Arcane Blade.

it deals 5% of your AP as an on-hit magic damage on your AA.

it might sound meh to regular AD Champs, but for us AP players, this mean we can last hit a WHOLE LOT BETTER especially with the mages AA animation, you really want that "right" boost.

if anything, i really want this mastery back, i loved it, and i felt like it had the proper impact throughout the game.

Veigar , 50 extra magic damage with every AA, I miss you...

I vote give Oppressor the axe and stick it in that tier on the Red mastery tree.

RalanrDec 29, 20158 votes

Oppresser is great for tanks who take 12 points in the ferocity tree. Why not remove bounty hunter?

Because Bounty Hunter actually has some interesting gameplay associated with it.

Feels too unreliable to me and it just helps snowballing the game.

Wouldn't removing it help to lower snowballing?

I like it on champs that if I do even remotely well I know I can scare a kill on a minimum of 3 champs (like Talon) By the time that oppressors multiplier really matters it is very likely I would have scored at least 1 kill on the adc, mid, and jg/support. So it is straight up better in that case.

However Oppressor I fell is better on champs like Shen. I want the extra damage but it isnt likely I am securing the kills for bounty hunters multiplier.

They both fill different champs wants. So I feel they are both valuable to keep

CatastropDec 29, 20155 votes

Please no. I quite like Oppressor Lissandra

Ez dePazDec 29, 201511 votes

Why remove any? They want 3 in each tree anyway.

RenascentDec 29, 20159 votes

If last hitting is your only gripe about the removal of Arcane Blade, you should probably look at the Savagery mastery again.

Early game you'll have maybe 50 AP for the first few minutes, where last-hitting is most difficult for AP champs. 5% of that AP is 2.5 extra on-hit. Savagery, on the other hand, was buffed from 2 - -> 5, which means the extra oomph for last-hitting is still here.

The only good reason for bringing back Arcane Blade is for giving AP champs who auto or make use of on-hits a lot some more damage.

No, basically every melee assassin benefitted from it.

Kassadin Akali Ekko Diana much more..

and, TwistedFate Teemo

BluePolarizerDec 29, 20152 votes

AP assassins have the worst win rate in the game right now.

HaloDec 30, 20151 votes

Diana 51.46% - It aint bad

Kassadin 47.38% - Havent gone down almost at all since previous patches so i wouldnt say its this patch

Akali 47.32% - Always been sht but is worse now

Ekko 46.13% - Pretty bad

Leblanc 46.34% - Pretty bad too

The thing that makes this completely useless is that most of them have gone up during the preseason so it aint the mastery.

why everyone says she's an assassin?

Actually xPekeDec 30, 20154 votes

Because she basically is an assassin. I play her as Assassin and it works perfectly

Valderis VandalaDec 29, 20157 votes

That's nice and all but why is it that mages have such horrible auto-attack animations? They are required to cs after all.

Billy VoHagenDec 29, 201511 votes

Because it is supposed to be more difficult for them to cs early, since late they can clear the best.

TotalJerkDec 30, 20153 votes

Meanwhile AD champions can get Ravenous Hydra, or Runaan's Hurricane; tanks can get Sunfire Cape, Cinderhulk or Titanic Hydra; and bruisers just generally have easier access to CDR to spam their skills more.

Billy VoHagenDec 30, 20153 votes

Mages still clear the best. Victor or Vel'Koz or Xerath just clear like its nothing.

Darth Pixy MisaDec 29, 20157 votes

Instead of replacing bounty or oppressor, why not add Arcane Blade as a tier 2 mastery in the Ferocity tree? In fact Ferocity and Resolve should have a 3rd choice in tier 2.

ModWulf HelhammerDec 29, 20155 votes

The thing is, the main reason why they had AB was to allow mages and other AP to push towers. Now, all AA on towers have an AP damage component to them. If they brought this back, it would only really be used on a select few champions or really niche builds

They had an ap damage component to them before too it was just buffed by 10% in preseason

I loved this mastery like a brother.

Kayle Diana Azir Teemo ...

Lots of champions would get buffs because of this. As little of a change as it is, could be a nightmare to balance.

My Waifu VanillaDec 30, 201515 votes

It isn't a buff at all. If anything it is the revert of a NERF when when they removed it in the first place.

GetMariahCarriedDec 31, 20153 votes

Given all these people have thunderlord's and fervor now, I'd say it balances out.

FowusDec 29, 20153 votes

ah I remember this on hybrid jax

PennsDec 29, 20153 votes

Early game, where it would actually matter and you dont just one/ twoshot a whole wave yet, this gives you 2- max 5 or 6 bonus damage. Does that really matter lol? Of course you could buff it but I dont see a reason to..

DrCyanideDec 29, 201511 votes

It being gone is also a nerf to AP Ezreal, who loses 5% damage on his Q late game.

CatastropDec 29, 201536 votes

Diana item 3115 A 100% AP Ratio on every third auto, now it just feels so incomplete.

GetMariahCarriedDec 29, 20155 votes

That's okay, you can still vent your rage over the lossed mastery by deleting anyone on the map in 0.7 seconds.

Really, that's what Diana's for: hate.

Huh...wonder why I got downvoted for that. I was trying to play off of the, "No, this is Patrick!" meme.

GetMariahCarriedDec 30, 20153 votes

I am woefully ignorant in regards to a few common meme sources, though I see them regularly. Hence, I went for the closest Patrick I knew. I, however, was not the perpetrator of this downvote. My deepest condolences. Have a sympathy upvote.

RalanrDec 30, 20153 votes

And an upvote in return for your condolences good sir. Much obliged.

Not a common thing, but also was great for when I played AP Varus. Full build and my dps will be equal to an ad build

Dominick DestineDec 29, 20153 votes

Yeah I wish they'd have kept it... it wasn't overpowered but it made it a lot easier to AA last hit.

invisiblecat1Dec 29, 20151 votes

There is nothing it can replace, because riot is trying to no have a specific AD or AP mastery, and make it work for both (they messed up with Warlords)

invisiblecat1Dec 29, 20151 votes

And if it was to be placed as a lower tier mastery there would be no place to put it.
