Current thoughts

With the new patch comes a lot of changes, Keystones replacing Mastery Pages and the removal of Rune Pages are the big key factors for me. While I do find the new change to be quite interesting and have done some testing in some random both successful and unsuccessful, I find that there are now just some champions that you just feel forced to play now cause with the current changes as they are, they are so powerful there is no reason not to. I mean, who wouldn't want to play a support that does as much/more damage then your enemy lane with more sustain.

With that aside, I've found that Junglers are having quite the field day, super quick and easy clears, level 4 around 3:15 depending on your champion. The average Kayn at levels 4-5 with enough gold could come back into jungle or gank a lane with a flat 100 AD that early in the game with proper keystones, then knocking off a extra 10 of your armor in the process bursting you even harder. Yeah.. we don't got armor, the Keystones doesn't really provide actual good survivability in terms of actual defensive stats, just abilities. You either suffer for 10 minutes then get bonus defensive stats or only start with either armor or magic resist at only +5 bonus.

I snowballed a game as Kayn playing him for like the 3rd or 4th time ever, like 2nd time this patch I believe, clearing jungle and getting level 4 around 3:22 and snowballing with ganks from there cause between the penetration from Keystones, Eyeballs, Movespeed Adapative Bonus to AD stacking with Bounty Hunter Adapative Bonus to AD combined with AD (Time Based Game) etc.. you get the idea, around 30 mins I had around 400 ad with 3 items.

Great patch.
