Isn't Deathfire Touch kinda underwhelming?

Unless your playing Brand or Malz, why would anybody take Deathfire Touch? It's utterly pathetic compared to other options. I'm sure we'd like to see it made a viable option.

Deathfire turns Pantheon's Q into a 200% bonus AD ratio poke every 4s.

I just had to lane against that. It was HORRIBLE.

darius it works on, or if you get red buff and red smite it works great let the dot true damage ruin everything

Eh, Darius should be taking Grasp anyway though.

if u think so. lets not stack the bleed damage or anything

Its ok early but will fall of hard due to the lack of AD later.

nah still great on swain. Just poke with spells thats what its for

Apparently it was also good on swain before they nerfed both him & the mastery; but yeah it's incredibly lackluster except for a select few.

Annie Anivia Ezreal Corki Jayce KogMaw Lulu Lissandra Kennen Malzahar Syndra Ziggs Xerath Velkoz Orianna just use it for poking not teamfighting and junk. You all expect it to dominate. Its just for poke lane bullies

I find thunderlords, both before & after deathfire touch nerfs, was more oppressive on poke & burst champions. Doesn't help that there's still 5 thunderlords a game.

It is still the best mastery on Swain, better than Thunderlord's Decree.

Granted, but haven't seen swain since his nerfs, even avoided in aram.

Teemo : item 3116 , item 3151 , item 3020 , item 3115 , item 3091 , item 3285 . and DFT.

Makes no sense to take DFT on virtually an AP without Deathcap.

Your sole task as teemo is to be an annoying turd and make the enemy team's game no fun whatsoever. Your teamfight's weak, and your escape's easily countered. Smart play and stacking Penetration does more than bonus AP, and Luden's on Shroom Damage is more useful for Waveclear than just flat-stacking AP.

VekknaFeb 18, 20161 votes

Ok. Then don't take DFT.

I accidentally used it on renekton one game and then I looked at it and was like 'wow, 146 dot on every spell hit, halved for AOE, that's still 70 more damage on every ability i hit in a fight' not as good as fervor for his W, but still

I prefer it on Ziggs. He's not really a combo mage and sometimes it's hard to reliably hit your Qs. It's pretty difficult to reliably proc Thunderlord's on him, so I prefer the guaranteed DFT dmg.

I also used to take it on AD caster Varus for the same reasons (until Jhin came out and completely invalidated him).
