The Struggle for Mastery

Skittles91k·Jan 23, 2017·1 votes·575 views

So, while I do enjoy the concept of actually having to prove your skill with a certain champion to earn level 6 and 7 tokens, and I honestly love working for it. When I don't feel like playing ranked it gives me something to push forwards and try my absolute best when it comes to farming and such.

However. I feel like the grading system is wack. I've gotten an actual pentakill in game, and didn't get an S. I play pretty much every role, so I've struggled with each. I have level 7 with Kindred, Miss Fortune and Lux and it took forever on Miss Fortune. When you play ADC i feel like you have to have 250-300 farm to even be considered for an S-, not to mention at least 7 kills and for every death you get you need like 5 more kills to try and get the S. I've gone 15-2 and haven't gotten an S-. On the contrary, I've gone like 17-5 and gotten an S. When it comes to junglers, that's not as hard but you do need to be extremely on top of objectives or you can kiss that S rank goodbye.

With Lux, I got most if not all of my tokens as support, it feels like one of the easiest roles to get an S rank in, just don't die too much and get assists, pretty easy. However, I've gotten maybe one or two S ranks at all as a midlaner and one as a top laner (i was playing Camile) Granted I'm not the best top laner, and it's not my best lane but still.

I understand it being difficult to get an S, but the system could use a bit more stability and constancy. This is just what I think.

What is with people saying "lol riot only does shit for money"? Did making the mastery system get them any money? If anything, they may have lost out, because people would get skins from S boxes instead of buying them.

I don't believe Riot's drive is money, because at the end of the day: the game IS free to play. You don't have to buy skins, you don't have to buy anything. Spending money is 100% optional, now I've spent my fair share of money on this game but I didn't have to.

Playing a champ support is the easiest way to get an s. Requirements- Around 4 kills and 20 assists Decent Kill participation Wards About 100 cs between 0-7ish deaths (maybe 13 ish) Objective participation(not too sure about this one)

No clue what the requirements are for Jg and Adc. (I once went 12/5/16 Evelynn jg and got an s.. to bad it was the same game I got mast 5 so rip)

Mid you just have to get a ton of farm and kills and rampage throughout the map. Top you have to find the perfect balance of farming and helping your team.

I currently have mastery 6 on Malzahar, Shen, Zilean, Veigar, and Twisted Fate. Mastery 5 on Evelynn, Xerath, Fiddlesticks, Bard, Lux, and Ekko
