the title says it all... it would be better... and would still needs skills... you could just get other S on that champ to get other mastery tokens to disenchant 'em in blue essence... or if you got an S in another champ you have at lvl 5 but you don't really need at lvl 6, you could still use the token for your main...
it would be nice...
This new mastery 6 and 7 thing is such a money grab, saw a guy with 40k points on a champ who had mastery level 7 while I who has 100k on garen has 5 because I can't afford keys and chests to farm essence.
This needs more upvotes. Bump this thread in the morning will ya?
This is a really good idea
Mastery shards should be disenchanted into a 3rd essence (let's just say white essence) and have another upgrade path option utilizing it for champ mastery.
The reason I say that is because blue essence is still used to get free champs. Riot will probably not do what you ask since people could just farm queues on their best champs to unlock all the other champs.
My lord this is brilliant that way it really could be mastery instead of RNG or $$
I think the blue essence in general needs to be distributed in other ways than just the off chance of getting a champion shard from hextech. 500 is quite a steep price as well for simply unlocking lv 6 for even one champion.
Tbh, I think it would be swell if blue essence could be distributed via a method similar to the free win of the day so it encourages more players to log in more often. Even a small amount such as 50 essence a day (just an example in regards to getting enough essence within 10 days of logging in for 500 essence) would be easier than simply crossing one's fingers for an actual champion shard to disenchant just for the mere starvation of levelling up a champion.
Don't get me wrong, I still do believe 500 is quite a steep price for levelling up; however, like what the topic says - we really need more ways of obtaining blue essence than just hoping luck gives us a champion shard to disenchant.
This is how it should have been implemented in the first place... Thank you.
The community has spoken.
This is a great idea that I never thought of. I recently made a discussion on this same topic that went in depth to the problem I would love if you could add the ideas to there and up vote in order to get more attention to this issue.

I think that is a great idea, each mastery token granting about 250 B.E should be a good balance. I also have an idea to maybe turn those mastery tokens into a keyfrag, like with gemstones, but just less.
It won't really be necessary once they've added the champion shards (that you get with IP) in a patch or two, but I don't see the harm in this.
I'd personally rather they just don't make me farm up blue essence and just let me get mastery on the champion I've played a ton. To get lvl 5 I didn't have a to play a shit ton and then farm blue essence, i just had to play a shit ton. So why for this one is it not just "get two mastery tokens" rather than "get two mastery tokens and then farm blue essence."
why so many dots though oh my god

I have my mastery tokens. But I can't do anything with them because I can't get the champion shards, which are completely random drops. Guess the only option is to buy my champion mastery? That's not mastery. That's almost pay to win.
Or just make lv6 take 100k points and lv7 take 250k points. S ranks are fairly easy to get, i got my lv6 akali on day one and im already 1/3 S/S+ for lv7. Im sure i will get the other two S or S+ tokens within a week or two. 250k is a bigger milestone than simply getting 3 lucky games where you stomped super hard.
