Did no one test the new masteries before they were released?

Why did you let people like Brand so easily abuse DFT? Why did you let people like Heimerdinger be able to proc Thunderlord's with a single ability? Why do Azir soldier AAs proc DFT, but Heimerdinger turrets only proc it on their lasers? Who thought that nerfing Fervor of Battle to make it near impossible to use decently was a good idea while leaving the other ones fine? Who thought giving someone who builds hp a damage source based on their max hp and heals them only a 4 second CD was a good idea?

In fact who thought that putting so much into masteries was a good idea in the first place? Why did we go from something that didn't really matter, to something that makes or breaks a lane? It's essentially adding 9 new items to the game. Where you pick and choose from the best, the worst, and the average where nothing has a real choice. If you are manaless why would you ever take biscuits? If you are an assassin why would you ever take a MS boost over the extra ability of damage. If you are playing ADC why would you ever take fervor over thunderlords? Why would you ever take Strength of the Ages over the other 2?

Why is the middle tree so damn all over the place (it's like support/damage/jungler)? Why is the left tree pure damage then the right tree tank/support/jungle?

This is almost as poorly thought out as the warding changes which we all know the problems of that (unless you are one of the noobs who never warded to begin with and had to be told to upgrade your trinket or to use it). I know this is kind of late, but I mean the point is still pretty valid.

It does feel likes Riots balance team has been slacking a bit.This sort of T-lords bullcrap is making the game pretty unfun to play . Not Only that but why are roles being tackled one at a time instead of singling out certain champs to work on.(Am i really going to have to wait for Juggernaut update#2 to see Yorick get some love?). Honestly I would like some more transparency on what the balance team is doing. So far all we know is that theyre going to release another assassin item for testing (as opposed to simply updating the more problematic ones like Rengar ). These random short-sighted changes are pretty annoying and seem to be hit or miss. Are we really expected to believe that almost all of Riots balancing staff are working on Shen/ Taric and its taking them this long? I honestly expect faster updates from a multi-million dollar company.

people did many complained said especially thunderlords is op do they listen no company sold game is at a turning point so far its down hill less champions are viable at any one time. As mater of fact I truly feel if they ever did get to a wide open meta did a poll had 99 % like rate they would change everything just to make it garbage like its been going!

theyre fine imo fervor just needs a buff and stormraiders needs to be changed.

Another one is the one that gives HP and stuff for tanks. It's just really awkward. Why take that over Tankiness and soaking or sustain and damage? The crit one may need to be toned down (maybe a 3s CD instead of 2s).
