Level 6 Master is a rip off

nhouser9··2 votes·826 views

Riot,

I want and deserve level 6 mastery on my main champion. I have earned 6 or so Ss since hitting level 5 mastery. The funny thing is, most people complaining about this are complaining that they have to pay for shards to get mastery. I don't even care about that. I would pay you 25 dollars right now to give me the shards to upgrade to level 6 mastery.

As a matter of fact, that's what I tried to do. I just spent around 20 dollars in RP rolling random chests, when i don't care AT ALL about any of the champions or skins I will get, just to look for blue essence. I found 195 blue essence - not enough for level 6 mastery. Now I'm just feeling ripped off and like I don't want to give you my money ever again.

What a terrible business model. First of all, the fact that I have to pay you money to get mastery on a champion is idiotic. The only thing that could possibly be worse for your business is the fact that I'm WILLING to indulge in your farce and pay you cash out of my pocket for my mastery... and I don't even have the option to do that. I just have to waste time and money rolling random chests over and over getting meaningless stuff that has no value to me.

Bad business Riot. I won't be buying RP again any time soon.

Sincerely, nhouser9

you didn't HAVE to pay for mastery, you CHOSE to. I have my 2 tokens for Lulu and have no intention of paying for chests. The champ shard thing goes live next patch so why even bother?

Right, just like you don't HAVE to eat right now, you can always choose to wait until you're on the brink of starvation. Getting blue essence is so improbable that it's unreasonable to expect to get enough from random chests within your own lifetime.

LOL, I don't think you're going to die if you don't pay for league, what even is that comparison?

That's my "that's literally how hard it is" comparison, it's literally that improbable and hard to get blue essence 1 in a million at best, it's that excruciating to rely on random hextech chest drops with such a low probability of a champion shard now that the new probability of champ shards is dramatically lower. It's not as bad as food poisoning or really most diseases, but pretty bad. I would say it's not as bad as starving in the sense of being about to die and not knowing where you're going to get food from, but more in the putting yourself through two weeks of not eating anything and being about to fall into a coma. If I had to choose a life or death situation of "either survive two weeks of no food, or, gamble as to get enough champion shards with 20$ to unlock level 7." I'd take the two weeks, it's just too improbable to get champ shards.

I've gotten over 2000 blue essence in the short time that the Crafting has been online and I only bought the 11 chests bundle once, and have gotten several other chests from winning them. So it's pretty easy.

Plus there will be IP based Champion Shard chests in the future that will give you what you will need, so it will be even easier.

Call Guinness, world record for most improbable event ever achieved by a human.

i don't understand why you'd pay for MASTERY but alright.. Extra style points i guess

We will be getting champion shard chests that can be bought with IP in a future patch. It was said right in the patch notes. So come back then.

No, what's stupid is the fact that riot linked mastery 6 and 7 to their hextech system.. meaning if you're on your "reform period after a chat restriction" you can not earn tokens even when the champ shards go live next patch to be purchased for IP.. it's really a dumb system how you can earn up to 5 during restrictions, but heaven forbid you do well in a game and receive your S rank only to be told, "hah haha, you were toxic one day and now your hard work doesn't pay off!"

I got level 7 mastery and spent 0 money.

Try again kid.

People thinking they deserve an S. You have to realize if the majority curbstomps with your champ the system bases it off that.... so if the majority is going like 15/1/4 or such with your champ then for an S you need to go like 25/1/2 and thats not including warding, CSing and obj control. Play your champ, be a good player.. The S's will come.

I don't think you understand. I get an S every other game. I can't get the blue essence.

Mistress Shyvana1 votes

Oh, well that part i feel you wholeheartedly. I dislike that they tied blue essence into it... but Rito does what Rito wants.... item 3070

I just don't see why it didn't get tied to mastery point tiers. pop master 6 at like 250k points and mastery 7 at 500k. or if you don't want people QQ'ing about it maybe 100k for 6 and 250k for 7

PS; my grammar is terrible.
