You can only put 5 points in any tier of s6 mastery system?

Was reading that you can only put the number of points needed to get to the key stone level into each tier of a mastery level. Is this true (I haven't played on the pbe) and if so why? It seems to me that if there is a tier that is more valuable than another on a certain champ it is weird to not be able to access it. For instance, I feel like if you're going for the best Dr Mundo masteries w/ the new system you'd want both the 6% max health, and the 8% increased healing more than you'd want the tenacity/slow reduction, or the 2-10 mr/armor based on enemy champs present. Why would you be limited to picking masteries that are possibly worse than others in the tree just to open up a t3 key stone that is good?

Probably because they wanted to add tradeoffs to the mastery system and make some masteries more powerful without making some ridiculous combos (such as your mentioned health boost and increased healing.)

Yeah, it just makes some tiers really lack luster, like t3 defense is good on a lot of defensive champs but on some it just feels like getting hit in the face and being asked to say thank you for it. I guess overall it's an improvement though so can't complain, plus it just gives an excuse to run 18/12/0 mundo bc masteries were being mean and mundo doesn't want to play w/ them any more.
