Bounty hunter was always outclassed by oppressor in Season 6 and now Double Edge Sword or for tanky champs Battle Trance, since they are reliable.
Why not make it like 
's current bonetooth mechanic: if you damaged a champion within the last 1.5 seconds.
That way you just need to deal damage and not try to KS or save up abilities just for the sake of getting the kill.

Ralanr1 votes"High risk high reward"
There is literally no risk to this keystone if you play passively and get one or two kills over the course of the game. It doesn't really encourage any more risk that a player who wanted kills would take, it only offers more reward.
You'd think killing your opponent would be enough.
JoroA1 votesThe risk is that your laning phase is 5% weaker and you are going to lose trades and damage... In high Elo early game is the most important part of the game and later on small % damage like 7 or 5 is useless if you have not won lane. Bounty hunter is useless on any champion that does not roam.
Ralanr1 votesHow is it 5% weaker? Because you don't take double edged sword that makes you take 2.5% more damage on top of doing 5% more damage?
Or because you choose not to take Battle Trance? Bounty hunter is just a snowball one that doesn't take time to ramp up or hurts you for not utilizing it in lane.
