I want to know just who the fuck on the dev team thought this new passive was a good idea.

At least with traditional spell-shields like Sivir E/Nocturne W (and to a lesser extent, Braum E) there are elements of timing and decision involved, but Void Shift is just a free starting Banshee's Veil that blocks every source of damage/CC under the sun, has a longer defense window, and a cooldown that scales to six goddamn seconds without the need to invest ability points or CDR items.

Change the cooldown formula to 31 - (1 x level) and the damage reduction to 50% + 10% at levels 4/8/12/16. It won't cure the cancer, but it'll certainly make it more tolerable.
