I noticed that I keep bumping into enemy teams with 4 out of 5 players with keystones against our team which had 1 keystone. its basically a setup for a loss imo. Summoners with keystones have a huge advantage while laning via keystone and runes. Riot please disable keystones in lower levels when there is none on another team...
HEAljvLykd1 votesany level below 18 has keystones disabled.
xSHARKPUNCHERx2 voteswhat is happening is that we are getting matched with higher levels over 18 and so i am level 14 and no keystone. most of the time im laning vs someone with a keystone, which literally makes it a ff lane. u can farm, but u cant win any exchanges at all. they hit you 3x and you get nuked thanks to keystone. Now add 4 players to enemy team with a keystone vs 1 on our team. seams a bit unfair. Makes a huge difference when the dude infront of you has 2x more masteries and 2x more runes.
KawaiiShroom1 votesSkill on the champion makes the biggest impact in the game. It's an disadvantage sure but if you are better on your champion than the enemy on his you can beat him.
darkmatchwaldo1 votesKeystones don't make THAT much of a difference. It's a slight advantage that you can overcome easily if you know what you're doing.
xSHARKPUNCHERx1 voteswe should ask a pro if fighting another pro is no different if they have keystone and masteries advantage :) thats silly. BUT i agree, site advantage and ganks can help a lot, and as you said, when you know what you are doing. All the more reason to not pair higher levels to lower levels.
darkmatchwaldo1 votesI mean you said it yourself in the other comment "u can farm, but u cant win any exchanges at all."
You can win a lane based on farming alone. Even if you can't win you can still go even. You can even lose 5-10 cs and still be fine. Once it comes down to teamfights, them having Thunderlords/Strength/Grasp etc. isn't going to decide who wins the fight.
SwiftSwifties 1 votesCoC can cost an entire team fight what is that like up to 25% more hp for someone in shield form? And blood lust is a great heal for all adcs if they do or dont know what they are doing....Fevor thats a long sword like 350 gold again just from aaing so even if they dont know what it does its still a good advantage
Erockandroll1 votesThe problem is, the difference between 17 and 18 isn't that great in terms of ELO. so they are going to be continued to be matched up with each other. And you don't want so suppress keystone usage on players that have it unlocked. People who have just unlocked it, are going to want to try them out, and you don't want to stop them from doing so.
Lastly, Chances are, level 18's arn't going to know how to use the Keystones to their maximum value. So what they actually give you at that level is negligible.
