Thunderlord's is stupid now

I hate to say it, but Thunderlord's really needs to be nerfed now. The fact that it's becoming normal for there to be 3-4 people to have Thunderlord's on a team is pretty ridiculous. The other materies are alarmingly irrelevant compared to thunderlord's

Thunderlord's isn't the problem. Keystones are the problem. Last patch it was Deathfire Touch now it's thunderlord's, next patch? Who knows. When you offer "choices" there arent any real choices for the majority of champions, because one will always be better.

A main problem is likely that of the keystones Thunderlord's is the only burst increaser that most champions can use. Deathfire is shit if you aren't a champion with strong DoT or easy repeat application to a large chunk of champions (Brand, Anivia) and the other 2 Ferocity tree masteries are useless if you aren't either a adc or an extremely autoattack reliant fighter (Jax,Kayle). Thunderlord's is currently the only mastery that most champions can use to increase their damage which means it gets taken a lot more then the others.

so you want to make Thunderlord be just as irrelevant as the others? all other keystones are too weak right now. Nerfing Thunderlord isn't going to solve anything but make you choose between irrelevant keystone #1 or irrelevant keystone #2

That other masteries are shit doesn't make Thunderlord nerf worthy.

The rest are getting buffed noticeably so coming patch. You'll either have to wait it out or just deal with people taking it for the time being.

It is used by everyone. That is the problem ! I see it on adcs i see it on assasins, i see it on mages, supports, tanks, fighters, literrally everyone is using it, and it's workign on everyone that's the issue. They need to identify the intended usability of the mastery. IMO if it's in the ferocity tree and the way it seems to be working is for combo champions. Problem is that is a VERY broad spectrum. They should just lock it down strictly for combo AP mages & assasins, like vel'koz, veigar, leblanc , kassadin, etc. so make it so it only procs on spells and auto attacks can only finish the combo off , (like a leblanc q,w, auto ) and not make a full combo of 3 auto atacks , because right now adcs are abusing that. ALsoo remove ad scalings and make so it only procs on magic dmg.
