Lvl 1 Utility Masteries for mana-less champs in ARAM

Currently the Utility Masteries for Champs at Level 1 in ARAM are:

-Phasewalker (Completely useless) -Fleet of Foot -Meditation -Scout (Completely useless)

Since there is no Recall in ARAM and Trinket items do not exist, the noted Masteries above are useless for any champs that put points into them. The remaining two masteries are both usable, though Meditation is often referred to as a "noobish" mastery as it suggest an inability to manage your champion's manapool. Level two Utility Masteries then include:

-Summoner's Insight (The most important one) -Alchemist -Strength of Spirit

While Fleet of Foot is generally useful on any champion, Meditation is only useful on champs with Mana, which excludes mana-less champions, such as Garen and Katarina, as well as energy champions, such as Lee Sin and Zed, from spending any more points usefully at level 1. However, with Summoner's Insight only a point away from being reachable, it seems unfair that these champs have to waste a point that many other champs do not in order to get there (waste in the fact that other champs can at least use the mana regeneration even if they don't really care all that much about it, while for these it's another completely useless mastery point allocation).

In order to correct this, could an additional point allocation for Fleet of Foot be created (increasing the movement speed buff to 2% on the 4th point allocation, in line with the previous .5% increase per point it is now)? If that's somehow not a possibility, then could Scout be moved to level 2 and another map universal mastery be made to allow all champs to allocate points usefully?
