Let's say Keystones did increase Damage

Is that a bad thing? Is it a bad thing that, when somebody manages to unleash their QWE or peppers you with AAs, you can't just shrug it off? Why is rewarding consistent aggression a bad thing? Is passively trading CS really the best iteration of LoL gameplay?

For what it's worth, I disagree. I think at most, Keystones evened out the damage done over the course of the game, i.e. more damage early-mid game, less damage mid-late. The old masteries had the problem that either to early-mid game oriented champions ran rampant to make up for the lack of early-mid game damage ... or that everyone played for late game (good old S5, you won't be missed).

EDIT: Who needs arguments? Downvote and move on.

They do though already though? Don't they?

Fervor.. Thunderlords..

all the % damage based on...

% penetration... Gain penetration per level...

I mean you're playing tanks and supports.. Nothing wrong with that but you're not supposed to do that much damage.

Take Morgana and build..

item 2301 item 3146 item 3020 item 3151 item 3135 item 3089

And then tell me that you still don't do damage..

Why gun-blade? Well with your passive spell vamp and how that item heals for any damage (Ability power)... well you know..

Actually better build.

item 3069 item 2045 item 3009 item 3146 item 3065 item 3027

Now your practically a tank..

Wow that's nonsensical. The old offense tree had far more % increased damage than the current one. (You can get either %penetration, which the old tree had too or flat pen level, which gets countered by stacking resistances soooo...)

The keystones, which was the subject I tried and failed to bring up, are all flat damage.

You do know that build is crap, right? Right. You do know it's an offtank build, it has damage items, it's supposed to do damage, right? Right.

I don't even know what your point is. Are you seriously trying to tell me that 9 magic pen and 200-300 damage from TLD will turn that crappy build into a burst build?
