Yeah maybe a new setup on the Masteries or a new order.
The Merciless mastery is in the second tree and its kinda annoying as you need points to get it.
If I played Top the Merciless mastery is a must have for my play style but to get it I will need either
A. Runic Affinity- As Top no jungler gives buffs to a Top and when your top for the most part your going to die for the team so its a meh mastery for me. Also doesn't have that in solo Q its rare that the jungler gives buffs to me when I play mid so again its a meh mastery unless you play in a group.
B. Secret Stash- Ok a better mastery but the way that League is going Riot wants to pretty much eliminate any type of sustain from the game nerfing Potions, Healing, Regen Items, Flasks, the Secret Stash mastery itself or just straight up removing those items from the game.
C. Assassin- The game is pretty much on a 20 min time limit before everyone groups or a 2 kill enemy team advantage is snowballed into a win. So unless you go ham in the first 2 mins the Assassin mastery is ok but I don't really take it.
Overall I don't care much for the Mastery system, I also miss the option to have the Flask and potions as I play for Late game and really focus on farming. Its hard to do that when the towers are garbage, everyone groups and can't ever hold off a 4v5 for 3 secs, and the game is over by the 20 min mark.
