I actually didn't know that mogwai was smash until now.

I read your thread and agree with almost all of it. Utility went from almost always atleast getting 9 in it... to never using it unless you are support or if you want the 20% buff duration or need even more movespeed (Udyr). Scout could be a cool perk, but 5% isn't substantial enough for anyone to consider it. Expanded mind isn't that useful to many people except Ryze and should only be used to get to meditation. Awareness is to far down the tree for any jungler to want to get (unless a whole team gets it and trolls with zilean and exp quints). CDR from intelligence is easier to get from the other trees while still having useful points in the other trees. Sage is laughable though.

I'm expecting a buff to the utility tree or we are only going to see it on few champions. Ryze for mana/mana regen, some junglers for the 20% buff duration and obviously supports.

Does anyone else feel like transmutation should be in the offensive tree T4 next to vampirism?

Also wanted to state that Ryze seems to have a ton of options, his build allows for tankyness so going down different trees with something like:

Sorry if this was too much, I like champions who can dish out decent damage while taking some aswell. (Udyr, Ryze, Nasus, etc) Just wanted to get others thoughts.

Edit: Also, I still don't know the exact cost efficiency on the trees so I filled them in with what I thought was decent. Tell me if you think any of them are horrible or how I should change them.
