Exactly what the title says, you channel it and it disappears, thats it, no more summoning the big monster. Thoughts on that ?

Seems fair to me. Have to be smart about when/where you summon it.

Well, if there was no way to interupt it, then that would be rediculously strong as she charges a tower and takes half it's HP. I'm ok with there being a way to interupt the channel.

No no no, I understand Intrupting the channel, but intruptting the channel removes the buff all together ? Thats pretty dumb

I have mixed feelings about that. On the one hand, preventing it from being cast in combat seems like a good thing - fighting and killing enemy only to have them summon her as they die, and have her taking 3 towers because you now don't have HP to fight her off seems dumb.

On the other hand, completely removing the buff is nonsense too. It is not something you get for free, it is a reward for a major objective. It shouldn't be denied by say a Nami wave or Syndra stun casted from fog of war.

why not have the summon be a dark ritual that if it ends up being cancelled you get a weaker version based on how long you channeled?

Don't be near the enemy laner when you summon it, I guess.

Let the jungler take it for a 4 man dive bot with that tanking.

BONUS: play mordekaiser bot and get a dragon with you too. Win in one push.
