This absurd mastery that EVERYONE is taking which is a joke.

Thunderlords appears to be the best for top, support, jungle, adc and mid.... I mean really. pretty much every single game 7+ people have it in the game which is a joke within itself. How has this not been fixed, why does riot consistently have such broken shit in the game I understand its pre season but this is by far this most broken 2 patches I have actually seen. Firstly Riot pays 0 attention to how items effect champs. now we have such a broken mastery everyone even my mother who doesn't even know what the game is, is taking it. Having an extra 50 damage + at level 5 means you basically win every single trade unless you take that mastery and trade back. The damage is outrageous and scale throughout the game. High elo games are taking no longer that 25 minutes to be over. That is a joke beyond all measure. You just walk in lane and have this endless trading in every lane with next to 0 farming at all. like you see champs with 2 items doing 3 times the damage they was doing before the patch. Theres a broken support item which stops you from moving in a lane or anywhere for that matter which mid EVERY "mid" lane is taking because the slow is that strong. Whats the point ? There is none at all and the fact that you are giving random champs minor nerfs when its not the champs its the items and the masteries. Give flat damage health tank or movement speed or something but not endless damage. you dont need these level 2 all ins on every lane. I saw 7 people die at 3:20 simply because people are going all in. The pace of the game really needs to be slowed down by at least 10 minutes. Farming is not even a skill any more. It's like oh i killed you at level 3 you cant fight me I'm going to deny you for the entire laning phase and walk into a 5v5 with 80 cs above you at level 10. The game was actually balanced with some very minor tweeks needed to certain champs.

The main cause is because you put stuff on the PBE and nothing gets reported back. I mean how does yasuo get 100% crit at 3300 gold with a broken mastery get through the patch? It just doesnt make sense.

The only reason thunderlord's is so prevalent is because A. not as many tanks are being picked, so their won't be as many tank masteries taken B. All the ferocity masteries suck, with Warlord's bloodlust and DFT extremely situational and only strong on a few champions. Fervor of battle was nerfed so it's worse than thunderlord's C. Both windspeaker's blessing and soraka were nerfed so either tank masteries or thunderlord's are good on most supports. D. While stormraider's surge is strong, it is far more situational than thunderlord's E. ADCs are forced to take it because the crit mastery and fervor of battle kind of suck right now

Riot has realized that Thunderlord's isn't too strong, but the other masteries are too weak (and thank god they did) on the PBE and have buffed almost all the other tier three keystones, the era of 8+ thunderlord's per game is going to end soon dude, keep you shirt on.

Look at the pbe. Theyre buffing several of the other keystones so that they compete with thunderlords

Also, there is a certain Windseekers blessing I think it's called that is good for supports.

Windspeaker's Blessing is only good on certain supports, the ones with shield/heals, and half of them it's better to go thunderlord's anyway. It also got nerfed last patch.

Nami for example makes better use of Thunderlords than Windpseaker's because of how long her heal CD is, Janna is in a similar situation except she can apply it in an AoE fashion with her ultimate.

What did you expect to happen, after RIOT nerfed every other keystone mastery?

Hello I am Bird1 votes

Thank you for posting this.

It's nice to see that there are still some people that retain their sanity throughout all their exposure to the boards.

I agree that they need to slow down the game through itemization and maybe toning down the masteries a bit.

Everyone up vote so this post makes it higher on the boards.

Truthfully, I neever used to take Thunderlord'svon Kennen since in order to do, I either had to get biscuits (which don't trally help Kennen) or buffs lasting longer (which only really helps if I have baron or fifth dragon, in which case, 25 extra seconds shouldn't matter since the game should be over). However, once they added the assasin mastery, now Thumderlords doesn't seem like I'm wasting my tier one mastery so I go for Thunderlords

Thunderlord's isn't op. The damage is actually less than taking Fervor or DFT and unlike those it has a 20 second cooldown. They just made Fervor take a few seconds to spool up instead of it being a perma 80 ad. How you didn't think having 80 ad always wasn't broken is beyond me. They are going back and making it not take quite as long to spool up now, which is the right choice.

They are trying to make the game faster and less boring believe it or not farming sucks and most people dont like it because it drags out the game. LCS want to see more teamfights and less dull moment because that is what Heros of the Storm is gearing towards

It has a 20 second cd it's like a passive ability.

I dunno what you're talking about. I much prefer Grasp of the Undying on my Top picks.
