They could add a new CC-type to champions like Kassadin and LeBlanc. The reason the champions were given a "silence" is to prevent enemies from using two types of skills: run-aways and crowd control. The intention was never specifically to prevent them fighting back, that's more a consequence. In my opinion, they should just add new types of crowd control that address the issues directly.


 * Kassadin's Null Sphere now Grounds the target, preventing them from casting relocation abilities for a few seconds as well as interrupting any in-progress relocation abilities. (Nether Blade would now have the "brief interrupt" to cancel channels).
 * LeBlanc's Sigil of Silence now Oppresses the target, preventing them from applying crowd control effects for a few seconds. Oppression does not prevent the target from activating crowd controlling abilities. (Needs a better name to be honest).

Or, LeBlanc's could be more interesting (given it's an ability that needs triggering)
 * "Upon detonating Sigil of Silence, the target's abilities that are currently on cooldown are frozen for the next 3 / 3.5 / 4 / 4.5 / 5 seconds." (Or increased by X seconds, depending on if you want champions like Mister Yi to still be able to use his on-hit cooldown reduction.)

This means it takes "skill" to actually silence someone, since if you just churn it out for damage you won't achieve anything. This could even be a means to counter cooldown-reseters, like Katarina and Kha'Zix - if a frozen cooldown cannot reset. As a knock-on, that facts there is now a reward for using Sigil-Sigil, rather than it simply use for its high burst, might encourage people to wait a little bit or use other options. You don't want to blow the semi-silence when they still have their ultimate active!
