Can we discuss the state of Fervor of Battle?

The fact that Fervor of Battle gives AD per stack instead of on-hit physical damage has caused the keystone to be significantly more useless as a mastery option and indirectly nerfing tons of on-hit-reliant champions, such as Master Yi, Kindred, Kayle, Shyvana, Jax, etc. Its not even an attractive buy for bruisers since they prefer Grasp, Thunderlord's, Stormraider's or Courage depending on the champion. Could you please look into reverting the changes to Fervor of Battle or perhaps changing it in a way where it can be a niche keystone for on-hit champions, as there aren't really other viable options for them.

fervor of battle was broken before, its balanced now.

Problem is, many champions were balanced around fervor of battle being broken, so the moment fervor of battle got nerfed (rightfully), champions that were balanced around it got sent to the trash can..

I would suggest direct changes to the said champion.

Btw, I still take it on Kayle. It's still a really great Keystone on her.

Yea....it's a bit harsh. The on-hit builds are going to suffer. On the other hand Rageblade got a 25% attacks speed buff. Not sure if that really helps.

I like the AD because it helps hybrids get some extra AD but the 4 seconds on stacks is a bit harsh..

Tbh Shyvana never needed it, Yi likes the AD since he benefits 10% more from it from his E, and hie true damage also scales off it.

I think most run Shyv with Stormraiders to chase down squishies, her dueling tanky targets is good enough with E, Bloodrazor, and Bork.

Actually I think ferver is fine, like on hit champions still benefit from the extra ad, and the stacks make it more beneficial to melee than range since they only last like 4 seconds now.

Actually fervor is the most trash keystone.
