Can we change all keystones to be more utility based?

Free stats, especially damage, is not only unintuitive but doesn't bring anything to the game other than further pushing damage creep through the roof.

Why can't we just tailor keystones to certain play styles and make people able to choose which one suits them the best rather than just picking the one that adds the most damage to your champion.

So more keystones like Stormraiders, CoTC, and windspeakers?

Yes please.

I wouldn't mind it too much. Though making that work in the Ferocity tree might take some fiddling given that the tree focuses totally on sustained damage and in-combat sustain. I'm not sure if three different flavors of healing off damage would be a very good idea.

The ferocity tree should augment that sustained damage champion's play styles. Like, old furor boots or something. It should add/enhance a play style or allow for some other benefits.

Well, worth considering I suppose.

One keystone that grants In-Combat regeneration of some kind, possibly with a reduced effectiveness against minions.

Maybe a stacking movespeed buff each time you basic attack an enemy champion? Could be workable, but I guarantee that Ezreal would manage to get it nerfed.

Perhaps an ability that gives you vision (not true sight) on damaged targets? That would help a ton with sustained damage patterns without actually adding any damage. Burst damage patterns don't mind so much when someone tries juking away since you do your burst and then it's over. But sustained damage really wants to keep that sight going.

Stormraiders is the super uninteractive mastery - you press all buttons, then run back before the enemy can return the dmg. The game was way better before all the keystone nonsense.
