Increased Casting Speed

[quote=Jebus McAzn]Would it be overpowered/underpowered to have an item that increases casting speeds in the League? By casting speed I mean everything from channel time to delay between spells to the projectile speed of the spell itself. It would work on spells only, i.e. ones that do not apply on-hit effects like Mystic Shot. The stats wouldn't be huge. I'm thinking 20%, maybe 30% at most. But it could be very helpful for champions like Orianna, Fiddlesticks, etc.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Interesting thought. Although I'd say -most- of the bi channeled skills want to keep channeling. Nunu ult for example is as much for the slow as it is for the end damage. Although with the existence of such an item, we could possibly see the return of AP Nunu, and those atom bomb ults :P[/quote]

[quote=Temzilla]IDK, Fiddle sounds prettttty op with it. He already has the highest damage potential in the entire game. If you condense that into 20% less time, then you have a pretty scary d00d. But people like Morgana, Orianna, Brand, and other skill shot related people would be pretty good with it.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]Think about AP-[[Master Yi]] [[Meditate]] xD. Works best on channel Ults like [[Fiddlesticks]], [[Katarina]] or [[Nunu]][/quote]

[quote=theBMB]I'd have to see the effect before I could judge if it was beneficial or not. having a faster projectile might not actually be useful since a lot of players would be used to predicting their skillshot based on a single speed.[/quote]

[quote=gwadzila]Too good. 20% channel reduction cuts half a second off Kat and Nunu ultimates, which would be scary as fuck. Especially with channels that do damage during the channel? Dear God. Death Lotus would be so scary with that item. And let's not forget that this would speed up Destiny, Mandrop, Karthus ult, and Stand united (not like anyone plays Shen >.>) 20% increased projectile speeds means that dodging skillshots will end up being more luck than anything else. Sure it would be balanced for people like Morgana and Brand, but what about Lux? What about Kog Maw? What about Leona? Gragas? URGOT? No.[/quote]

Some champions have delicately balanced abilities based on channel time. Even Lux's ult has just enough channel time to dodge if you're quick. This item would be a bit too strong on certain champions, and completely useless on others.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]The idea of Haste is interesting, but it would be hard to balance. Considering interrupting an enemy who has a channel usually is a good thing. Narrowing that window would be an imbalance.[/quote]
