Masteries - Ghostcrawler is bad.

Ghostcrawler, you strike again!

WoW goes from massive and interesting "masteries" to faulted dumbed down version via Ghostcrawler. Riot hires Ghostcrawler. Next season, LoL does the same... [zombie-brand-facepalm]

GC is one of the walking cancers of the game industry. He preys on stable games and applies his touch of "simplification" and "clarity" to things as he passes through, leaving dust and scraps in his wake.

That was brilliantly and accurately written.

Not like League was awfully complicated to begin with...

Are we going to keep pretending that the old masteries were fine? You know, the ones Riot keeps changing every year because it's so static

I'm not sure static is an issue. It's just how they rotate who is OP I suppose. Burst Meta Incoming.

the new mastery stystem itself is actually more interesting than before. instead of a 21/9 point distribution in almost all cases, you have 18/6/6 or 18/12 now. thats not much of a big change.

the biggest change is probably that forces you to make choices.

however some of the masteries themselves are debatable. deathfire touch is just awkward, as its really strong on certain casters and barely there on most others.

i also dont understand why 2 of the 3 offensive keystones are designed around auto attackers when casters are much more diverse. why not make one that boosts auto attacks, one for ad casters, and a good one for all ap casters?

and warlords bloodlust is plain broken.

didn't WoW admit they fucked up and revert the mastery changes in a different expansion? if so maybe we will get lucky and riot will follow them again and nxt year we might get our masteries back.
