Strength of the ages is THE jungle keystone...

...and I hate it.

It's the best jungle keystone by far on like 99% of junglers. I'm even seeing with it these days. It's such a boring keystone too, literally just stats and nothing else to it. Why does this keystone get to be so much more efficient for jungle than the other keystones? I think this is part of the reason why and became so dominant and needed to be nerfed.

When Riot reworked Warlord's Bloodlust for the third time (which is also a pretty bland keystone) they specifically said that they did not want the lifesteal to apply to jungle monsters or else it would become THE goto jungler keystone. Well guess what, that is exactly what SotA has become. Just Riot logic at work.

If the other keystones could be used on the jungle creeps, Grasp, Fervor, Thunder Lords, Warlords, they would all instantly replace strength of the ages. It's not that Strength of the ages is THE keystone, it's that the other keystones just don't function in jungle. Which is stupid. Jungle diversity would be much higher if you could utilize those other keystones in the jungle. Hopefully preseason Riot will realize that

it's just defencive stats for farming. and it's super gold efficient i used it on assasins too. ( not kha ofc ) and it help you take 1-2 extra hits and allows you to skip sustain in a lot of cases.

So what if there's a generally accepted jungle keystone? It's not the best, it's just the easiest to utilize on any champ.

You can run jungle with other keystones and still make good use of them.

Those champions are good because of the utility they provide along with being able to be buildt mostly tanky while doing damage has nothing to do with the champions. Those types of champions will always be the best in competitive where as in solo que its a whole different story.

Use whatever keystone you want man, they aren't forcing you to use it.
