Champion mastery S ratings promote toxicity

I just encountered my first toxic support EVER in over 3 years of playing this game. And it wasn't just 1 or 2 lines of toxicity that you can brush off.

What did I do? Well, she Nami was on the enemy team. They were crushing our bot lane and doing quite well. I MonkeyKing, tried to make a play midlane by ulting their mid and support (nami). I thought my support was with me but she ran off to ward before I noticed. So I messed up, I killed nami, but died to azir in the process.

Since I killed her once, she was certain that I "literally threw the game just to stop her from getting her S". Oh, yeah, my entire plan for that game was just to ruin her chances at getting an S.

She proceeded to berate me the rest of the match in /all chat, and called me "horrible person", "trash human being", "fucking water trash of a person", "selfish trash of a person that literally threw the game to ruin my S".

Funny thing is, she got the S anyway (and a few reports i'm sure).

Anyway, as many other people have pointed out, the mastery system doesn't really promote actual mastery or teamplay, but rather selfish interests (for example letting your team die (when you could have died as well in order to win the fight) just to keep your death count low to try and get that shiny blue mastery 7).

Bit of a vent i guess but that was probably some of the worst toxicity i've ever had in this game directed at me, all for trying to make a play and killing an enemy (i.e. playing the game).

0 deaths does not make an S. People should get that out of their heads.

actually I've found the greatest contribution to S scores is farm and assists. I've had plenty of games as a jungler (who plays mostly khazix, fizz, and diana) so low farm, high kill count, low assists. i rarely get S's.

it can lead to ppl acting worse if they arent playing good especailly early game.If im plying a champ that i have rank 5 in and ppl start diving me 4 or 5 at a time,which happens a lot as adc. i already know i aint getting no s.Even if u dont die they can just make u lose farm over and over again and without that farm gl getting that s. I can see and feel it happening already. If the enemy team is focusing my lane hard in order to deney me i just plain dont want to play that game anymore and dont give a shit what anyone else thinks, im playing for that s and nothing else.
