First off, trying to post this from my phone, so apologies for typos or errors.

There are a few people talking about gold cost for masteries, but I haven't seen a real list. Plus, I expect quite a few people don't fully understand the concept. So below is a quick explanation and the basic stats for most masteries. Masteries listed as N/A or ?? mean that either there isn't a good comparison, value is too variable, or I simply didn't want to do the math.

If any mathcrafters have suggestions or see an error, let me know.

Explanation: The simplest way to look at the value of the masteries is with replacement/opportunity cost. The idea being that if you do not take mastery X, what would it cost you in the game to make up for that stat (assuming you want it). An example: Say that I know I want AD on my champion. In game, the simplest/easiest direct way to get the stat is a long sword. 10 AD, 415 gold. This means that each point of AD is worth 41.5 gold. So each point in the Brute Force (+1AD) is equivalently worth 41.5 gold. Yes, there are more efficient purchases later in the game, but we are looking for direct comparisons when possible.

Stats with ** mean they had to be derived from an item with more than 1 stat, but this is still the most direct source that I can find and still calculates. Some stats can't be derived at all.

Stats with ^^ mean they were derived from replacing the mastery benefit with runes. This is... fuzzy math at best.

Offense:
T1 Summoner's Wrath: N/A
T1 Brute Force (+1/2/3 Attack Damage): 41.5g/pt
T1 Mental Force (+1/2/3/4 Ability Power): 21.75g/pt

It´s misleading though since you spend mastery points on them, not gold. On top of that the Tier structure means that a given mastery only competes with equal and lower tiered mastery points, never higher ones.

@ above: it´s a bug in the display, not the stat allocation unfortunately. You can´t cheat yourself better stats ingame, illegal points are threated as unspend.

I almost dont have the energy for this new season T_T gotta figure out all this shit

jungle tryndamere is incredibly strong now, along with most of the junglers that favored offensive trees: pirate, lee sin, ww, kinda trundle, kinda noc, kinda udyr.

for champs that need 6, like noc or ww, I'm getting it like almost 45 seconds faster with the bolstered neutral xp and mastery buffs. this is also with mostly old school rune setups, but I'm replacing previously needed arm/pen and armor with things like atk spd and dodge.

times are still mostly hindered by small camp respawn timers.

pretty sure you can jungle on whoever the fuck you want now. this is so much fucking work T_______T I've probably made 50 customs by now.

Why do you bother making customs? Everyone gets the same talents so everyones going to get a similar enough benefit but obviously the weaker ones and the ones relying less on magic damage are going to do better. Just play games and have fun.

wut? there has been a big change to neutral experience and damage outputs and runes roles. This leads to altered jungle routes which I'm trying to figure out. Champions that previously relied on sustained routes (using stonewall terminology cuz its most accurate) by doing small camps starting wolves then shopping before blue, may now be able to do a manlier route like ww by starting mini gol and small camping all the way through blue, and either shopping if needed or heading back to small gols after.

this is why i custom. new mastery tree is incredibly game changing, in addition to the other patch fixes.

edit: not to say I'm not having fun doing this, it's just a lot of work but exciting to find new routes at the same time. adds new life to literally every jungler.

It's only misleading if you value the masteries by thinking this is the only method, which no one should (and you obviously don't). However it's still a valid argument to gauge the relative value of an attribute and assist people in choosing masteries.

As for mastery points valued as gold, that's not misleading. Again, the value is in replacement/opportunity cost. If I don't take AD in my masteries but I know I'll need it in game, well how am I eventually going to get that AD? Gold. If I took something other than AD but have a goal to hit X AD, well then how far back did I just set myself? ~120 gold if I skipped brute force. Was what I took instead worth it? Well now I have a chart to help me consider such a thing...
