Damage scaling masteries nerfed, armor pen nerfed..., So the champs that are unaffected by the mastery changes get some love.

These champs were already pretty strong(except heavily buffed cho'gath) and are gonna feel great this patch i think: Amumu Chogath Sejuani Rammus Nautilus Maokai

Actually, armor pen was buffed. Last Whisper now gives 45% pen instead of 30%.

And is cheap as fuck now, you can pick it up whenever you need it now, which is a huge buff to ADCs.

% armor penetration is not really effective early and is better for mid to late game. You are better off scalling your damage before getting item 3035 ADCs were bad as it is unless they built lethality early. With mastery nerfs that hit ADCs hard they would be like wet spaghetti. All they did was shift some power from early-mid to mid-late. We can only speculate how it might get abused so we'll have to wait and see.

The mastery damage going down also affects the people killing Marksmen, you know?

ADCin2017 was mostly about that. They would get insta killed. They had no time to react whatsoever. Now ( at least in theory ) you can still kill ADCs, but ADCs have a slight window to counter.

Right, but all in all it looks like there will be less armor pen spam on every ad champ since black cleaver will be an awkward build path for assassins and adcs...

Right, but now those same champs can pay 1300 for a ton of up front % pen. Personally I think tanks are in more or less the same spot.

yeh Ammumu has always been strong, as long as you don't use his bandage for the engage and you engage with your flash + ult then you use your bandage to lock an apc/adc to death during it for the extended stun, taking there damage completely out of the fight.

Sejuani is strong if you can abuse her ultimate but team dependant and Ramous is an absolute beast, get gunfire and your basically unkillable and uncatchable

Tanks that actually used those early ferocity masteries (a lot of tanks actually) are effected. It's not like those masteries only amped bonus damage.
