4th Mastery tree just for supports?

Zero Skill Tank·Mar 14, 2016·2 votes·399 views

Just like gold generating items provide good stuff for supports, because they are usually not worth to buy on laners (except for spooky for short period), we could have supporting tree. Right now we can't i.e. have vision enhancing keystone in Cunning, or better version of expose weakness, or mastery granting you mini-version of Leona's passive to make supports more relevant, because everybody and their mother would take it.

BUT if such masteries required you to dig dip into say Assistance tree, making you pass on assassin, dangerous game, precision and all of that if you want it, maybe it would be doable.

Thoughts?

Supports might not have many option they still have access to a decent line:

Ferocity: Sorcery > Double-Edged Sword/Expose Weakness > Natural Talent > Oppressor > Piercing Thoughts > Deathfire Touch
Cunning: Wanderer > Secret Stash > Tier 4 (Meditation/Merciless for kill lanes) > Tier 5 > Thunderlord's Decree/Windspeaker's Blessing
Resolve: Tier 1 > Tier 2 > Tier 3 > Tier 4 > Tier 5 > Grasp of the Undying /Bond of Stone

Both Cunning as Resolve both have a fair amount of options available to them while Resolve can provide the most option add this point in time. I don't have the feeling the ballances is such a problem both T4/T6/T0 and T4/T0/T6 are both worth exploring. And as far T6/T4/T0 & T6/T0/T4 goes I'm even sure these options are even intended to work. Your options are limited but you still can full a line with it.
