I still don't understand what suicides are

I've been playing this game for almost 2 years and i still don't understand what suicides are. I see it getting mentioned alot, but it's always done in a way that assumes you already know what it is and how to do it, i've never been able to find a video or a post explaining what suicides are and how it's done like in a basic tutorial.

Please explain like i'm 5 years old.

What is it?
How do you use it?
Does it only apply to certain champs and/or synergies?

Suicides are when you kill yourself, according to Wikipedia. They are very dark so being a 5 yr old, stay away from the word

They are a mastery setup where you get +60% attack bonus, but lose life in several ways. It's often used by heavy arena grinders as it ends fights faster.

It also requires lots of units to buy the mastery cores to unlock it all. You have to dedicate your mastery points with very little, if any, to spare elsewhere. For example, if you run MD with your mystics, you won't have enough mastery points to run full suicides.

You lose life by taking poison damage for the entire fight (is offset by the defense mastery of willpower). You lose life by bleed damage (some lessen this by coagulate mastery). And you take damage equal to 5% of health Everytime you use a sp1 or sp2.

The circles masteries are the main masteries used for suicides.

@disturbedgenius it isn't only for arena grinders. Some champs, like Diablo, Corvus, Omega Red, etc., are objectively better with suicides. I run suicides and I am a casual arena grinder. It just depends on your roster and what you want. Do some research on different mastery setups. Whether or not you decide to run suicides you need to have a plan for your materies or you will be at a disadvantage.
