A common argument I see about Resolve keystones is that they need to have a visual indicator.

And while I do agree with that, it strikes me odd that other keystones outside of TLD don't. I have no idea how many fervor stacks someone has when fighting me without trying to look at their HUD (or whatever it is when I see their information on the top left corner). Nor do I see an indication that I'm currently being effected by DFT outside of my HUD. This isn't even considering noticing Warlords or Windspeakers in action.

I guess this is because these masteries are much more passive in comparison, but it still kinda bugs me.

DFT has a very clear burn animation, Warlord's has a unique swirling green mist on the user and Windspeaker's is easily the most clear when being used considering it's a glaring yellow shield icon. Fervor is honestly the one I agree with here, I think it's indicator is basically just a red recolour of the foggy stuff you get on your hands when grasp is ready, not too sure as I rarely see it in game.

On another note, considering the only resolve mastery in my opinion with a very vague indicator is Bond. Whoever's complaining about the others must be blind if they somehow miss the green shield and aforementioned foggy hand stuff.

Guess I'm blind because I thought the green Stuff was just Nasus's passive (and I don't see wind speakers much).

Nah, Warlord's is understandable if you've never really played with a lifesteal item, otherwise it's a bit hard to differentiate between normal lifesteal's green effect to warlord's.

You mean the healing effect? Not just for lifesteal? Or something else?

Also Warlord's makes a red swirl when the user is low (thus using the mastery more effectively by vamping more health from it)

Normal lifesteal almost looks likes a brief pot animation, Warlord's is more misty.

It's always appeared green for me actually.

Warlords is a red swirl for me?

I've never seen Windspeakers 0_o

Windspeaker's has a shield icon next to the champion affected. It's in the same location as black cleaver and Vi's W passive, but instead of broken shield, it's intact.

Pretty sure DFT has a "burn" animation, and I think your hands start glowing red now at max Fervor stacks.. on PBE at least.

I guess I don't notice the burn. My bad.

actually the only one with no visual cue is bond of stone, grasp has the green swirls, Warlords has red svirls, sclaeing in intensity the lower your life drops, dft has a burn, ferrvor gives a red glow on your hands that gets more intense the more stacks you have, Stormraiders gives the usually ghost effect(though it's impossible to tell if you use ghost or a ohage item at the same time as they have the exact same visualls)

Clearity amongst keystones is not ideal, but one also has to aovid visuall clutter, especially with presistant effects like fervor.
