Clarity in Summoner's Rift

Simple Guru··2 votes·1,575 views

Maybe its just me, but I play Shaco and without clarity in Summoner's Rift I have found that what has happened is that the removal of this spell has ruined my AP build completely.

Shacos spells are mana hungry at all levels. I should be able to throw more than 3 knives set 1 trap and teleport one time with the mana I have from the base.

I need clarity added back, and I am asking, please bring it back? Because, I can't play AP Shaco efficiently without clarity on Summoner's Rift. It is great for supports. anyone that is JGing can pass through the middle of the map and pop clarity to buff their middle lanes mana, giving them an edge. Then of course you can go top from there for a nice beginning of the game gank.

But, as you and I both know, I can no longer do this. Which is sad. Removing clarity has forced me into buying boots so I can teleport home to replenish my mana and run back to my location. Which is a LOT of wasted time...

It may not seem like much to you, but I ran with clarity everytime because it is so amazing. The potential of clarity and someone who knows how to use it efficiently is very valuable to a games outcome.

Again, please add clarity back to the game. I won't begin to express how frustrated I am because league literally screwed my build. Just a simple request.

Thanks, to anyone reading this. And thanks to anyone supporting the resurrection of clarity on Summoner's Rift. I honestly don't see why they removed it in the first place.

Well, I guess I'll go play some ARAM since Summoner's Rift has been ruined for me... Peace y'all and have a good one. Feel free to leave a post and what not. I just needed to express how I felt about the current situation of this.

That's really the whole thing that aggravates me so, because it is still on ARAM but not on Summoner's Rift.

Lots of champs that can lane for a respectable amount of time on SR do still eventually run out of mana, and need to B. They can't do that on ARAM. So Clarity.

I run out of mana with shaco even with clarity xD. it just takes a little longer, thats all. and mana potions are expensive....

I think the goal here, along with the removal of Mana pots, is to be able to identify the champions who couldn't fight effectively without heavy mana support, and then increase their mana pools / regen to compensate.

Or at least that was how I interpreted things.

Perhaps. But there are always going to be unusual builds like AP Shaco that have unusual mana requirements. Changing their mana pools to support that playstyle could very easily over buff their common builds and lead to balancing issues. And more likely than not, Riot isn't going to make changes for AP Shaco.

Clarity really granted flexibility while not affecting balance.

I agree here, buffing his mana pool could cause an imbalance. Clarity provided the nest egg. However, like 20 extra mana with clarity not being usable in Summoner's rift could possibly be do-able.... It still wouldn't be right though. The recent patch made it so hallucinate properly displays color buffs, and made it so only the one playing Shaco can see the clones health. Which is really a nice buff. As of right now though, there is an imbalance with Shaco without clarity. Its like he took an arrow to the knee.

Shaco did not get a mana pool buff everyone else did though. Well, not EVERYone, but a nice handful of champs did.

This change has ruined sona because now her auras will be pretty much off most of the game if she cant cast her auras wont work, and she only has 2 dmg spells, 1 of those is a mana heavy healing spell that needs to be reworked because it will use same amount of mana if your full hp and your teammate isnt as if your both dmged and need hp like sona is basicially a weaker version of nami now that has a shorter range ult and weaker heal.
