Diamond skins without mastery X?

[GreenHouse!]

I just found someone with a diamond skin and he has no mastery. How? Why? Makes no sense:

Pretty easy .. they have loading screen stats turned off.

There is an option to hide satas on your loading frame.

I know that you can hide stats, but what's the point of hiding the mastery?

Hiding stats hides every stat-related thing on the loading screen, including Masteries, because some people like to give others a hard-time if they don't have enough mastery levels on a certain god that they are playing. So if you are hiding stats, it makes sense for masteries too so trolls can't just be like, "Of course they suck at Kumbha, they only have them at Mastery I" or "Why are you so bad when you're a Mastery X?"... Some people just like to hide their stats and use a non-mastery skin so they don't have to feel pressured to perform amazingly just to avoid people giving them a hard time about their mastery.

But yes, it's partially pointless when you're using a Mastery skin anyway, but lots of people hide stats for when they are playing their lesser-used gods, then will decide to go with their most-used god when they can't play the one they're trying to learn.

Or potentially because they DID get Diamond on that god, but did it back when they were brand-new and so they actually have crappy stats on that god despite it all and don't want people giving them a hard time about "You're Diamond but you have less than 100 wins?", so they do it because they like the Diamond skin or the attention or intimidation factor of having a Diamond skin, but don't actually want to show off their actual stats for criticism...

Basically, it all still comes down to mastery isn't everything and doesn't predict skill or individual performance in a particular match, it just means you've spent a lot of time on the god. So there are positive (wanted to play a different god, but went with a comfort pick instead) or negative (actually still have crappy stats) reasons to hide your stats and still pick a mastery skin, and people can hide their stats and still choose to use the mastery skin because it doesn't actually matter that much...

Ok, makes sense. Solved then.
