Quite an awesome Keystone if you ask me (although the CDR needs to be nerfed or adjusted tho). Even its usage on Alistar is somewhat surprising yet awesome to see.

Can't wait til (if) they add the past summoner usage thing they've been talking about.

I want my Kayle with Surge.

I don't know how "old" Riot refers to, but I'm assuming the only few spells they'll bring back is just Clarity, Revive & possibly Clairvoyance. Surge is just too broken when combined with Guinsoo.

The use once only thing? Not sure how you nerf it. There are many things I've noticed while watching High Elo games via the client, this was one of them, as you can build it into an item for nearly all classes and it's free gold (pros love free gold). All these little things will show how silly certain things are once pro games start up.

Pros hate dieing, kind the reason why ADCs are sacrificing a slot on a support item and causing changes to it. It's like having 1 less damage item doesn't affect their overall build... odd that.

E-Sports board exists just there isn't a link to it anymore, a Riot said they removed it as it wasn't popular but then it was removed in off season, so it wouldn't be. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/esports

My 1st guess would be to at least delay its usage by another 30 seconds or so, who knows.

Sad part about the esports board is that the articles still appear there. But yeah most of its use ultimately came upon when either TSM or the top 4 Korean teams (mostly SKT) did something. This followed by irrational Reddit-esque garbage posts. Wasn't much use honestly.

But with a season like this, I kind of hope they bring it back.

Honestly the item being able to be used to negate a single dive is absolutely game-changing. What would have been a kill for the diving team has just become wasted time for the aggressors.

I think that's the problem with stopwatch as a whole--it goes against the whole "pro-diving" environment that Riot has created and supported for so long.
