Thunderlord's Decree. Grasp of the Undying. When do we get other viable options?

Don't get me wrong, some of these other keystones have their uses and they're not like, horribly broken or anything.

The decisions between which masteries to take is a lot more streamlined and a lot more interesting based on what we had in the past (where most of them were just pure stats we needed).

But out of the games I've spectated, nearly all of them have the (eventual) winning team fielding three champions with thunderlord's decree and two champions with grasp of the undying; or 4 champions with thunderlord's decree and 1 with grasp of the undying.

It's not even close. I'm having a seriously hard time finding a game where someone fielded something else and won. I would like to believe that it's not that outrageous, but I'm just not seeing it.

I don't think this is what you had in mind when you made the new masteries.

And it's not hard to see why they're popular. Do you intend to use 3 autoattacks in a fight? 3 spells? 4 autoattacks? Congratulations, there's a keystone mastery that you know for a fact is going to be useful in the game.

But even taking into account that the two are going to be popular, that doesn't explain why they're so effective. Any ideas?

All ferocity keystones are valid, its just the cunning tree precision is better than ferocity tree, so everyone goes cunning. Since all the keystones in Cunning suck except Thunderlord, everyone goes Thunderlord.

I win all the time using many other masteries as there are some great ones out there. People just use Thunderlords at the moment cause they think it's OP.. ooo [zombie-brand-mindblown] but I've beaten many people that use it while using things like Bond of Stone, Windspeakers blessing, Fervor of battle.

As soon as they release the next patch, they've had the other keystones within like 4 days of making thunderlords the only real viable option. So when ever they release 5.25 or 6.1 i dont remember which is coming tbh, but that sir is when.

Thanks. I had read about those changes so long ago that I thought they were already live for some reason.
