Ideas Regarding Champion Mastery

Now, champion mastery is great and all, but I'm honestly pretty disappointed. A lot more can be done with this, and its really pretty simple little things too. First, I think its a little weird that all of the rewards you get through champ mastery are gotten at tier 4, and don't differ from tier 5, that could be more evenly dispersed throughout the ranks. Additionally, I think that at tier 3 you should unlock a new summoner icon, which would simply be of the champion you have attained that rank with. They wouldn't even have to make new icons, just reuse the faces from champ select. Some may argue this would clutter up the icons section once you've mastered too many champs but they could add a new tab under the icons dropdown menu that houses only champion icons attained through champion mastery, while all your other icons remain in a separate tab. I also believe Riot should create a collection of high quality skins, one for each champion. Each skin would only become available for purchase once you have attained tier 5 with that champion. And yes, you would still have to buy these skins, but it would be the prestige of being able to buy them and if Riot does it right, then the skins would be super badass and you wouldn't mind buying them.

In addition to those things that I think should be added, I think some things need to be changed.. The most obvious one is that Riot told us the amount of points you get towards your mastery is directly related to the rank you achieve, S being the highest should grant the most points and D being the lowest should grant the least. However, you get significantly less points for losing the game than if you win, which is frustrating because you can perform well with your champion and not win the game. I also noticed that when queuing with a duo partner or a group of friends, everyone receives the EXACT same amount of champion mastery points, regardless of how good or bad individuals did. For instance, my friend carried our sorry asses as Rengar and received an S rating, and while i only got a B+ and had a much worse KDA, i still got exactly the same number of points for champion mastery as he did, as did the rest of the people in our party. Not sure why it does this, as it really takes the "points are awarded based on performance" thing away.. but anyway, if you have anything to add feel free to post, and let me know if you agree with what I've said so far. Have a good one, and good luck "mastering" your champions!
