Why should I be prevented from getting Mastery 6/7 because I lack essence or a LUCK-BASED shard?

Maybe if keys and chests dropped/became available more often I'd be okay with this but honestly, why do you need essence for Champion Mastery? Like, how does that make sense? This shouldn't feel like some kind of minigame where you're thinkin "Oo I wonder if I'll get the champion shard I need this time."

That's not exciting. That's inconvenient.

Let me earn a champion's mastery by playing that champion. I don't want to be forced to buy luck-based chests to show something that should solely be earned.

Because Mastery 6/7 doesnt do anything. The only purpose of it is to show that you play a certain champion enough that you took the time to grind the blue essence to get it

The underlying purpose is to show that you're proficient with the champion because you can achieve S grades. But sadly it has become more about the crafting part than the actual mastery.

Not really. You can get it just by grinding enough and eventually do well a few games. Showing proficiency at a champion would be keeping an average of the grades you get. The way its currently set up you can play 1000 games on a champ and only get a few S grades to get the mastery

TBH getting just 2 s- for mastery 6? and then just S for the next one? :X its kinda to 'easy' i would have hoped for a bigger challenge (like get 5 or 10 s ranks but no need for stupid blue crap)

I doubt its actually luck based seeing as riot manipulates luck on alot of things.

they are adding a champion shard you can buy in the shop for ip (kinda like a mystery champion shard box i think?) which will also add another ip sink for ppl that have way too much of it
