Idea: New Masteries

Kabam has said multiple times that they have no intention of increasing the summoner level cap, the main reason being that they don’t want to give people 10+ additional mastery points. It would allow people to get pretty much every useful mastery in the game.
At the same time, the masteries have been mostly unchanged since they were first introduced. Everyone Uncollected or higher is using one of the same 3 or 4 mastery setups.
The easiest way to change both of these is to add more masteries to the game.
I mean... there are 14 masteries “Coming Soon” in there anyway.
People would finally be able to get passed LV60, and it could spice up the meta.
I’ve got a few random ideas for a few masteries.
