Warlord's Bloodlust not activating!

TheMightyRampage·Nov 20, 2015·1 votes·699 views

Playing Tryndamere today in a nomals I had the Warlord's Bloodlust Keystone selected, but when I got into game, it wasn't activating on crits. I went into several custom games to try and figure out what the issue was, but it wasn't working, nor was it a visual bug for me as I had a friend there to verify. I'd like to get some feedback on this issue asap, as I used it before and it worked perfectly fine. For crit based champions, not having Warlord's Bloodlust activate could be a very big issue. While Tryndamere can obviously go Fervor of Battle as a replacement keystone, champions like Yasuo who almost rely on it as a mastery should not be forced to waste a very valuable mastery point.

Thank you, and my in game name is MisterClockwork if there are any questions that need to be answered.

Yasuo and Trynadmere relied on it for a grand total of one week and it was oppressive enough that Riot hotfix nerfed it. It only heals you if you're attacking an enemy champion now so you can't make an unfavorable trade just to go heal on minions.

Now you have to actually make good trades in lane, not just win trades by default.

They should probably at least change the wording on the mastery then. I don't mind that idea at all, but still, I literally played a day after and was incredibly confused. I assume they're changing wording next patch. At least hopefully. Anyways, thanks for the info.

They don't change tooltips for hotfixes - just for regular patches. Hotfixes are just quick changes only to the active code. The tooltip will be updated in patch 5.23 later this week.
