I thought champion mastery was going to make losing frustrating

Edit: Title should say "less frustrating"

It should feel something along the lines of

"Hey I know you lost the game but your individual performance was great that match so here's a reward for it!"

What we get is

"I know you did your best to carry the game but you still lost so your efforts mean jack shit in the end so fuck you no master points huehuehuehue"

Hey Riot you know we already have a system in place that rewards winning games? Yeah it's called ranked. Your decision to make the number of mastery points awarded based off of whether you won or lost the game is absurd.

I know you say that "People won't focus on winning games and will instead play selfishly" and you know something, we've heard that before.

Every single time a system is propsed in order to help the game whether it be in champ select, fixing toxicity or whatnot the response in literally 99% of the time "something something people will abuse it".

I have no idea why you as a company have such a pessimistic view of your playerbase but it's getting really annoying that we can't ever have anything nice because the rotten eggs that play this game will abuse things in certain ways.

I dunno I've lost games and still received A's and B's while my teammates who did more poorly than me got C's and D's. I'm not sure what decides what with that system but I've personally never felt mocked by or cheated out of grade.

But also I use the low grades I do get as a chance to do my best to remember what I did wrong and when and how to avoid it.

And then you realize the grade doesn't matter because the points are determined by whether you win or lose.

Higher the grade, higher the points. At least that's what I've noticed. So again, dunno what you're talking about on that part. I've lost, still got okay grades and points to go with it. Not everytime, but when I do well in a game, I get good grades/points.

A long shot, but it is still kinda new, maybe there's bugs here and there for certain people sometimes.

Problem is, if you get an A and win, you get hundreds of points, but if you lose, sure you get more than someone who lost and got a C, but you're still getting little over a hundred points.

This, to put it into perspective I got a A- on Vel'Koz once for a win, got 1600 points (or something close to that) from a single game, get the same grade in a loss later on (enemy bot got fed and we got rekt later) got around 300 points.

It's designed as a "feel good" grind.

Nothing more.

It doesn't "feel good" when you do well, lose, and then get no points

but you do get points

the last level of mastery on a champ (if youre there yet) just takes a while

It just feels extremely inconsistent when I play off role thresh support, get carried, recieve grade of C- and 1500 pts whereas if I go azir mid, dominate my lane and get an S but we lost I get 100 pts.

If you don't see a problem there I don't know what to tell you.
