What happened to the new Conqueror Keystone?

Hi all!

I would like to share some thoughts on my view of Top lane fighters and the Current Meta.

So what we all experienced since the last 3 Seasons is, that almost every new champ that enters the Rift has a kit that includes at least one cc, crowd control and several gab closers or escape tools while having a good amount of burst damage as well (like Orrn, Zoe, Xaya, Rakan, Camille, Kayn, Aurelion Sol, Bard, Tham Kench, Ivern etc...) .

Also with the shift of the Meta in S8 (even more then before) away from long Fights with including Auto Attacks to very short trades where Chapions simply blow their burst without auto Attacks...

Oldschool Auto attack Fighters like Tryndamere Yi or Jax are having a tough time especially on Top lane and experience serious problems in any team fight in late game.

So whenever the game passes the 30 min mark and the enemy team manages to group as a team they will always cc them down and kill them before they are able to even have some serious Impact in a fight. Simply because they lack of burst.

What I mean is that after you engage in a tf with Jax Q or Yi Q or Tryndamere E, it simply takes to long for those Champions to apply their damage to kill for example the adc (even if they are seriously fed) because they will be at a maximum able to do 3 hits before getting ccd or kited to death after using their gap closer.

Of Course you could always argue: Yes this is why you approach your enemy as a good yi without using your Q so that you are able to doge.... yes... and how retarded must a Team of 5 people that are grouped be to let a glass cannon Yi approach their ADC without even applying one stun to him (forcing him to doge this stun to approach enemy adc) ?!?! By the way Jax Q and Tryndamere E unlike Yi’s Q can always be stunned or affected by any knock up or stun ....

So the new Key Stone Mastery would in fact have been a good thing to help those champs gaining some bursts in tf (when stacked before) and help their current problems at all.

And no The rune was not Broken, because the Champions benefitting the most of them are currently way to weak!!!!!

Have a good week fellow summenors!

It's not supposed to be released until 8.6. Pretty sure they said that when they first put it on PBE, too.

Hope you are right, because everyone told me that it should be realised in 8.5.

It was on PBE during 8.5 cycle, but it just got reverted last second for patch to go live, and was put back on the next PBE cycle. It's very usual to have this sort of thing. Riot wants more testing before putting the keystone to live servers.

The rune is garbage and will be unusable on most champions. Good luck staying for 4 seconds in a teamfight without blowing all your important CDs that would benefit from the true damage anyway ...
