Keystone concept

Hi. I was thinking that League needed something interesting in the Inspiration tree, and noticed that Inspiration was lacking something creative for damage. This keystone is all about damage - and it changes your style of gameplay dramatically in a rule-breaking way.

New Keystone (Inspiration) Magical Glass -Deal 50% increased damage to all units. Take 100% increased damage from all units.

This inspiration keystone is the definition of polarizing, differentiated gameplay, and it fills the hole left in the Inspiration tree for damage. If you take 100% increased damage, even a single Ignite could be deadly - so someone taking this keystone might take Cleanse, for example, to negate Ignite damage. Or, they could take Ignite themselves and double down on the glass-cannon style gameplay.

Cleanse doesn't negate Ignite damage, are you serious?

100%....... so i just double the damage i take to do 1.5x the damage to them? [sg-ahri-3] although something like stoneborn pact would be nice https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Stoneborn_Pact

or even something like windspeakers blessing for inpiration keystones https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Windspeaker%27s_Blessing

but idk about 50 for 100 tradeoffs itd be insane in game because right now they only have crappy versions of some of the pretty decent old runes

i don't think inspiration is meant to do damage. that's what domination and precision is for.

Inspiration is meant to be a utility based tree in place of the "Cunning" mastery skill tree that we had before runes reforged.

I don't really like the new omnistone keystone either, but i don't think a new "glasscannon" style keystone would be very ideal in league of legends. Squishies are squishy enough.

Damage with a drawback? Riot would never implement that in their game.

Real talk though, you have 20% less health and deal 20% more damage would make more sense.

And everyone's baseline damage going down by about 20% across the board in the same patch.
