If Riot nerfs Zhonyas, assassins will spoil mid lane even more. No pls.

I personally think longer stasis, this means your team is supposed to be longer without an important of the team except if you're morgana..

That would also make it a slightly more niche item, which might be a good thing.

people use zhonyas to dodge a particular skill most of the time. the duration is already too long to avoid someone dropping a perfectly timed ability that cant miss under your ass when you get out. making it longer would be a huge nerf for that application of the item

Champions like fid/morg/heim/lizz already have the perfect time window to do their damage while invulnerable. making it longer would probably nerf those combos and allow them to be caught easier as well

some CD reset dependant champs (akali/kat) would actually benefit from a longer duration as they primarily use it when they realize they wont be able to reset. in this case a longer duration would give them an even better time window to wait for CD's to come up

Longer Statis = More time to get your cooldowns back

Of course shorter is weaker

Or more time for your teammates to get there, or more time to wait for an AoE ability to end (like Fiddles Ult. Yours or theirs).

Shorter would make it more for dodging an ability (like Global Ult or other skillshot).

In the end, it depends on the situation. Though I think more often longer is better.

Longer = Nerf because it can give time to the enemy team to surround you (unless you are morgana) and set up their skills to shutdown you.

Shorter is a nerf as well but that will depend on who you are playing, as for le blanc kata fizz or anyone with blinks and escapes with low cd it could be a buff, given the shorter time stationary is enough to prevent the enemy team to zone you.

Why the heck would you want to nerf the one item that provides the best defense for APs against these broken cancer AD pen builds?!?

Make it so Zhonya doesn't allow someone to continue their ult. That would be the best nerf.
