New Banshees Thoughts

New Banshees is great for those backline poke mages but its kinda problematic on those ap assassins, shouldn't they be playing around cc and not ignoring it completely? its equally as annoying on those poke mages as well, hard to get to them through the front line but also hard to combo with one of your spells needing to be wasted in order to proc the spellshield off. i seem to notice the cd on this item is quite low and the the spellshield refreshes quicker than expected, perhaps increasing it a bit to keep those pesky ap assassins/poke mages from being harder to stop/reach.

Assassins are meant to have risks. They are high reward champs for having the ability to attack a squishy, with the ability to get out safely. This only encourages their unique and goal-oriented gameplay.

Yeah I do agree that ap assassins with banshees is a bit too powerful. I get very stressed when I see a kat or Leblanc building this item.

Banshee's isn't any more problematic for AP assassins as Edge of Night is for AD assassins. If it is over-performing, it can be nerfed accordingly.

Banshee's Veil can be easily popped off with something as simple as Luden's. Also it takes 40 seconds for it to recharge without taking damage from any enemy champions. So don't expect to have it come up in middle of a fight. You can poke it down fairly easily before engaging.

Banshee's had the exact same effect before, now it just has different stats.
