Bring back the Stifle summoner spell!

SulkingKING··3 votes·700 views

Lately we've had summoner spells removed, but never replaced. Revive will always live on in my heart. I think it's time we got some new ones to spice things up a bit, or even bring back old ones and see how they do in the current build of the game.

I'm suggesting we bring back the Stifle summoner spell in an altered state. The Stifle summoner spell did the following effects with a 150 second cooldown: Silenced an enemy for 3 seconds Dispelled all bonus effects, including red, blue, and baron buff.

What I propose on how this could be brought back and be balanced: Silences single target for 3 seconds Disables all bonus effects for 3 seconds. (Does not dispel effects, but instead freezes their bonus for the duration) 180 second cooldown.

I understand summoner 3 replaced Stifle originally, but it does a completely different effect. Being able to bring both these spells would make single target assassins even more spooky, as well as allow counter play to said single target assassins.

What part of 'three second point and click silence' is screaming 'counterplay' to you? Silences were removed from assassins (Talon, LeBlanc) for a reason, you know.

What of all the immense slowing effects nowadays? That's no different than simply disabling a character's abilities for the same duration.

You're telling me removing abilities temporarily is imbalanced when champions can slow you for 80%+? I don't think so. Next you'll be explaining how removing Graves' cigar was a good decision.

You're totally right. "You walk slower" is exactly the same thing as "You can't use any of your abilities for three seconds." Not only are all of those items 40% or less (40, 40, 20, 40, 30, 25, 35), all of them also last less than three seconds except Omen, which lasts for four. Slows make it harder to user your escape and CC abilities: silence makes it impossible.

Stifle also cancelled out an enormous number of ultimates: Aatrox Alistar DrMundo Fiddlesticks Illaoi Jax Karma Kayle Kennen Khazix Kindred Lucian Lulu Maokai MasterYi Nasus Quinn Rengar Renekton Riven Ryze Shen Shyvana Singed Sivir Taric Trundle Tryndamere TwistedFate Twitch Vayne Volibear MonkeyKing Yorick Zac Zilean , as well as innumerable basic abilities.
