How in the FUCK does the mastery algorithm work?

Kneejerk post incoming.

I just played one of the BEST Ekko Jungle games I have ever played.

AP Ekko, because tank Ekko is for wimps.

Here are some stats: -2/1/7 in a 26-minute game. -Every dragon secured. -Rift Herald secured. -Got every scuttle crab but one. On both sides. -Farmed the enemy jungle harder than my own. -4 pink wards planted. -3rd highest damage in the game, after our Zed and Maokai (who got the Herald buff) and above our Twitch and the entire enemy team. -Landed something like 95% of my stuns. One of my stuns gave Zed a triple kill. It was 2v3.

I got a C+ mastery score.

Was it my low creep score (because I was busy ganking and securing objectives, not farming jungle)? Was it my high tower damage taken (because my shield and ult make me ideal for initiating tower dives)? Was it the fact that I spammed my Mastery 5 emote after my single death (which happened because I accidentally walked into the entire enemy team like a moron)?

I would be less mad if I understood what I had done wrong, but the mastery score system is so opaque that I can't even use it to learn to play better.

REWORK MASTERY SCORES PLEASE.

EDIT FOR DOWNVOTES: Yes, because the fact that this is a kneejerk post totally negates the validity of my point

Do remember that you're being compared to other Ekko players at your rank. Also, you're possibly at least partially being compared to lane Ekkos, since jungle Ekko likely isn't popular enough to have a large enough sample size at your rank to compare you to.

Knowing that, let's get to the stats. Considering you're the jungler, <50% kill participation is actually really bad. 64 CS in 26 minutes is also below average, and if the system actually is comparing you to lane Ekkos, then the system believes that your 64 CS in 26 minutes is absolutely garbage. Furthermore, your damage dealt to champions is fairly low for that much of a lead at 26 minutes, meaning your score was lowered even more.

Your team was already 4k ahead at 11 minutes, and 7k at 20, 3 towers isn't all that much. A more competent team likely could have pushed a lot harder and pushed down many more towers with that large of a lead. 2 dragons in 26 minutes with a constant gold lead (i.e. minimal contest) is only average, since nowadays dragons can be taken very early, and its spawn time is low enough to squeeze in more.

That KDA is not good enough, let alone your CS. Ekko is a very strong pick, and very contested. There are tons of people that get way better than that by the 26 mark. More than tons.

did you win the match?

Its also based on the average of that elo. That score is very unimpressive considering that you faced an all Bronze 4 team. The average player in your elo as Ekko would have done way better.

That's a brutal grade for securing tons of objectives and that score line.

You had less than 50% kill participation. I don't jungle so I can't comment on adequate cs for that length of game. Your team did under ward compared to enemy team. From what i'm seeing it's the KDA. Btw, you only placed 3 pink wards, not 4.

if you look at the damage taken, you ended up tanking a lot of damage compared to the damage you outputted. If you were playing assassin Ekko your damage should be enough to 100 to 0 your opponent before they can retaliate.
