Greenfather's Gift Mastery May Come

Primaquarius··1 votes·2,548 views

Specs: _Next form of damage inflicts 3% of a target's Current HP in bonus magic damage (9s CD). _ I think we may have found a new mastery for mage supports, and I'm so hyped for it!

What do you guys think of this mastery?

Ranged top laners already have big advantage over most melee but now there's even more reason to pick Jayce or Kennen or Ryze in the top lane.

It sucks ass.

You can solve this by not picking a melee champion into them for top lane. If you pick before them, pick champions like Brand Gnar Vladimir to force them out of their intended picks

Let's be fair, the majority of players don't know how to play Vlad at all, nor do they know how to build him. Funny how at the same time they'll say he's a no-skill champ.

Brand is not reasonably viable top lane. He's a sitting duck for junglers up there.

Brand isnt the best pick, true, but he can counter most Tanks because of both his Ability and his higher early game damage

Well that's exactly the problem?

Do you want to relegate fighter/tank players entirely into the jungle? I don't think that's healthy.

It's stupid beyond belief because of its place on the tree. Nearly everyone going halfway cunning will take it.

A lot of the new mini masteries are like that actually.

It's raw damage competing with bandit and dangerous game... both completely luxury...

But wordings actually unclear if it only works inside the brush or you gain it for simply touching brush (which would be overpowered and an overly imposed habit to abuse the mastery when brush usage should be left for actual smart play)

I'm not thrilled about the introduction of more %health damage outside of the context of bot lane, but besides that we'll have to see

With masteries set up the way they are, it is interesting to look at what the user of a specific mastery will give up to take that mastery. In the case of Greenfather's Gift, the other options are Dangerous Game, which returns HP and Mana on kill (at least for me, has saved my bacon quite a few times), or Bandit, which gives bonus gold for harassing the enemy and nearby dying minions.

can be abused top lane which to me is ok im just glad it is current hp

Meh. People cry about this, but if you proc it ever time it's off cooldown it's 0.3% of enemies current HP DPS.

Before resistances.

That would make Lulu support so much more "fun" to play against...

Not even mad. I'm taking it.

Lulu AP assassin, wait for it [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

When Lulu mid/top was popular it was already a thing.

You just click E on someone and mash Q, pop goes 2/3 of someone's HP.
