Can we finally deal with Thunderlord's

Instead of nerfing everyone and their mother that abuses it. I mean seriously if everyone is using it, it is a problem. It reminds me very much of . It is starting to root itself in the game and being made almost essential unless the champ synergizes better with another mastery similar to how often replaces with , but can do pretty well with either. Thunderlord's is way too good right now. It is essentially the flash of the keystones. Why take the other ones unless you can guarantee that it is better for your champ in your specific match up. Seriously, I main and I take that over any other keystone because it quite literally is that good. Why take anything else if you can take Thunderlord's and snowball.

I understand there is supposed to be a choice in masteries, but right now it's basically: "Does my niche benefit any more from anything other than Thunderlord's?" instead of "Which Keystone is best for my champ?". I understand Riot is trying to buff up the other keystones, but that just creates more problems. Keystones are supposed to be influential, but they aren't supposed to outweigh items. Right now if you don't take the right Keystone for your champ, you are almost always screwed. Keystones are supposed to influential, but not to the point where it breaks the entire game down because the keystones are forcing games to be decided (as in the point where there is a extremely low chance of coming back) 10-15 minutes earlier on average. Games are being decided before the 20 minute mark which IMO is a bad thing. It's the reason Kog rework got overboard because games were ending way too fast, so Riot decided to give him an early game and look what it did. It created a monster in 1 patch. A single patch made someone go from "eh" to "Fuck Kog, perma banned."

There are people in Diamond+ who just don't want to play this game anymore just because it's literally a pick fest. Whoever picks more top tier champs wins in more than 50% of games (unless top tiers are picked that have anti-synergy with eachother like and ). And this all sprouts from Keystones being brought up to Thunderlord's strength instead of just nerfing/reworking the damn problem which was Thunderlord's itself.
