What is the right champion to use Clairvoyance?

I am a support main. I used to go Heal/Clarity with Sona and poke a lot. Now I got runes and know better to save mana so I replaced that with Flash but I think Clairvoyance is a really useful that can be good to look at baron or dragon or anywhere else in jungle areas. It can also be good to see if a missing enemy missing for a long time is afk or not by looking at enemy base. I'm thinking of using that spell. I use Soraka a lot and since most of the time my adc takes heal instead of barrier an I take heal too, it might not work as well. So should I replace heal with clairvoyance for Soraka? Or is there any other supports out there which Clairvoyance can be a good spell to use on?

Clairvoyance is just a terrible SS. I wouldn't recommend using it on any champions.

Honestly {{summoner:2}} is just outclassed by so many other summoners. Supports can't take it because then they lose the utility from summoner 3 , top laners can't take it because then they have zero map pressure without summoner 12 , junglers can't take it because summoner 11 , mid laners can't take it because they either need the safety provided by summoner 7 or summoner 21 , or they need the kill pressure from summoner 14 , and finally ADCs can't take it because then they don't have the safety net from . And the final and most important reason, item 3342 is literally a better version on a shorter cooldown.

Xerath is/can be good with {{summoner:2}}, if you survive the friendly bombardment.

just grab your free blue trinket and use that instead.

I run Clairvoyance on Karthus sometimes. It's funny as all get out to grab vision of the enemy jungler about to die after taking a buff and knowing you got your kill.

CV is mostly used for tracking the enemy jungler. It's really good for babysit supports (That is, supports who sit back and let your adc farm safely, not really doing anything too active). So Raka is a great pick for this. It'll let you see what side of the map the enemy jungler starts on, and then every 60s you can check the buff you think the jungler is at. Extremely useful for giving your entire team vital information. Probably good on champs like Alistar Taric Janna where you have some downtime in between your regular ability cooldowns.

That said, if you know the game a little better and use wards properly, you can get the exact same information while taking a stronger (for fighting) summoner like summoner 3 summoner 14 summoner 7 . I haven't seen CV in ranked play since S2 because of this. But hey, if you can make it work, all the more power to you!

in my opinion, clairvoyance isn't very useful as a summoner spell anymore because every player runs some kind of combat summoner's spell now (or smite if you're the jungler). Clairvoyance used to be a meta summoner spell back in season 1 but over the years, players have gotten better about warding. Besides, if you really wanted to use clairvoyance, you could substitute it with the blue trinket which does essentially does the same thing.

You should replace heal with exhaust. Exhaust is a very good summoner spell to help protect your ADC and is extremely important against assassins/high burst mages to reduce their dmg. Taking clairvoyance will not save you in a life or death situation where the enemy is charging at you or your allies.
