Is Riot planning to add champion mastery 8?

I'm asking because I've collected a good amount of shards of champions with whom I've already unlocked mastery 7 and now I don't know whether I should disenchant them or not.

They would probably tag it with a 10k BE cost though.

Would make sense. One mastery for s-, one for s, one for s+

NO, NO S+ MISSIONS. Good lord, it is aids getting an S half the time S+ would be a nightmare.

EXACTLY! It'd make that M8 emote THAT much more tilting

SkorchNov 28, 20171 votes

Itd tilt me aftergame not getting it going 30/1 100x more than seeing someone else with it imo

Work on your cs, heh

It's a nightmare to even get S's, no matter how much cs and kills you get, like the game wants you to be everywhere the action happens.. so no fudge that.

So you mean to say, that in order to get a grade suggesting you played your champion near to its highest potential, you don't want to ACTUALLY have to play the champ near its highest potential? Huh

I mean I guess you can look at it that way, but regarding the rest of the community they probably want the mastery asap and so they think about it every match rather than just focusing on matches per normal in a calm manner.. They want the new lvl mastery and they want it now, y'know what I mean? I'm actually okay for this idea but not sure about the rest.

Screw eight! Lets skip to nine lol

Automated RivenNov 29, 20171 votes

Nah man. Seven ate nine.

Yes, in the past they have said they want to go beyond 7 and beyond even 10, but the timeline on that is very hazy, as they only seem to work on the mastery system every so often.

Hopefully some time in 2018 we'll get some more.

wait, really?

I don't have a source, so I can't really commit to saying this is all 100% true, but I can say they want to go beyond level 7, but they want to come up with better rewards for doing that, plus they need the time to develop that sort of thing and with pre-season right now I wouldn't expect it any time soon.

Probably expect some messaging from Riot about this next year. In fact, I'd even give Meddler a poke in one of his threads; I'd bet he'd be willing to comment just a bit (since I don't think that's his area, but he can probably say who does work on it and maybe some over-all plans)

I feel Riot should take a page from the new player leveling system and uncap champion mastery as well. The current barriers to the upper echelons are unnecessary and don't really feel entirely attached to skill or experience at that champion, and the titles associated with each rank don't really mean much either.
