Mastery level price increase [RANT&POLL]

So with the new, far less rewarding system mastery prices also increased by far. Level 6 is 3500 BE. Level 7 isn't much better. Riot stated before that they don't want to make the price costly because the process should be self-rewarding. Now they spat up and stood beneath it with the newest change. Grinding out the BE is harder than grinding out the tokens now. [sg-lux-2] Since you need 3 levels for 3500 essences which requires 36 games on average and If you don't suck at the champion you supposed to get an S- or better in every 10 games of spamming them. You need to farm more for BE than tokens until you reach your desired mastery level.

So what's the point of using IP or BE for this self-rewarding system and what's the point of making it cost more than a 3150 champion (khmm.. ..so forth) or almost as much as 2 chroma skins? [sg-zephyr] Clearly, the person who came up with it was obsessed with putting a price tag on everything even if you rob the player of time instead of money. You get nothing out of it, there's no balance reason behind it and we suffer for it.
