Is the Mastery System too degrading?

llamabuisness··3 votes·832 views

I can't be the only one who finds the Mastery system somewhat degrading, I feel like it hurts way more than it helps. The way they grade you on how your performance, in my own opinion, is very unnecessary, I'm an avid ADC main, I play a lot of games as one and I feel as if I do well, but I've had games where I've gone 7/2/4 with 175 cs and I've gotten a C, but then I have a game where I go 9/8/14 with 315 cs and I get an A. Is Riot saying that ALL that matters to ADC's is their farm and not as much for their KDA? I may be overreacting, I dunno. I know some poeple think it helps, and that may be the case for some, where it helps you get better, I'm alright with that, but to me, I feel that League shouldn't just be competitive, and being graded on a game when you want to have fun and be proud of what YOU did during a game should be an option, if I could turn off the grading, I'd do it in a heartbeat, because I don't want to feel disappointed, or bummed out because of a D, anyone else feel the same way? Again, I may just be overreacting.

You don't have to look at it. You have to mouseover the circle to see your grade.

You got me on that one, but that's besides the point, I mean, it's just there, you can't really avoid it, and I personally, am someone who can't control myself and I get too curious, I just don't like that aspect of it, everything else is completely fine, it's just the grading after games

the grade is meaningless anyway. entire system is just fake points in a video game because people like fake points in video games

Two downvotes, and it's probably because of the line "I'm an avid ADC main".

That may be so, I wrote this at like 2 in the morning, not really thinking that much, I probably could have worded it better, but it's just something I wanted to get off my chest, I just find it completely unnecessary, that's my opinion, I'm entitled to it, and there is some perople that agree with me, but yes, that could be the reason for the downvotes

I really just said that because the jungler and support mains have succeeded in effectively dehumanizing ADC mains.

Well, just ignore it. I don't mean that in that stupid "You're not allowed to complain" sort of way. I mean it looks like it has turned out to be a bit of tacked-on point collector. Xbox Achievements are just distracting little popups that take you out of the game and can discourage you from doing things you want for points, little meaningless numbers given out just for playing the game you were going to play anyway. Put in to try to convince people to play more. You just go into options and turn them off. That's it. Mastery Points are League's Xbox Achievement.

When I heard about it, I thought it would be a separate mode, and I was okay with that. I don't think I'll mind but I wish you could turn them off, Llama.

Like I've said in another thread.

The points accumulation is okay and a fun thing to work towards. The grading system seems unnecessary and more likely to frustrate a player from playing their favourite champions because they don't get the grade they think they deserve.
