Keystones: Failed experiment

iTaLenTZ·Dec 11, 2015·2 votes·441 views

The game has become 'which champs synergize best with the strongest keystones'

Also keystones didn't change the way anyone plays the game. Everyone does exactly the same as they did before but now get an extra effect on top of it. That is the problem. It didn't change anything. It is just another nuisance to balance around on.

1st: Tryndamere and Yasuo meta 2st: Brand and Anivia meta 3rd: Thunderlord meta 4th: What is next to come?

Meanwhile champs like Anivia, Swain and Malzahar got nerfed during the proces because their synergie with their keystone was too strong and their keystone got nerfed as well leaving them in a worse position prior to the implementation of said keystone. Same goes for Brand, Tryndamere and Yasuo in less extend. So each time we move on to 'the next best thing'

I wouldn't say it's a failure. It's certainly more enjoyable than a flat +3% increased damage.

4th will probably be the "Strength of the Ages" meta when Riot gets around to changing it to not be a useless mastery on anyone but Sion (and even he operates better with Grasp of the Undying)
