EPTLike if they changed the recipe to have a hog instead of emblem of valor, that might make it much more attractive.

I don't even think it's better than "another reverie" on a mass aura team. Buying both Reverie and Soul Shroud on someone is a massive investment into health, so if you're buying multiples to put on different people, I'm pretty sure the answer is just to buy more Reveries. 5% more CDR for self, anyways, with the ghost aura, is so much more than SS even pretends to do. | ||

in siege comps it guarantees that your AP reaches 40% cdr with blue while giving the rest of your team (esp if the ad is like ezreal or kog and has a siege skill) enough mana to keep up pressure reverie has a lot of utility as a item to beeline especially in solo queue but if your team coordinates around certain comps its far from bad. | ||

I don't think a second Reverie is that useful personally unless you're facing a kite based team or you're playing something that is reliant on gap closing (rammus and udyr come to mind). If your whole team is pushing towers a Soul Shroud is going to be very useful, and that's the whole point of a mass aura strategy as far as I'm concerned. I suppose it could allow you to punish somebody out of position much easier or just dive the tower, but I feel like it'd depend too much on the team compositions for any blanket statement to be made that A is better than B. | ||

Best case scenario is a couple of people get benefit from it, but even then it's just so weak compared to Reverie's ghost. Actually, it's more common (and more realistic) for people to be shooting for 10 under cap than for the CDR cap (so that blue pots can fill out the rest). Having Soul Shroud to fill out that last 10% actually works out just fine for sustained pushing.

How the hell is this option relevant to spending support gold in a mass-aura strategy? By the time your support is done with Reverie and considering Soul Shroud, 2-3 other auras will be done (WotA on AP, Aegis on Jungler, possibly Starks depending on the timing chosen by the carrier). You're obviously not going to buy a second Reverie on the support, and it makes more sense for the support to buy Soul Shroud than Abyssal or Stark's, because having straight HP is a more useful self-stat for the support than either of the other item options. | ||

And everybody loves CDR, so i don't see how 10% on the whole team isn't awesome. Frankly, I think the mana aspect is secondary on SS | ||

mana regen gained from soul shroud: 12 mp5 shurelya is a lot more flexible and more utilizable, especially in unorganized games (and solo queue). to say that soul shroud is a really bad item is dumb though. of course there will be team comps (siege and poke comps, champions that with the extra mana region can afford a lot more poke i.e. ashe ezreal kog and thus play a different style of play) that benefit from it. | ||

The CDR aura is very good and while MP5 probably isn't the best aura, it won't go to waste while you're crushing towers and getting further ahead. I actually forgot that the mana regen is an aura, potentially that could add a lot of value to the 375 cdr aura. | ||

Why would you dump 5k into items that are (almost) pure health defensively, exactly? I don't think it's even worth seriously considering Soul Shroud on your support because that money can be better put into hard-capping CDR or buying the mana sustain that a 'sit there and do things team' support really kinda needs. Abyssal and/or FH will almost certainly do more for your team than CDR that only matters to a subset of champions who get strong benefit from CDR (but don't build it). | ||
