Lol. Thanks for specifically addressing me. :)

In fact I don't always read all blog posts, so I might as well have missed this.

But my thoughts - It sounds like a good idea. Clarity is indeed a bad summoner spell right now, as the mid laners will buy one or two mana items, the top laners and jungler normally don't need a lot of mana (and if they do they often buy a Frozen Heart or Iceborn Gauntlet), which leaves the support and the AD carry. Supports can buy Mikael's Crucible if needed, but AD carries, also the mana hungry ones (relatively) like Graves, Miss Fortune, Tristana, etc, can't really afford to buy mana items. The only AD carry who spends a lot of mana and CAN afford a mana item is Ezreal with Iceborn Gauntlet. So, this would make this new Clarity ideal if you want to support one of those AD carries but also want some crowd control or tankyness, which right now means you either have to take Soraka and give your AD carry mana, but not being able to really kill the enemies (except if your AD carry pokes them down with abilities), or you have to not give your AD carry mana and (mostly in solo queue) hope that he can manage his mana.

You could maybe even take it on AD carries, if the enemy team has little cc and less gapclosers than you escapes.

Really like this rework, also because the numbers can be increased if it's single-target, or, as you did, the cooldown decreased.
