Devastating Strikes

FantasySniper··9 votes·1,063 views

I want to propose a change to split up Devastating Strikes into 2 separate masteries, each "above" (although it's visually below) the respective Warlord and Archmage for the different penetrations. Each would only be 2 points instead of the 3, and each rank would give 3% for each point.

Foreseen Consequences:

  • 1 more point to spend elsewhere.
  • Indirect nerf to mixed/hybrid damage champions, like AD Kog'Maw, AD Tristana, Akali, Kayle, Jax, Nidalee, etc.

I propose this simply because champions like these are/ have been dominating the meta because of their massive damage opportunity coming from both types. It might also allow easier allocation for things like Blade-Weaving, which are hard to fit into a page without sacrifice. As for champions like Varus, Miss Fortune, (Twisted Fate?) and several others who still deal hybrid damage, they can receive compensation buffs to keep them in their current state.

Armor Pen would retain the same icon, I also think it should retain the same name, but suggestions are welcome. Magic Pen would have an icon similar to this, or maybe this. The name could be "Annihilating (something)", but again, suggestions are welcome.

Damn formatting is glitching out on me, sorry, you'll have to deal with these... (http://herenvale.s3.amazonaws.com/images/items/weapons/b6_crystal_w_staff_enh.png) (http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/a8/6b/2a/a86b2ac97642590821256b2ffbb8ed55.jpg)

I would like to actually be able to use spell/blade weaving...

I like the idea of having each penetration be its own mastery, makes more sense.

if void staff give you, 35% and last whisper too. I think an item like that will costs 2800 and give you 25% hybrid pen.

I agree. An item that gives no other stats than 25% (not points, flat percent) armor pen and magic pen for 2800 would be great.

Hybrid pen will have difficulty working for the simple reason that you're dealing damage that is already difficult to build against in itself. If I were you, I would base it off something like item 3124 for a starting platform.

At this point in the season I dont think anything will be done. Riot changes the masteries every season anyway and they may go back to the separate pens for season 5

I hope so.
