I know, I know. Mastery posts were supposed to be posted last night. Unfortunately that power outage and subsequent power supply failure really hamstringed my ability to get into League of Legends for a little comparison and discussion. But fear not! I’ve spent today gathering my thoughts and putting together what was originally a very long post about the masteries and has since turned into three separate posts, one for each tree.
How are you guys liking the new masteries? At first I was overwhelmed, mostly because it seemed like there were so many good options for so many different builds. Granted, masteries don’t do a lot with each individual point, but drop 30 points in those bad boys and they actually make a serious contribution. After my initial shock, I started to find some builds that worked for me, though some were a little limited in scope.
I think the new Summoner spells help a lot. It’s nice to have a couple more viable options to support some different playstyles. I’ve already rocked a game with Teemo using Surge. I’ve also relied on Cleanse while playing Tryndamere. This patch has done more to get me interested in playing LoL than any patch in recent memory.
What do you think so far? I’ll have my full impressions in 3 separate posts tomorrow.
