The mastery 7 is great... but there should be more symbols... at 500k mastery, and at 1 mil mastery.

More banner symbols should be achievable, such as one at 500k mastery, and another at 1 million mastery.

I'd like to see a Mastery 8/9/10. I think earning S ranks was cool, but after you learn how to reliably earn one every game (focusing heavily on CSing, warding, and getting tons of kill participation) the mastery system shows it's flaws.

I'll try and find the post I'm talking about, but I talked with another few players about adding a Mastery 8/9/10 with champion specific milestones for each one.

An example would be something like this for Yasuo:

Mastery 8: 'Windwall 10 Ultimate abilities or 4 Ultimate abilities in one game' Mastery 9: 'When in combat with 2 or more enemy champions, escape with one kill or eliminate both champions' Mastery 10: 'Land 2 Ultimates on 3+ enemy champions' or 'Cast Last Breath 12 times in one game'

Obviously I'm not a game developer, but it always sounded like a cool idea and would make hitting higher masteries more personal/rewarding rather than just "get 6 S+ tokens"

Lmao how braindead are the requirements??? I know they're just examples but come on. Might as well just give it for free.

It was just an example, I even said I wasn't a game developer and that it was just an idea.

Yeah, this with way harder goals, like to the point that you have to do insane challenges. I was thinking make them get 50 S+ for level 10, but these outplaying type of challenges are even better. If you had to do those challenges, but 20-30 times then it becomes a true deserved reward.

Idea for a Mastery 10 requirement: Don't be toxic for 10 games in a row. I guarantee almost every Yasuo main will fail.

But in all honesty, Riot will have a hard time creating 3 unique missions for every champion. Which is why i believe that this idea will not be taken into consideration, despite how good it is.

Maybe it doesn't have to be 3 unique missions, maybe it can be based on how consistently you get S for level 8, consistent S+ for level 9, and maybe consistent S+ while above 500K mastery points to get level 10. A nice challenge for anyone.

While this sounds cool, It would take manpower, work hours and more code being added to the game. I don't know that it is worth doing all that. I do agree that the mastery system should be revamped though.

Mastery 8 = 3 S ranks + 500k Mastery points

Mastery 9 = 3 S Ranks + 750k Mastery points

Mastery 10 = 3 S Ranks + 1 million Mastery points

I'm a 2.2 mil

could I option out of publicly showing everybody? I don't feel like getting flamed for not 1v9ing no ty. I get that enough as is it.

Well the mastery score/level isnt quite that skill expressive as the rank so in my opinion it shouldnt be glorified that much with new borders/icons/etc. . But I have to say that re-adding the golden signs with current mastery score on it would be a nice little tweek to make your dedication towards your champion with the highest mastery score/level better visible on the profil.

Made these as a representation for what id like to see. Of course riot could make some tweaks to give it that little add on to make it look more unique. I just like the color schemes on these.

Mastery 7 is pretty much nothing now, considering how easy it is to get. I agree that Riot should expand on the Mastery system, but maybe not with challenges.

500k, 1 million milestone masteries seem much better and they actually convey something, rather than how mastery is right now.

I was literally thinking about making a similar post.

I think if riot made additional requirements for mastery points i.e. lvl 8.. and more , it would entice players to play a normal game with a sense of achievement and not only for learning a new champ or for messing around. Although, I do hope, riot does not put absurd blue essence requirements on the top.

From reading the below suggestions, a good lvl 8 requirement could be 500k mastery point, as mentioned by OP.

Level 9 can have 5 difficult requirement (i.e. tokens to be achieved) , one example could be, 0 death, 70%+ kill participation and obviously a decent cs maybe 7 cs per minute and more. Lvl 10 could be a 1mil mastery.

The reason i kept lvl 9 as 5 requirements and not as 1mil mastery is because, it will take a long time for a person to go from 500k to 1mil mastery since he is already mastered the champ to some extent by that point, so by the time he achieves the requirements for lvl 9, which might take several game, he will have already worked towards his lvl 10 requirement of 1mil mastery. In case he reaches 1mil mastery before he meets those requirements (must be hard) , in that case he remains at lvl 8 and upon achieving lvl 9's requirements, he turns into lvl 10 automatically.

The reason for additional requirement is that , mastery point itself is not an indication of a player that has good macro knowledge but rather micro knowledge. But having specific requirements for each champ i.e. as mentioned by someone that Yasuo should have a requirement of wind-walling 10 ults etc; this i think will stretch the mastery system too much and hence may not even be worth implementing.

Making a player get 500k or 1 mil is just insane and becomes a grindfest. Like 99% of players will never get that far. Just like they do with the victorious skins you want to make it satisfying to get but not so out of reach it dissuades you from trying. It gives you a goal to reach when you start playing a new champion. It's not supposed to cater to OTP. With that being said what they can do is add some kind of prestige system for after you reach mastery 7 you get stars added to your banner that max at 3 or something. Adding an 8th 9th and 10th mastery Isn't necessary
