Tanks doing too much damages in early S6 and not easy to bully in early game ? Grasp of the Undying.

Assassins / skirmishers not supposed to be built tanky but they can thanks to absurd base damages through AA ? Fervor of Battle.

Bullshit reworked Graves toplane healing himself better than Vlad or Aatrox ? Warlord's Bloodlust (pre-nerf).

The whole fiasco pre-season S6 Tryndamere / Yasuo / Jax ? Warlord's Bloodlust (pre-reworked) and Fervor of Battle (getting stacks on monsters / minions).

Bruiser / Tank Master Yi ? Fervor of Battle.

Keystone masteries give too much base damages / sustain. Ekko tank had shitty damages back in S5. He was picked as a jungler for his utility and because he was very disruptive. Not for his damages / tank ratio at all.

Delete keystone masteries. Problems solved.

Downvoted but only one response. Nice.

Anyway, I find amazing that nowadays you can simply build a Trinity and take Fervor of Battle and still have relevant damages even in lategame.

Back in S5, if you had taken Ekko or Yasuo and if you had built them with only Trinity for damages, they would have awful damages.

Squishies and most bruisers didn't need extra damages at all through TLD or Fervor of Battle or even more sustain. They were already in a good spot as a whole. Remember right before the S5 Worlds, after Fiora and the Juggernauts were nerfed : a lot of different picks were viable and it did translate on the competitive scene.

On the paper, Keystone masteries sounded awesome and I was pretty excited when Riot announced the system.

In practice, we didn't need them. And we didn't need more damages at all. They only gave more kill pressure to champions that were near insufferable in lane (helloooooooooo Zed a couple of patchs ago) or allowed builds that should be ******* on some very specific champions.
