Here's a thought: What if Barrier and Clarity were merged?

darkdill··1 votes·279 views

Clarity is only ever used in ARAM, while Barrier tends to only get used by mid-laners in Classic mode. A thought crossed my mind: What if Barrier and Clarity were merged together, but altered a bit?

EXAMPLE!

Barrier Shield yourself for 2 seconds, absorbing up to X damage, and restore Y% of your maximum mana.

Would this be too powerful? Introduce usage confusion? Or could it be a novel way to make Clarity something useful?

Not clarity... maybe cleanse?

Shields for X and removes all de-buffs. summoner 1 summoner 21

Cleanse is less used... Clarity is nice for an agressive mana hungry botlane..

Cleanse might be a better way to go about this. It would be the more selfish version of heal.

Perhaps.. and then meanwhile

{{summoner:2}} : No one loves me... No longer needed due to..item 3363

Perhaps a way to put clairvoiance and clarity together? Mana and Sight..

I'm all for finding a way to make clairvoyance usable again too. Though I don't think merging that with clarity will work. It would be anmoying if you just need mana that moment, and your mouse cursor wasn't somewhere where you get any benefit from the clairvoyance aspect, and vice versa if you just need vision.

good point... wait

does {{summoner:2}} have a range in which it can be used?

What if it had unlimited range and lasted for like 8 seconds then it would be a great tool for champions with long range ults for dragon stealing.

Because I know item 3363 has a set range... but its a cheap 250 item... and it places a ward

Maybe it could be that taking Clairvoyance gives you a passive mana regen bonus.

You know, that's probably a better idea.

I think it would become the go to pick for anyone that can viably run with heal or barrier right now, and in some cases just be the better option for anyone who would normally just use something like ignite. A good example would be urgot. This would give him a very strong all in potential with his ult. He would win the trade with barrier and his shield, while solving his mana issue.

This is a neat idea, but I think it would need an absurdly long CD? I don't know.

It would need an appropriate cooldown, probably as long as Teleport or Flash.
