I feel likeComet needs to be something else/ Aery needs a shift in focus

Whats the real point behind what comet offers when Aery can be all around more useful. Aery scales into late game to deal around 50-80 damage late game while comet does 120-160

Differene: aery usually procs 2-3 times

Aery does around 15-20 damage per proc in lane before first back, and 20-35 over the duration of lane phase, Comet does around 20-30 before first back and 40-60 over the same duration.

Difference: Both incentivise aggressive poke playstyles, Aery rewards you by giving you more flat damage by the time your ability is up/ able to auto attack (which is another pro it has over comet.) while comet gives you 10-20 seconds before you have a mastery again if you poke well, which supposedly works for long range high burst champions with a kill threshold of around 40-50% at level 6,

though DoT champions and non-artillery poke champions rely on aery for the most part, comet lacks its own unique identity and opens alot of holes in playstyles.

But overall thats just how I feel, If im wrong please enlighten me.

Comet has double the ap scaling as well as scaling with ad. Aery doesn't scale with ad but increases your shields. Truly comet was supposed to be the damage one and aery was supposed to be the supportive replacement for windspeakers. But aery is guaranteed to proc. So unless the champ has slows most people take aery. I feel like if the buffed the speed of the coment by at bit and droped the ratios down to maybe 15% ap and 30%ad but made it more reliable comet would be a better choice

The problem with comet is that it doesnt do enough damage compared to aery fr it to be really worth, comet focuses on the same thing, but comet has less ways to proc and punishes you for not being even more aggressive even if you dont have a mastery for 60-20 seconds.

were are you getting 60-20 seconds. Its 20-8 based on level though. And it does significantly more damage its just not as reliable. im not disagreeing that sans a select few champs aery is better for damage while its supposed to be the enchanter keystone. But i really think your mistaken on exactly what each keystone does

@thread IMO the "support and tank" keystones need the same ultra low cooldown as almost every other keystone. 5-10 seconds seems pretty fair IMO.
