One issue with that it it's not, as far as I recall, a 'regular' -50% damage, but a halving after all other modifiers. So it works differently and would have to be displayed in a way that shows this.

Then,
solution 1: make it -50% all damage instead, which will make it more appealing at late game.
solution 2: let it do not affect minions, then this confusion does not exist anymore.

There's also solution 3, display it differently. Below all the % damage modifiers, put a '/2' or something.

I do think your proposals are ok though, 1 especially. 2 would avoid confusion but WOULD be a significant boost to Summoners who are already quite a strong class I think, no?

Change it to a regular -50% then?
My feedback meter decays into coding. Give me feedback and I make mods.

Along the same idea, what do you guys think about changing the screen color while mediating. My biggest issue when meditating is that I forget its on. If the screen looked a bit different it would help-- maybe slightly distorted at the edges?
