I don't see what your dumb hextech game has to do with my mastery ranking but ok.

Essence will be easier to obtain since you can (I don't know when exactly) buy Champ shards from the shop (Randomly) for IP/

BlueNoizeMay 19, 201648 votes

This doesn't address the fact that OP is clearly obsessed with Lulu and devoted a lot of their time to playing her. Linking a system that is supposed to show champ proficiency with this RNG gating is insulting. The system had a nice start with requiring the S tokens, but the crafting part that includes blue essence is misguided.

ModAcademy KaynMay 19, 20162 votes

It doesn't address the OP's comment because I'm replying to Xplicits comment about Essence. Unless I'm mistaken though, It's not really RNG. It's about getting an S-, S, S+ for a Champion you supposedly play a lot and are really good at. If that OP has that many Lulu games under there belt, it shouldn't be hard to get an S, and with the Future Mystery Champ Item chest that'll be in the store, I'll be easier than ever to get blue essence.

I think Riot messed up by not releasing that part about the new masteries. You'll [eventually] be able to use IP for champion shards and therefore blue essence. This mitigates the rng/pay-to-win aspect of these masteries. However most people seemed to have glossed over that detail, assuming they even read the patch notes

Knowing riot it cost lot of IP per shard

WarlockLawMay 19, 20161 votes

I'm fully expecting it to cost at least 2100 so that it can't be used to circumvent 6300 IP champ prices

Nah no way it be 2100 unless its random shard.

and a pack of random shards for like 4200 ip

how do you know the littlest lulu is obsessed with lulu i think you're assuming too much

Michael SykesMay 19, 20162 votes

Yeah, but in some roles it is easier to get a S rank than in other roles. It feels more like luck and not like true experience on a champion...

WarlockLawMay 19, 20161 votes

It's 'easier' for you to get an S in some roles than others yes, but for other people different roles are easier or harder. I haven't gotten a single S on adc since they launched the grades. I never do well enough to earn it. I don't even think I've gotten an A+ on one. However for supports I've gotten several S grades.

elon wątrobaMay 20, 20161 votes

Play normals, it's way easier to get a S rank there. I have earned S grades on every position that way.

WarlockLawMay 20, 20161 votes

Dear god, I'd never play adc in ranked. That'd be asking for demotions. Or technically since I haven't placed yet, it'd be asking to get placed into bronze

Darkslayer85May 19, 20165 votes

It should be orange shit instead of blue shit, because this is cosmetic.

LusokaMay 19, 201637 votes

Hmm, I got an idea. How about additional tokens can be used to get Blue essence for the mastery. More use out of the token and doesn't require you to mess around with random chests.

BlueNoizeMay 19, 20163 votes

THIS! SO MUCH THIS! Then I feel the title Mastery will fit it so much more. I truly love this idea.

Michael SykesMay 19, 20167 votes

why they did not add the masteries level 6&7 without that hextech crafting? Would be cooler to unlock them with champion points, and with far more champion points than we need for 5... so the teammates can see that this guy has much experience and not just luck

Bobloser3555May 19, 20168 votes

Exactly, level 6 100.000 points and level 7 300.000 points

ProfDrDeathMay 19, 20163 votes

Because you can get 100k and 300k points by grinding, without being particularily good at the champion.

~300 wins though, probably enough for a guy to know what he's doing with a champ.

Michael SykesMay 20, 20161 votes

yep of course, but s rankings to unlock the masteries 6&7 combined with many mastery points is a better method to me than just buying champion shards...

Telephone BoothMay 19, 20164 votes

Ya but... one can play 1000 games with a champ and still be bronze. I've played cait up to about 100k mastery points but I bet a diamond player with half that has mastered her more than I have. Games played should not equal mastery level. It should coincide with your performance, imo (like getting S grades). This still is not perfect ofc.

DeadJokrMay 19, 201618 votes

i just wished we get tokens for already getting S before the lv 6&7 update. Now im just going to get thirsty and greedy just trying to get the S again twice....

Wînter FoxMay 19, 201612 votes

I would be fine with there being a 500 blue essence cost with the S rank** if there was another way to get blue essence**. The only way right now is to spend time grinding, mastering other champions, getting S ranks on them, and hoping that the random things in the chests will turn into blue stuff. It's just a really bad, random system that makes 0 sense.

If you kept getting champion shards for every time you get an S rank on the same champion and could turn those into blue essence, that would be much better

xStormaggedonxMay 19, 20164 votes

The thing is, and everyone seems to be overlooking this and I'm honestly getting fed up and really frustrated, that it is NOT rng based. They SPECIFICALLY said that they would be creating a new, cheap, easy thing in the shop to get blue essence. And since this seems to be the only thing people are mad about that it's hard to the blue essence, I'm honestly just disappointed that people got too butthurt to even keep reading to see that they're taking pains to make it easier for you.

BlueNoizeMay 19, 20165 votes

We aren't overlooking that. Blue Essence in no way reflects champion mastery with X champion. The more I talk around the boards the more its looking like Riot just put it on to appease the people who have nothing to do with the blue essence.

Then they really should have released the 'cheap, easy thing' in the shop FIRST. Not releasing it before champ mastery and people getting upset is on them, not the customers.

"Let's integrate Champion Mastery, ostensibly a system designed to gauge and reward players for skill, with a totally RNG based money grabbing system. I see no reason why anyone would be anything less than delighted!"

