Why?

DFT just wasn't interesting or healthy.

I was miffed when I first realized it, but when I thought about it, it makes perfect sense to remove it.

All of the keystones, in particular, have really visible effects that take some effort to proc. Obviously, most champs will pick the ones that are easy to proc for them, but DFT was just extra damage. Straight up. It was poor design, even if it sounded cool on paper and worked really well with DoT champs.

Deathfire touch = Scorch (sorcery) Windspeaker = Revitalize (resolve)

I kind of feel you, but hey, we still got 6 weeks before the actual launch and even after it does hit live they'll still modify Runes quite heavily until the start of the new season.

DFT doesn't have any effect on gameplay. It's just more damage. It's the AP equivalent to a rune that says "You get X more attack damage" and that's it. No stacking, no mechanics to think about.

The game is better without DFT because it opens up interesting keystones for AP DPS champions that give them things to actually think about and play around.

If those champions are weak without DFT the solution is really simple, just buff their damage.

But...

That's warlords...

Edit: Okay, so apparently when I opened the page, the only thing that appeared on the screen was warlords, and I was confused. Boards glitch
