Conformity in League of Legends

Dear Riot,

Inspiration, Sorcery, Precision, Domination (kinky), Resolve...These are the 5 options I have to pick to define my champions and..to..define...myself? Yes, I realize they're sort of customizable, but where are the options, man? This feels like a downgrade. Like we all went from college back to high school, and now instead of exploring every part of myself as a player I have to pick whether I want to be student gov (Inspiration), a jock (Resolve), a band player (Precision), a geek (Sorcery), or a goth (Domination, obvi). I feel superficial every time I click between these classes. It's like I'm playing against a mirror of myself every game. Another shazaam94 staring right back at me. "Oh, you got lethal tempo".."Yeah"..."Same" .. "Cool". The painter's brush has been snapped, the writer's pen dried up, the wizard's wand turned into a dildo. In a society filled now more than ever with norms, picking sides, and fewer accepted ideologies I took refuge in the fact I could play a champion consisting of many different characteristics. I can't now, and that makes me sad. I realize it was messy before, but isn't life messy? Aren't we all unique in our own way? Shouldn't we have the right to choose many different facets?

Thanks for listening.

Respectfully, shazaam94

I kind of agree with someone I saw in a thread that seems to have disappeared that this preseason seems like it was meant for the C.O.D. kids.

I concur, these reworked masteries are so inflexible; always having to pick 1 of 3 options, when one of them is almost never worth using.
