Riot - PLEASE don't punish players for building defense items with your new keystone.
Before I begin, I'd like to acknowledge that I'm aware this is an experimental new keystone, and although this is true, Riots design philosophy revolving around it remains the same - more damage and punishing players who are trying to counter the high damage with defense items.

- Triggers the same way Grasp of the Undying does (first auto attack on an enemy champion after being in combat for 4s).
- When triggered gives AD and cause some of your physical/magic damage to be dealt as true damage instead.
I'd like to first ask why tanks are being targeted with this new keystone, and to an extent - bruisers. Why do damage dealers need more tools for cutting through defensive items? With the abundance of damage, lethality, and penetration funneled into items already, it boggles the mind why we need an additional means of mitigating counterplay with a 0 cost keystone. Why are we not seeing a similar structure for people who build damage?>
**Example - ** After 4 seconds in combat, your first attack against an enemy champion reduces their damage by 12% for 6 seconds.
The new Bone Plating rune is similar to this, but it's obviously not to the same standard as a keystone; and why would Bone Plating need a keystone like this? It would reduce the cost efficiency of your damage items LARGELY, just as the new Conqueror rune will diminish your tank items in the same way.
Riot, if you give damage dealers large amounts of penetration/true damage without tanks receiving the same treatment of mitigating THEIR damage, you've created a double standard for your damage meta.
buff tbh
passive right? just think of it like that but with only 1 person benefiting from it and it being ad
