Mikaels is a great example of what skill expression in a support should be
Anyone who has ever played support knows that Mikaels active is very hard to use optimally especially in teamfights where so much stuff is going on that it's hard to keep track of your own champion let alone the positions and cc standings of all 5. Mikaels offers a depth of skill expression to an enchanter support thats not really seen elswhere in their items. Mikaels also has the added benefit of being extremely rewarding to get off at the crucial moment in a teamfight when the enemy lulu polymorphed your adc and you insta-cleansed it winning you the teamfight. mikaels is rewarding fun and hard to use and i love the item personally.
I would like to see items that allow more skill expression with their actives instead of stat sticks with ardent censer.
does not grant assists (from LoL.wiki, might have been updated).
gives a whooping 40% Heal & Shield Power. umping the effects of heals and shields. [zombie-brand-facepalm]
