Mastery Tokens

Soo.... I just need to know if you can get tokens from ARAM. I've been level 5 with Illaoi for a while and got an S with her on ARAM, but didn't get a Token for level 6. I'm just curious if you don't get Tokens on ARAM.

You can only get tokens on a normal game mode that takes place on the rift with the exception of arsr. Would be too easy to farm them on tt or aram

There's little reason to restrict Mastery tokens to only classic SR. One obvious major problem is that the skill and dedication of players on League's other permanent maps doesn't get rewarded.

You can get mastery points on the other maps but. IN MY OPINION i feel like playing good enough to score an S rank on the summoners rift shows true mastery of the champion where as about 60% of the tt players are bots and aram has a bigger part about lucky picks and wombo combos

For one thing, excluding TT players while Riot plays whack-a-mole with bots is a bit unfair to TT enthusiasts. Plus, denying incentives discourages players from learning/playing that game mode, which further skews the human/bot ratio. Secondly, as far as I've heard, there aren't any bots in ranked TT anyway. Finally, lucky picks and wombo combos apply to Blind Pick SR too.

Personally, my main gripe is that Riot's reasoning for tokens being SR-only was that Champ Mastery should require a high standard of competition. However, normal SR games are included, despite Riot repeatedly stressing that normal games are laidback and casual. Furthermore, ranked TT games are excluded, despite always giving the same rewards as ranked SR and Riot constantly emphasizing that ranked games are for serious competition. It just comes across as an illogical way to encourage people to play SR over TT/ARAM.

Only ranked? Fine. Normals as well? Alright. But going halfsies is just strange.
