Banshee Passive is going to need buffed.

Late game a 40 second cooldown and it resets every time you take damage. That's actually really shit. When edge comes off cooldown it can be used at any time said person desires with no reset if they take damage. Late game it's going to be impossible to not take damage for 40 seconds.. This needs to at least be 40 scaling down to like 25 its far different from edge because it's not controlled its a passive and its cooldown resets on taking damage. Something needs to be fixed... either it adds duration to cooldown but doesnt reset it from taking damage or, it needs to have its cooldown lowered at higher levels. Because the 40-8 was removed on pbe which 8 was a bit too low, but like 20 seconds is much more reasonable. Or you know, remove the, not taking damage part. So that it is up every 40 seconds after it is popped.

LOL yea, you do realize thats what im refering to. On pbe right now the new banshee is a 40 second cooldown at all levels that resets on taking damage. Which is awful.

its pbe. i doubt those itemchanges will even come out this patch, more likely they will put it into the midseason update (7.9 i think?). if its acutally too weak they will see noone buying it. so calm down and wait for pbe updates.

I mean? I am calm rotfl? I'm just stating an observation and looking for what other people think about it. I don't get why you had to include that in your post to attempt some sort of arguement or fight? Lol. THe boards is designed for discussion.

thing is no one wants to buy an abssyal right now anyway, you just kind of need it to not get 1 shot by leblanc or fizz. Most people just sit on the negatron most of the game then as one of their last items upgrade it to an abyssal pretty sure most people are going to do the same thing with again even if the spellshield is pretty crap. If so There's not going to be much notice other than through perhaps winrates that the item is inferior.

Yeah, right now that item is looking terrible.

Having a lower cooldown sounds great for protecting high value targets like mages, that way it actually protects more reliably and consistently against cc in the late game. I was pretty happy with what they did to the item until they trashed it. The older item wasn't truly useful on tanks anyway (other then mr), they eat cc for breakfast.

Was it being abused in any way?

Anyway, you'll want a pretty lowish cooldown on that thing, lower then 20 seconds probably, anywhere between 8 and 16 I think , depends how you look at it. Is it supposed to offer counterplay? As in, I used cc on the mage but the spellshield eat it, the cooldown on my ability is lower then the cooldown of the item so when my ability is up next I'll have a window of opportunity to get him. Or should the item provide very good protection against that stuff by having a lower cooldown then most cc abilities? Probably best to go with the former, still needs a way lower cooldown though.
