You like Runic Armor?? The 50 health shield is a let down to be honest. It would be better if they either made is scale off your max health... Or get the 50 health shield every time you stand on the fountain. Because late game it does nothing and it becomes an early game MEH mastery.

Oppression will be key on some champions that have lots of slows, take or  as example. The former will be able to pretty much take reduced damage from an entire team when you lead with stun and follow up with the permaslow. While the latter will not only have a big movement slow and attack speed slow but also taking reduced damage for better dueling. Even Mundo, Shen and Amumu like this mastery, when building Rylais.

Perseverence... Let's see, 3k health, missing 90% of it. Oh look 83.05 HP/5 or 16.6 health per second, not even counting your own regeneration, thats more health regeneration then the health shield will block in 3 seconds.

Second Wind... Wait, you think getting 10% more life steal, health regen and healing from skills is not worth the points? Your sustain becomes more effective when you are near death, this is a fucking life saver! O.o

Tenacity was too easy to come by in the early mastery tree. Going 15/15/0 was an option for champions like. For a stat that counters a lot of core kits out there, it was too available, I agree with this change. And you don't have to take it at all, if you don't want it, then don't invest the 21 points, Problem?

Reinforced armor and Evasive are pretty much the same set up. Conditional to who you face. If you see an Ashe you can be damned sure she is going to build Critical Strike, Same for when you see Gragas, you just know there's gonna be AoE Magic Damage. But when you see Leblanc, or Corki, that pretty much means that yer gonna be pretty safe in that regard and you can invest points in something else instead.

The new masteries are a LOT STRONGER then you give them credit for... Heck You only even seem to like the ones that are utterly useless to me... Come on, you prefer 50 health shield that only respawns when you die, over potentially 100 HP/5. AND a maximum of 20 armor and 10 Magic resist over 3% damage reduction as long as you itemize for it... I do not get you AT ALL.
