Late last night, Guinsoo tweeted that a “sneaky new feature” might make the patch. I thought it might be something small and simple but instead we got a long-awaited feature. Today’s patch included multiple mastery pages.
The system is simple enough – you save your masteries by creating a custom title for your page and then adding as many pages as you like, up to 10. In case anyone is wondering, the feature is free. Nope, doesn’t even cost IP.
Ten pages is a crazy amount of diversity for the current mastery system. I’m hoping that means we’ll get to see some improvements to what’s currently there. I actually think I’m only using eight, and that includes some redundancy for minor changes, like four percent attack speed instead of six armor penetration.
It’s kind of hilarious, but not knowing that this was on the way made me really happy when it was actually implemented. I really hope Riot keeps that up in the future. Granted, we’re waiting on a lot of improvements, to both the game and the PvP.net client, but little surprises here and there are much more enjoyable than the long wait for “incoming” features.
