I enjoyed league a lot more before keystones came about.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion but honestly I find keystones add nothing to the game besides raw power that, I find, is completely unnecessary. Keystones feel more cheese than skill. They make champions that shouldn't be bursty, bursty. They give Syndra the potential to one shot you with just her ultimate and 1 Q. My personal favourite is being hit by a jhin Q only to take the same amount of damage in deathfire touch. Or having that pesky mage auto fly across the map and hit you and killing you as it procs thunderlords. Or having that Caitlyn headshot you for 100000000000 damage with fervor. Or being one shot by that Vayne as you try to burst her as a mage but are unable to because of warlords.

All in all I believe that keystones are here to stay, but I don't think they are a healthy part of league in any way, shape, or form

We see champions being nerfed because they're so strong with a certain keystone. Off the top of my head, Zed & Maokai. Maybe they would have gotten nerfed either way.

My problem with keystones is that they often have more impact on trading than the champ themselves. Like Tlords or CoC

They have to make them class specific and it has to be OP enough but not broken, a tough task.

End of season 5 when they finally polished the Mastery Tree and jungle.
