I'm not asking for one.

Yes, it does.

I would appreciate it if you at least gave your reasoning as to why you disagree

Pill SlingerNov 16, 20163 votes

You asked a yes or no question.

Exhaust is fantastic - if your going to nerf something, look @ flash.

Ignite is already a way better summoner unless you need to shut down a specific melee diver target. Can't nerf much on exhaust unless you want to make it go away completely. Resist reduction punishes divers who get caught by it by making them directly more vulnerable as well.

item 3812 item 3814 item 3026 item 3156 item 3139 item 3046 item 3072 Right because squishies are still so flimsy these days.

I agree, the 10 armour and MR reduction are overkill. It's plenty strong that it doesn't need them.

Athenes LuluNov 16, 20161 votes

If they really do go away, I wonder how much more people will misuse it to set up kills only to realize they have wasted one of the greatest summoner spells ever?

Actually, no, using it to set up kills in the first place is overkill and a waste of spell imo.

Don't nerf exhaust; buff the other summoner spells.

Pretty sure ignite is the only summoner spell to remain untouched(in terms of buffs/nerfs) over like the last 2 or 3 seasons. Oh, and flash too I guess (why isn't this spell baseline already)

Yeah I love trying to kill the enemy team's ADC as an Assassin and once I finally manage to get passed all of the peel they get from their team and their support's infinite amount of cockblock abilities + items I get exhausted and then all of that was for nothing and I die because 2.5 seconds was enough for the ADC to assassinate me with their outplay targeted burst.

Exhaust has basically shut down an entire class of champions from competitive for multiple seasons just by itself. Season 3 was the last time Assassins were actually being played regularly in competitive and in regular play, but with the rise of exhaust it was basically trolling for your team if you picked an Assassin and now with the nerfs across the board for most Assassins they are even worse at killing carries.
