the only reason why we karthus player take aery is because it consistent with the dps and it has good base damage but if the base damage is getting nerfed then what will karthus take as a keystone? it wont have good base damage anymore and it doesnt scale for mages but scales for shield supports like janna so im worried :/
I feel you as a Morde main I only take it as the " well I have no other option" pick
Aery? It is only going to be nerfed for the first few levels, which unless if I am wrong he is supposed to scale, not blow people up at level 1.
honestly, as a Karthus player I almost never took Aery to begin with; I never liked the damage. With assassins still being prevalent in mid lane, I've always taken Electrocute Mid (or Predator when going JG) and waited for them to try and all in. Karthus is one of the few mages who can reliably run Exhaust most of the time, and in fact if you're feeling especially ballsy, try going Ignite+exhaust and see what happens. as a secondary tree, I've always loved the precision tree with Presence of Mind into either Coup or Last Stand, but going Manaflow into either Transcendence, Gathering Storm, or Scorch work just fine as well.
He will take a free ticket to the garbage bin and remain there until.. god knows how long.
