Thunderlords is a part of the reason games are so stupidly snowbally and downright unfun right now

Adds burst to champions (especially poke champions) for no reason at all. Nullifies retaliatory minion agro damage because the stronger laner will no longer take back enough damage to offset their combo with thunderlords added on. Causes the weaker laner to be pushed out of lane on repeat with no counterplay or safe farming options. Simply continues to escalate the lead of the stronger laner. Quickly ramps up to the point where 1 combo will push somebody out of the lane, or even instagib the opposing laner.

Really don't know what you're smoking Riot, the game has never been in such bad shape as it is right now.

It also makes poking as supports quite broken, look at thresh with his Q passive plus some auto attacks and boom, 1/4 hp gone just like that, it makes support champs poke so much stronger, sona with what fucking mastery is utterly disgusting not only does she also has a stupid ass poke passive now you can add a little more punch with the masteries. Especially in tbe lower elos where counter play is allmost a rarity.... :/ rito plis it is like when an item made support champs viable as mid laners and top.... -_-*

It is still the beginning of the season. Riot is working on these issues and on the PBE it has already seen changes. If you read the patch notes they did buff the majority of the other Keystone masteries because that's what they're going for. That keystone masteries have a strong direct impact to your playstyle.

Buffing other masteries isn't going to do anything though. The problem is thunderlords and other offensive masteries is that they give strong laners the ability to completely bully out lesser laning champions. None of the current masteries are really set up for defense. There's no way to fight back, no way to farm, and no way to come from behind because you're constantly falling further and further behind. Buffing more offense related masteries is simply going to make the snowballing worse and worse. Champions should not have all this extra burst and damage. It makes the game impossible to play from behind.

Like I mentioned in my comment on the PBE they did change it so that thunderlords is less effective in the early game. This will most likely be live on the next patch.

To be fair it is getting "re balanced" on pbe nerfing it early game buffing it late game

The bounty hunter mastery might be guilty of this as well.

here is the thing thnderlords isnt good the whole game , its mroe of a laning thing and 1v1 but in teamfigths its useless the cd is what kills it all peopel do in laning is use it stay back go in when the cd is up if anything keep the stats raise the cd a little bit, but there making the other key stones stronger like deathfire touch which is great on darius and udyr free dot damage
