That's my Utility Tree for season 5 :D
I hope you liked it.
Now I'm going to try and explain all of the changes and why I think they would improve the Utility Tree.

---

Fleet of Foot
I knew I was going to remove the Wanderer effect later on. but I wanted to keep the bonus Movement Speed when out of battle since it helps Support get to lane, and ward and what-not. So I changed the mastery to be a bit of both. It offers 1/1.5/2% Movement Speed when out of combat, which is halved when in combat.
It's not much, but I think it's still better than simply removing Wanderer and keeping the current Fleet of Foot.
(Don't you trolls dare write 'well keeping Wanderer would be even better, hurdurrr'). And anyways ^^: If you only put one point into it, you could almost consider it a being a buff, since you'll still have the .5% Movement Speed of the current Fleet of Foot, but also 1% when out of combat :D

Meditation
I nerfed the early numbers, comparing 3 points in it now and 3 points in it then, but I added a fourth point because of the Expanded Mind follow-up. Overall with four points it's just as strong as 9 MP5 Seals, and if you only put one point into it, which is fairly popular, it's just as strong as it is now.

Expanded Mind
I decided to move this further up, because I needed something to replace the current Strength of Spirit, which is weirdly unpopular. I understand that for a mastery it is somewhat strong, but it's still unpopular for a reason. Other than that: Limiting the increased Mana to bonus Mana makes the mastery far weaker than one would think. It's only really good if you are going to buy at least 2 Mana items. I imagine it would be popular on Ryze and Taric, but also on champions like Karthus, Nidalee, Jayce, Singed, Kassadin and Blitzcrank, since you only have to put 5 points into Utility to get it, and the other four points spent grant you 9 runes worth of MP5.
From a gold perspective switching Strength of Spirit with Expanded Mind is actually a nerf, hence only specific champions can make good use of it. Like Blitzcrank with his passive and Taric, Ryze and Kassadin with their scalings.

Wealth
First of all I had to move Wealth because I wanted to put Bandit further down the Tree to allow more 50-50-ish Mastery Trees. Tanks and Mages will only have to spend 13 points to get it, rather than 17, and since I removed the GP10 the buff is actually somewhat justified.
(I removed the GP10 because it was ... incredibly weak, and I wanted to replace it with more interesting things).
Then I had to decide: Put Wealth further up or down in utility? I decided down, since I want to reserve up for stronger effects.
Now, I couldn't simply put the current Wealth one step down. I would have one row with four 1-Rank masteries, and I so I decided to give it 3 points.
30/45/60 to allow certain things and interesting starts.

Rune Reaper (Runic Affinity) (I only gave it another name so that it befits its new theme ^^) I gave the '9 points in Utility' path more interesting options with Vampirism and Wealth, but I wanted to make Runic Affinity more interesting as well, to keep up with the other two.
As a jungler, would you want 30 seconds more time on your buffs, or 2% Lifesteal/ Spellvamp? And as a laner as well? Or maybe 30 more gold for whatever reason (dorans start?).
I wanted to make Runic Affinity more interesting for Junglers, while still a strong option for some laners, since there are always people like Morde and Ori that kill the Wraiths.
With the new Rune Reaper you can get much more time on your buffs if you're a jungler. Killing 5 large monsters in 2 minutes and 30 seconds seems possible. And for every one after that you gain 6 more seconds. So after that it's a buff.
I can't explain this change as good, but I hope you get my reasoning anyways.

Vampirism
I made a thread about this concept, here.
Essentially it's: You put a point into Vampirism and by clicking on it again you decide if you want the Lifesteal or the Spellvamp, but you can't have both, well not at first.

By making Vampirism a 1 point mastery I made it a '9 point' mastery for the 21-9 mastery trees.
Imagine, as a Marksman you put 21 into offense and 9 into Utility, with your 9th point in Vampirism. It's stronger than the current Vampirism for some characters, weaker for others, but I still think it would be a healthy change.
You can still get both effects later on, but if you only put 9 points into utility I think it's a buff.

Greed
This one I think is interesting.
As a support you traditionally don't get as much kills yourself, and you often 'die for your ADC' or later on your team, since it's better if they live and you die than the other way around, but that often ends up making the enemies unintentionally stronger.
So there's this mastery. Enemies gain 6% less gold from killing you, so you can feed without feeding.
It's not supposed to enforce dying, reduced death timers isn't either, but it's rather an insurance that if you die you won't do as much damage.
(And it can keep the name Greed, since the theme fits).
P.s. : Assists on killing you also grant 6% less gold, then.

Malice
This is so people can get the Lifesteal and the Spellvamp, but it also offers Movement Speed when in combat. I think it's a neat little and interesting addition to the Utility Tree, some supports might even take it for the mobility, since it does only cost 2 points.

Safe Haven This is a small little aura that helps supports keep their Marksmen safe, making the higher levels of the Utility Tree more appealing to Supports and Mages, rather than going 21/9/0 Mage-Assassin-Support-Kill-Stealer with only Wardstone as supportitem and more damage than the original Mage lategame.
(I don't think Supports should be play like that).
I know the mastery is strong, but it requires an ally and also spending a lot of points into utility and anyways, while the mastery is strong, the aura isn't.

Scavenger
It's buffed, that's for sure, but it's also in the depths of the Utility Tree.
You will still get ~1 gold from most minions, 2 from Siege Minions, and ~12 more from assists, if you are near the crime scene.
It makes up for the missing GP5 and for Scavenger no longer being further down and for Wealth being initially nerfed.
But it grants supports more gold which they really want.

Patron
It increases the strength of your shields and heals by 10, which is strong in the early game and falls off a bit later.
It's good for supports, who have investing into Utility instead of damage and is a must-have for most supports, imo.

Judgement
This would be the pride of 21 points in utility.
The slow isn't that strong, it isn't, and ranged characters will most likely only proc it twice per trade, but it's still useful for support to keep the enemies from running or getting close to your Marksman. I really can't say as much about it. I hope I can discuss it if you comment.

#Defense Tree

Just one small change I'd like in the Defense Tree for Supports.

Oppression:
Impairing an enemies movement causes them to deal 2% reduced damage for 3 seconds.

That's all. Thank you for reading and I hope you liked my ideas.
And as always : Opinions?,

Jack :D

Change Considerations

• I'm thinking about parting Wealth and Greed, since I a) don't want to force people to waste 3 points in extra starting gold for an effect like Greed, and b) think there are too many bound masteries in my tree overall.
  Currently the utility tree has 4, mine would have 6, which is too many. What do you think?
