Perhaps making this one attainable by winning 5 - 6 games on that champion in a row with a score of A or higher and having to receive at least 1 honor from a non-premade teammate? No cheating or giving someone level 8 for no reason, and maybe making limited edition icons for champions that could be rolled out over time? Seems like a nice reward :)
Mastery 8 should be based off your champ stats in the stats page in client (you know the broken one that riot stealth disabled on TFT release?) compared to others using the same champ. In short, not a single game OR cumulative accomplishment, but a "Statistically I'm literally one of the best at this champion" thing.
I feel higher mastery should be a singleplayer challenge. I got my 2 level 6 thresh tokens from playing pre with an adc who certainly carried my through one game. Atm getting an S is partly team based, impossible having a good score when your team ints, if your team carried you can tag along for a free S.
A singleplayer mode would make sure it is true skill on the champion rather than luck
A set of tests for each champ to do, testing mechanics and champion knowledge. Example for a jungler would be 10+ kills/assists in 10 minutes while having jungle cleared with some invading.
Or for a support like thresh, getting x assists against enemies with different dodging patterns in different scenarios throughout a "game"
This thread and comments are all unreasonable lvl 8? First WHY second they used 1 system and for lvl 8 they should completely change it? I dont think so, and also what u are saying is so weird its stupid A rank in 6 straight games with atleast 1 honor? If its with honor it doesnt depend on Your skill anymore it depends on ur teammates, and if u pre ur friend can just honor you, second to get lvl 7 u need atleast S rank but now all the way down to A? If ur team or ur pre friend can just carry you and give u some kills then u get A rank, and if u team feeds? Then they feed and its still isnt based on YOUR skill and winning 6 STRAIGHT games??? Why straight why not just 6 games with S+ Ranking???? Your idea has so many holes that it feels like 14000 worms live in the same apple... oh and my idea u ask? Well masters 8 is based on if ur the best with that Champion in ur rank lets say that if u play in bronze if ur the best yasuo player in bronze u Will get this masters lvl 8, but if someone Takes ur place then u Will switch it u Will no longer have masters 8 but he Will, in short the person with best scores with that Champion in that rank Will have the lvl 8 mastery to show off IM the best yasuo player in bronze... look out for me!
