Champion "mastery" is mastery only by name now.

So, if you want to increase mastery on a champion you have to almost exclusively play other champions in order to unlock chests. Let me repeat thT - if you are trying to increase a champion's mastery rank you need to play anyone BUT that champion... or shell out real money.

Yes, I understand that they wanted to give people who own all champions something to spend shards on - but why in the love of God did it have to be mastery system? What's the point of champion mastery if it has near zero connection to actually playing that champion? Mastery ranks 6 & 7 aren't even worth of being called that. Grinder rank 6-7 or Spender rank 6-7 would be more appropriate.

Mastery should be a sense of accomplishment, not 20% actually playing a champion and 80% grind/pay/luck of the draw. What's next? Moving up to any division above Silver 5 requiring X blue essence? Because that's basically same shit: tying something that should be earned through play to a defective crafting system.

Masteries mean nothing anyways. Any idiot with a little time can get a mastery even feeding every game.

Exactly.

I feel that Mastery points should be awarded by how WELL you play your character, win or lose. Cap for points per match should be 500. With the way the system works now, players with utterly NO SKILL using say Master Yi or Ryze with a lvl 5 badge...play them with literally no idea wtf to do with them or how to build around the character kits PROPERLY.

I've played ryze a few times, and I know how to utilize his skills PROPERLY...but building his gear, is difficult...mainly due to your team's current situation, be it winning or losing.

I see most ML5 Yi's build as Tanks and have literally ZERO damage or they focused on their AP for the healing...excuse me...isn't Yi supposed to be a hard hitting Bruiser? TF are you building AP and Tank Gear for? (To each their own, yes...but a yi with no "poke" potential is utterly useless late game, even IF they're the jg...)

I could say the same about AP assassins...they forget, they're assassins...meant to DRIVE the damage, and take out the "runners" quickly and efficiently.

I could go on and on and on...but everyone has their opinions and mine is no different from anyone else's.

So you want some sort of wins from 1v1 or duo (for supports) against high skilled players to gain mastery points for each champion?

You have to have an S- rank for Mastery6 or S rank and higher for Mastery7 to earn token.

Players trying to "buy" Masteries using blue essence by buying hextech boxes and keys are [zombie-brand-facepalm]

And to get a chest and key fragments, a player needs to earn an S rank.