Because man....the more hextech boxes you open the better it makes you at your champ.

Yes.

RocketRelmMay 19, 20165 votes

Over 300k Mastery with Morgana. I've gotten at least 50 S rank games with her over the course of all that, maybe 100.

Yeah I'mma just consider myself rank 7. Preach it Lulu.

Chad ChadlainnMay 21, 20163 votes

How do you convert that to how many people you gave cancer in lane?

Hard PenetratorMay 19, 20162 votes

I am amazed how ppl can play so much with one champion. Most games I can handle 1 champ is probably ~4.

KelvinwopMay 20, 20162 votes

Clearly, you have not tried teemo.

Zone of EndlessMay 19, 20162 votes

I really really hate how Riot is forcing all these new features now player's throat.

Why don't they make it so you can't play ranked without premade 5 already.

Telephone BoothMay 19, 20162 votes

This is what I don't get. What are they forcing on you? You don't have to pay attention to any of this. If you never unlock mastery level 6 or 7, you can still play the friggin game. In what way is this being forced down your throat? You get free chests n keys to unlock free shit? Oh no riot why are you doing this to me???!! You're forcing me to ....well idk.. what are they forcing you to do?

They're forcing you to use hextech in order to get mastery level 6 and 7. Is there a reason why mastery level should tied to hextech loots? You get one box per S grade per champ. The boxes reset at a rate of once per week. Keys are dropped as fragments and you need three to craft a key. The rate at which the fragments drop are lowered each time you get one and it's reset every month. So if you really want those mastery level you have to wait a while or lucky enough to get what you need from the w/e boxes you have. Otherwise you can spend more money to buy the keys and boxes.

Now I don't really care about hextech loots because I'm a patient guy.

But then I ask again, why does master level need to be tied to hextech? How does that show any kind of skill other than grinding for S grades to get 2 token and then hoping you have what you needed from hextech crafting?

Telephone BoothMay 20, 20161 votes

Ya sorry it's your opinion. Not my place to bash it. I don't see a problem with it just because I don't care about arbitrary mastery levels. If you've mastered a champion you should be in Diamond or challenger or master or whatever. So any way you do it, imo, it will not reflect true mastery so I just dgaf how they do it I guess.

However my point still stands that they aren't forcing anything down anyone's throat. You don't have to do anything but play the game if you want. So while it may be fucked up, saying they're forcing it on you is not the right way to make an arguement against it. But I'm sorry for being harsh.

I have 420 mastery on Mundo. That's why they call me the OG Mondo.

SpecterVonBarenMay 19, 20161 votes

How do you make her work bot? I miss when there was a point to picking a squishy utility support.

AuraSilverMay 19, 20162 votes

Before her nerfs I felt like she was a solid support pick and did well with her usually since she was one of my favorites. I didn't think they'd be that big of a deal at first but now I honestly never felt so useless and almost always lose when I pick her support.

Meanwhile in solo lane she's nearly unaffected. Y'know, the thing they wanted to nerf in the first place.

SpecterVonBarenMay 19, 20161 votes

(Nods) I have felt the same way. It seems like Riot is only willing to let tank supports and the braindead easy Janna be popular and viable.

JorenciceMay 19, 20161 votes

As a Janna main. Lulu is one of my hardest lanes. The only support I hate facing more is a really good karma.

Athenes LuluMay 19, 20161 votes

On the other hand Janna gives me a hard time in lane because she pretty much wins by stat checking.

That is, having a better shield. Maybe I really should just resort to blindly mashing buttons on my own if that's the case...

JorenciceMay 20, 20161 votes

Oh just poke her to death. Lulu only deals 400x more damage than janna.

And if she's shielding herself she can't sheild her adc.

You also have a free super exhaust with polymorph. While janna only has a slow.

Athenes LuluMay 20, 20161 votes

Most Janna shield their ADCs, hide behind them 5 miles away and let them tank, and no one can outtrade that ADC because of the AD steroid shield and how tough that shield is.

Since Lulu's shield and poke range are shorter than Janna's, you can pretty much hide behind your ADC and let him do the tanking and you will peel for him. If you do that, they will focus on your ADC and that's when you can pretty much time your shield to negate all that poke.

If I'm ever winning against Janna lanes, that's because she's not hiding behind her ADC and is telling me that she wants to get smeared with glitter. Stay away, let your ADC do the tank and killing, and you're good to go.

JorenciceMay 21, 20161 votes

Oh. I never have trouble dieing against anyone.

It's just her poke is more than I can shield. Especially if both her and her adc are really agrressive.

Janna really doesn't have any trouble with any other support. If I'm getting pwned I can just turn the lane into a farm fest.

I was just saying lulu and to a greater extent karma are some of my toughest lanes

Telephone BoothMay 19, 20161 votes

Omfg. All the crying. It's only been out for a few days (or 2?) and I have to wait to get mastery level 6 and 7?! What a money grab!! It's a new, free feature. It's an addition to what they had in the game before. They aren't taking anything away from you. Spoiled ass people.

FZ9R6eqXjpMay 20, 20161 votes

I spent nothing on getting Level 7 Riven because didn't every get free chest and keys already? You can easily just turn a champion into blue essence. :D

Telephone BoothMay 20, 20161 votes

Well I guess I got frustrated reading some lame reasons for hating the mastery lvl 6/7 system. But in the end it's their opinion and this is the place for posting your opinion so my post was a little out of line. Sorry peeps
