remember when preseason was released and everyone was crying about how much thunderlords sucked?

lesson to be learned: don't make any balance judgments until at least a week after a patch is released

remember when they buffed it twice and nerfed every other good keystone into the ground? remember when it was bugged so that only one person per team could actually use thunderlords?

Lesson to be learned: don't down to people about what happened in hindsight unless you actually know what you're talking about.

nd nerfed every other good keystone into the ground?

Windspeaker's blessing.

I realize only about 10% of the community ever plays a champion that are capable of using it. Then about 5% of them willingly play champions designed around such abilities. And 2% of those do so regularly.

But windspeaker's blessing is still around and still good.

It got heavily nerfed though since it now gives a lot less armor to the guys who actually care about armor. (As if 10 armor is going to save your ADC from a Zed/Rengar... seriously).

So is Grasp of the Undying doesn't mean having 5 out of the 9 keystones being trash is acceptable.

The patch got released 2 patches ago which equals around a month. During this time the skill got buffed in a state where it just isnt useless and viable in any situation. All the other keystones got nerfed, especially the damage tree.

How are people supposed to predict that? We cant control any changes Riot is making.

Lol. Thunderlords was buffed due to the amount of complains stating that the mastery "sucked". If people did not complain, then Thunderlords would never have been buffed.

OrangesilkDec 29, 20151 votes

It was buffed while EVERY other mastery got nerfed to the ground.

It was only natural that this would happen.

They really need to increase the %Armor pen in the ferocity tree, that will weaken tanks and entice people to run full ferocity, this will in turn allow Riot to re-buff some of the tanky masteries.

And now everything would be all right with the world.

that's not true, it wasn't as good as the other keystones, but then the other keystones got nerfed and.. well. do you see where i'm going with this?
