Mastery Tokens

Could we -please- get mastery tokens outside of Summoner's Rift? Just because it's ARAM or Treeline, doesn't necessarily mean that it's easier to get an S than on Rift. Some champs it still seems almost impossible to S on ARAM for instance, but it doesn't count for much it feels like when you do.

They should've never been restricted to SR. The argument that "modes that aren't SR don't take skill to get tokens" is moot simply because champion mastery doesn't denote skill. How many times have you seen a mastery level 7 Yasuo play like they just picked up the champ for the first time? Hell, I'm nearly level 4 with Lee and I'm still pretty bad at him.

Restricting Mastery tokens by map is still a weirdly blatant example of Riot promoting Summoner's Rift at the expense of League's other game modes. What should just be a neat little bonus feature for League of Legends players has been twisted into an exclusive feature for SR players. The official reasoning of "high competitive standards" completely falls apart with Normal SR having tokens, but not Ranked Twisted Treeline. So Ranked TT is competitive enough for players to earn ranked rewards, including limited-edition physical merchandise, but not competitive enough for Mastery tokens. Meanwhile, Normal SR is competitive enough for tokens, but not ranked rewards.

If Riot wants to stick with the "competitive standard" explanation, then Mastery tokens should only be available in Ranked queues (and possibly Clash). On the other hand, if tokens remain available in Normal SR, then tokens should just be available everywhere. The current situation of half-casual and half-competitive is simply ridiculous.

At Aram you know people actually use bots to boost their accounts right? (riot says there arent any, anymore but thats cr_ap) These people not only get to lvl 30 for 5 bucks or even for free. Now you want those players getting free lvl 5 masteries as well?

And for twisted treeline....yeah.... I am just wondering when they are gona remove it like they did to domination.
