A buff to banshe's veil

The shield only goes down if a certain ability deals more than X damage or if it CC's for more than 1.5s (hard CC only). Tired of losing banshe because of a Corki missile.... or a ezreal Q

But that's kind of the counterplay.

The enemy has to pop your shield preemptively in order to land any decisive strike.

Both of you should be able to play around/with the item, just like someone reducing DMA stacks with a slow or something.

...no? Like, that's working as intended. Kinda like how you're supposed to proc Yasuo's shield with an aa, you're supposed to deal with the veil with a derby ability, and that's just counterplay.

40s of CD for being able to proc the shield with a ability with a huge range seems pretty stupid. Makes the item nearly senseless.

...again, I'm gonna go with "no". Its other stats aside, counter playing Veil means an ability you used to have is no longer had. Is Ezreal's Q going to be down 40 seconds? No, of course not, that'd be dumb. But it does mean you can't get caught with a hook. You can't get caught with any pull really. Or any surprise stun. The item is far from worthless

The shield is generally there to help against being jumped by burst champions. Is Leblanc or Veigar ruining your day? Well how about you remove a quarter of their burst damage on top of having more hp and mr?

It isn't really meant to counter poke and being immune to poke is more than a little insane, imagine Evelyn crying because her Q isn't strong enough to pop the bubble. Even in these circumstances it has pretty much the best combination of HP/MR in the game so it is far from useless.
