Why does Mikael's Crucible active still has a ridiculous 180 sec cooldown?

...when item 3140 item 3139 item 3157 has only 90 seconds.

Can we at least reduce its cooldown to about 120 sec so that it can be built more by Supports?

And yes, there will be a chance of having its heal to be reduced due to the lowered cooldown.

It's not supposed to be disposable. It's meant to have an implication; popping it off for an odd heal is not great.

It has 3 minutes' cooldown because it's pretty front-loaded with utility on just about anybody who can buy it. It also has the heal and that makes it pretty different from the others.

Bearing in mind that the others are more expensive (or partial builds), and also applicable to a different category of champs with very low overlapping, brings the cooldown into view as fairly reasonable.

I'd argue that it has that 180 sec cooldown because those items have lower cooldowns.

Though honestly it should be the other way around.

120 isn't too bad though, that'd be nice.

Let it remove Suppress/Ignite.

Let it remove Suppress/Ignite.

Riot has literally said they would sooner make Suppression completely uncleansible than to allow normal cleansing effects to stop it (and then balance it from there)

Not sure why it doesn't remove ignite though (or at the very least remove the reduced healing portion of it)

OT: Could probably do with a lower cooldown, maybe 120 seconds? 90 is probably a bit too low because of the added utility of being able to use it on anyone (though one could argue the inability to use it on YOURSELF is an issue it has)

Then give it reduced cooldown.

can't use it on yourself? is this a new thing? I haven't played it in a while but I remember being able to heal myself with it.

It also heals.

You have to take into consideration the champions who would buy that item like Soraka or Janna who already have a lot of utility to work with.

I agree, but the item is still strong without the actice
