So me and my buddies were discussing about the recent nerfs from champions and their silence being removed AKA Le Blanc and Talon.

Then I realized there's only 4 champions that I could think of that has silence.

Soraka Fiddlesticks Malzahar Blitzcrank Cho'gath Garen

ONLY Six silences? COME ON RITO WHAT IS GOING ON?!

Should just remove all silences at this point. It feels like a really useless skill now if thats what the meta is aiming for.

Soraka's silence is a big part of her kit I wouldn't want it removed.

I don't think a well placed Cho or Malzahar silence has ever been useless. It's powerful against everyone who relies on abilities. There should be WAY more of them.

Not way more, but the game has certainly potential for a few more silences.

As long as they are not on burst-based champions.

There's only 4 suppression abilities, and 2 blinds, and two pulls. Silence was taken away from Leblanc, Kass, and talon because they could destroy a mid champion with no counterplay beyond "Stay away from them".

Granted, this is also the entire core idea of Malzahar. Except his silence is decently hard to land.

Nautilus Blitzcrank Thresh Darius Diana (debatable) i count 3, arguably 5 pulls adding on to the list: only 3 taunts (4 if you count Teemo's secret passive)

Perhaps that's my bad. I only considered Darius and blitz to have a "pull" and Naut and Thresh with a "hook". Diana I didn't consider at all.

Teams tend not to pack a lot of AP?

Lulu's polymorph is technically a silence + disarm (with a slow)

Personally I think Silences should cancel out abilities in use like they do Channeled abilities.

An example would be hitting Garen with a silence during Judgement and forcing the ability to cancel early.

The silences were being removed from Assassins because they already burst you down fast, the silence prevents any sort of retaliation in the small window of time that you are alive. It's not that silences themselves are something that cannot exist in the game.

6 is a lot already, check out blind.

we only have two blinds and like 120+ champs. If we're talking just by the numbers these are both incredibly low ratios for these two types of CC. I'm not saying they can't be OP or abused just that they are so few they almost don't matter

Remember that Teemo and Quinn have the only two Blinds in the game.

Because silences have counter play with tenacity.. Riot doesn't like counter play so every new champion gets a knock up instead because knock ups can't be reduced by tenacity RekSai Azir Gnar Yasuo Braum Kalista ****

We are talking about SILENCE SKILL. not actual interrupts skills.
