My ideas for rewards for Champion Mastery Levels 6-7
The below could be for 6 or 7, that's up to Riot. I'm just jotting down my ideas here.
-
A little version of your mastery emote appears next to your name in the chat box (both in-game AND in the client)
-
A little version of your mastery emote also appears next to your name in the friends list
-
Champion icon, but slightly modified. Maybe give it a purple tinge if you give it as a reward for Rank 6. Or give the icon a blue tinge if you give it as a reward for Rank 7. Or instead of a tinge, you could give it a border that is purple for 6 or blue for 7. Just something that makes it more than just the champion's icon.
-
Your text color in-game is purple if you're Rank 6 with your champion, and blue if you're Rank 7 with your champion. Names will remain colored depending on team orientation; only the chat text color will change.
-
A ward skin of your champion's icon. Bonus: This would not require any 3D modeling. It would only require a 2D face of the champion, making this very easy to implement, which it should be because it's free content. Alternatively, you could make a 3D model of the champion's face for the ward skin, and when placed, it would just slowly rotate in a circle, similar to how powerups/weapons/ammo rotate in Unreal Tournament and Doom.
-
For Rank 6, a free skin that trims the classic skin in purple. Rank 7, trims the classic skin in blue. Alternatively, to reduce the need to work with the textures, you could instead just apply a full shader to the champion. A purple shader for Rank 6, and a blue shader for Rank 7. TO PEOPLE THAT DON'T KNOW WHAT A "SHADER" IS: Imagine Championship Sivir's spellshield, but imagine it outlining the champion instead of being a bubble. That's what a shader is. As you can imagine, they take a fair bit of graphical power to be up constantly. There could be an optional toggle to turn Champion Mastery Shader Skins off.
Your ideas?
