Current State of Exhaust
: Exhaust is a targeted Summoner spell that affects enemy champions. It reduces their movement speed and attack speed by 30%, their armor and magic resistance by 10, and their damage dealt by 40% for 2.5 seconds.
**What it is meant to do: ** Exhaust is a summoner that is supposed to help you and your team catch someone or run away from someone by reducing there move speed and there attack speed.
What it currently does: It shuts down a lot of champions, most notably the assassins and makes it very hard to kill an ADC when items like these already exists:
,
,
,
,
among others. The 40% reduce damage can make it so that a Zed can land a clean combo onto an ADC and the ADC will still live because of exhaust. In fact, exhaust is so good that mid laners and sometimes junglers take it because of how overloaded exhaust is. This summoner in the late game lets some champions easily 1 v 1 other champions. Champions like
,
,
,
,
, e.t.c can be made useless for 2.5 seconds.
What can be done: Make exhaust reduce more attack speed and move speed to make it an summoner that helps you run away or catch up with people instead of the summoner that makes sure you survive literally anything thrown at you. Exhaust is overloaded and the % damage should be removed. Now I know your thinking "how will we survive Zed initiation e.t.c", something along those lines. I don't know. But a summoner spell countering a whole champion is just unfair. Maybe they can buff barrier or something.
If you don't think that exhaust is op, please explain to me why you think so.
