Season 6 changes look amazing, but masteries need one change for new players
I love every change this preseason. And I do mean every, from the marksman update, to vision, to champ select, to masteries, to starting items, but the masteries do need one change for new players. Getting 1 mastery point per level from 1-30 is honestly very stupid, and gives new players a really hard time when facing against higher levels players, for absolutely no reason other than that other person has played more on that account.
Get rid of this unnecessary advantage, and just give 30 mastery points right from the get go, and let new players learn what do to with them right away. Higher levels players also get runes as well, it's just salt in the wound that they get more mastery points as well. Just give everyone 30 from the start and that's one less thing people get put in a hole with.
I'm not even asking to do anything with runes, because personally I think Riot has done really well in that department lately (tier 1 and 2s are highly discounted and they permanently slashed the price of "starting" tier 3 runes). Riot has been making a lot of progressive steps with this preseason, and this is one that I think is logical and needs to happen for those still trying to get to 30. No one is buying the experience boosters anyway, you're not losing profit with this at all either.
