Is Bounty Hunter's current bonus % damage ever gonna be shown as a buff in-game?

The biggest flaw of this mastery is that you never know how much bonus damage you get from it and it would be just great if you could see it as a buff on your champion. You don't need to make a very detailed tooltip about what champions you killed in particular, but at least show how much stacks you have on it would be a really great QOL change, and allow to better appreciate how good (or bad?) this mastery actually is.

The same thing with "Expose Weakness".

I still don't fully know how that thing works to this day...

I always wonder whether you deal increased damage, too. I mean, it says "your allies deal increased damage". It would make sense you count as an ally by ally targeting rules, however making it support-based mastery also makes sense.

Wasn't it in the same tier as double-edged sword when it gave 2.5% damage increase? In that case it would make very little sense to take double-edged sword, if you could just hit an enemy with a spell and get a bigger damage bonus without sacrificing your own safety.

you are not an ally, expose weakness only works for the other 4 players on your team. It's meant as a frontline tank talent, since tanks wouldn't want to take 2.5% more damage from double edged sword. It's also intended for supports that have engage mechanics like thresh or leona so your adc will deal 3% more to your target.

Theirs a ton of Mastery related Tool Tips I want on my HUD. Sometimes I lose track of who I've killed for Bounty Hunter, how much longer till Fresh Blood is up, ETC

I agree with you. A buff that shows who you killed and how much %buff you get will be so helpfull! And I think it will actually create some sort of a pesudo-side-quest to people that have that skill that will actually enforce the mastery mind set. "I have 2/5 stacks, lets target mid now".

Embrace the hunter within you!

I'm just plain tired of all this % dmg increase/decrease crap. why not just let dmg items do dmg and tank items tank? all this % dmg is all "hidden power" that riot claims to not like... then again rito isnt new to hypocracy. Oppressor removed:"Champions either have perma-crowd control or they don’t. How you play makes little difference when the only question is whether you can activate Oppressor or not, so we’re removing it in favor of more versatile options. " Courage of colossus added: "gain shield for hitting champions with hard CC" [zombie-brand-facepalm]

Wat. % might be scary because people don't like math but it seems to be a perfectly legit way to give carries scaling damage and incremental early game advantages.

They don't like it when abilities have random strengths tacked onto them. Case and point: Opressor. Slows are a dime a dozen, especially when it's not a 1v1.

They do like it when abilities have rewards tacked onto them. Case and point: CotC. You hit CC? Gj for catching somebody out, have a shield. People were also complaining about how quickly tanks die, and since Riot makes a point of listening to people... you got CotC.

just play rengar right?

StradNov 21, 20162 votes

mastery is broken with rengar because you do that anyway. Free bonus stacking yay! [zombie-nunu-hearts]

Pale PirateNov 21, 20162 votes

Yeah. Rito, are you afraid of informational overloads? Then make a setting in the options for it, so we can turn it on and off as we wish.

RisenDarkKnightNov 21, 20162 votes

Yeah they have nice buff indicators for greenfather's blessing, fresh blood, and fearless but they are not as big as the 7.5% bonus from bounty hunter.

i'd prefer to see it affect my ability tooltips directly but I feel that'd get too messy

DengedenNov 21, 20161 votes

They don't want to clutter up the HUD. You could just look at the damage you do to minions and monsters.

Patch 6.23 is RIDDLED with gameplay decisions that is going to make a literal &#&$ing nightmare.

Vayne very strong? Buff BotRK. Anivia top 10 mid? Slightly nerf one ability and buff the others to compensate. Rengar still one shotting people and now has a built in Scimitar active? Fix a single bug and call it a day.

Not even going to play this patch. Waiting until the next patch for the winter map.
