* Silences, stuns, "suppression", etc. blocking ''Summoner spells''. Based on the [[Excuse Plot]]/[[Metagame]], shouldn't the Summoner -- the player -- be able to use his/her own powers regardless of a particular Champion's status? Or, if the Summoner is somehow "silenced" by Silence, shouldn't the Champion be effectively stunned by that effect as well, since the Summoner wouldn't be able to communicate? Come to think of it, the "global" spells (Clairvoyance, Fortify) shouldn't depend on the Champion being alive, but they do (the obvious exception being Revive). Obviously, the answer is [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]], justified with [[Competitive Balance]]. But...[ |
