Mastery points and unlimited level cap has made my life hell.

Dear Mr. Riot mens

I know you do many things to keep the game interesting. Events with missions, map overlay, new champions, new skins and many other things, and thank you for that, you guys and girls are awesome.

Lately though you implemented public showing of mastery points and summoner level and since then the game I enjoy playing has become hell. I do not fool myself by thinking that I am a better player then I am, I know my skill level is in the Bronze/Iron division, and I am fine with that. I play mainly only one champion and I am fine with that too. The issue that comes from that is that I accumulate a lot of mastery points and simply playing the game my summoner level also increase.

Back in the day when there was only level 30 and no mastery points I could just say "yes I know and I am fine with it" when people started to talk about how bad I was in game and then that was usually it. Now people starts to non stop taunt with "omg that many mastery points and you suck that bad" "omg that level and you still in Bronze" "get a life you bad no life player" and there is nothing I can do about it. Yes I can mute them in game, and I do, but it continue in post chat in a way that makes the game a really unpleasant experience. My block list is full so I can't even block them any more. Sometimes it even cross the border of harassment and honestly I am starting to get a little sick of it.

I just wanna play the game, pass time and have fun and the public point system starts to make that impossible for me. If it is not possible to remove the point system then at least make it possible to be private. Both ingame and for every stats snitching website on the internet.

Report them, the problem is not mastery points or levels, the problem is the people harassing you.

The best thing you can do is report people or use /mute all at the start of a game.

Unfortunatly alot of people forget that LoL is just a game and use it to belittle people.

I’m a Talon OTP with around 900k points overall and I int my ass off in norms or ranked. My key to staying chill? The moment some idiot mentions it I just mute them and move on. Just a little toxicity and I mute them. Solves a lot of issues and prevents me from tilting.

Well ,there are a ton of heroes. If you can't seem to figure out how to use the ones you have the most time on well, maybe try using other heroes you don't have high mastery on. The mastery system isn't anything new, it's been around for many years, as you frequently would see guys flexing their epeen by spamming the mastery emote in games. Alternatively, if you are just a really bad player and keep dragging your teams down, maybe you could stick to ARAM where mastery doesn't mean much?

I feel that bro :'( In Eve Online (space game, you fly around in a ship and fight other nerds in ships) there's a site called zKill and it has your entire kill history, and when I was new to the game I lost a very expensive ship called a Paladin (If you play eve you'll know that took a lot of skill injecting...), it was fitted really stupidly with really expensive gear and I died in a really dumb way

Everyone that looks at my fkin zKill grills me about it without fail, just joking around and then someone in call goes wait WTF IS THIS UR FIRST LOSS WAS A PALADIN IN PERIMETER LOOOL...

Jokes on them bc now I play albion online ^.>

may i ask why you still bother playing ranked then? The only people i encounter in normals who ever pull the rank card are plat players. and overall they're often not even there.

if you genuinly are fine with not being a great player and just wanna have fun, normals will probably be alot more pleasant.

as for mastery points, i don't always do well on my highest mastery and haven't really gotten any shit for it. And while 355k isn't close to 1.4m it's still often the highest mastery score in my games.
