right. you brought up good points about crowd control. if silence was really meant to be a crowd control ability, then the stun could've been affected by duration too. unfortunately, it wasn't, and it isn't. recastability or toggle would be a nice buff, but would you really go for another 3-3-3-3? i'm not saying it should be spammed because it's situational, though that's usually where fast casting speed goes. i would still rather rework the ability to have a persisting effect in its entire duration, as silence's intended function, rather than just using it for the initial effect only. silence is meant for the long silence, not the short stun. the duration effect should be able to perform well in both stealth and alert states, instead of just one.

and BlademanZX, you got me thinking that while sound quake and sonic boom are both already crowd control abilities... it's weird that she still underperforms in the survivability department. being immobile really does take a drag on her. maybe that's the problem, i don't know. adding a third crowd control ability by having a reworked silence, i don't know why it sounds redundant now. and because i thought about ember's accelerant just now, it's even weirder. okay op, you can have your recastable silence because banshee apparently needs a spammable, radial "oh-shit" button.

...does she?
