There is no reason for why I need to pay 500/600 Blue Essence to unlock Masterys 6 & 7

I guarantee you 100% Riot that you cannot come up with actually legit reason why its even tied to Hextech Crafting. Hextech crafting in NO Way has anything to do with being skilled at a champion. Literally none, nada, not one bit.

So why did you make it a requirement? The ONLY reason you could have for it , is just for people that have all champions to be able to use their champion shards for something, but if thats the case, then that is the most bullshit thing I've ever seen Riot do.

I've never taken Riot for being a greedy business, they introduced a system to get free cosmetics on top of their already free game, but I'm really questioning that now when you release a system where you must pay RP or IP , to unlock something that shows your skill on a champion. I shouldn't have to waste my hard earned IP that already is given at a terrible rate, to show that I'm better at a champion. (OR money)

So please tell me, why the hell does Hextech Crafting have anything to do with mastery? All I see is greed (Waste IP on shards, force people to have to buy champions with RP since they have no IP or vice versa = more money)
