Issues with champ mastery 6 and 7

SwiftKitten88··12 votes·1,553 views

TLDR champ mastery should NOT be based on anything other than how good you are at the champion.

not your wallet not your friends skill on their champs, carrying you on a champ you dont play. not you skill on OTHER champs in order to get boxes and NOT random luck

it should be based solely on how good you are at that champion. and as long as you can prove that, no amount of money, your friends, skill at other champs, or dumb luck should make that go any faster or slower

/ TLDR

i absolutely love the idea of having champ mastery 6 and 7

and i have no problem with getting credit only when you get an S- or higher for lvl 6 and S or higher for level 7

the issue i have with this is how it is tied to hextech loot

earning a "mastery" on a champ should signify how good you are a a champion

not signify how lucky you are to get the right champ shards or the right essence

for example..

i dont play very many champion.. but the ones i do play i have lvl 4 and 5 mastery on

now i can get keys for getting an win easily enough.

but i CANT get any more boxes becuase EVERY champ i play i have already unlocked a box for

and since boxes dont reset until the end of the season, unless i find a person to que with me and hard carry me on a champ i dont play so they can get an "S" on thier champ unlocking the box for the champ i dont know how to play i wont get any more boxes.

so the fact that mastery is now tied to hextech loot means that either i have to PURCHASE boxes (meaning mastery now means my wallet is deep instead of my skill being good)

OR it means i have to play champ i dont want to play and have a party member carry the game. meaning they are playing with a worthless teammate (because i cam't play the champ im on).. and im playing with a champ i dont even want to play .. and he is playing a 4v5, so neither of us are having fun.

so my option right now to unlock champ mastery 6 and 7 for my mains are to pay money for boxes... or to find a teammates to do something that will be not be fun for either of us

PLEASE make it so champ mastery is based on SKILL not random luck, the size of your wallet, and forcing people to do what they don't want to do

i should get champ mastery for playing the same champ over and over and proving that I'm good at that champ.

NOT by having to play DIFFERENT champs other than the one im trying to get mastery on and trying getting an "S" on them so i can unlock a box for champ chance of getting a champ shard for the champ i ACTUALLY want the mastery on.

i shouldn't be FORCED to play OTHER champs at an S level to to earn the material i need to get champ mastery on the champ i want.. that is completely backwards.

cough IP purchasable item that will give you random champ shards. They already stated this. This also solves the problem is having nothing to spend all your infinite IP on once you're maxed out

ok if i can purchase a champ chard with IP that HELPS the matter

but it still poses a similar issue

right now im lvl 5 atNidalee

i earned an S on nidalle 3 times so i can unlock mastery 6

except i need a nidalee shard.

now if could PICK that i wanted a nidalee shard that would be one thing

but the fact that it is RANDOM has nothing to do with my "skill" at nidalee

random means random.

and tying somthing what is supposed to reflect your skill and prevent you from earning it it beat the odds and RANDOMLY earn the champion is stupid.

i could be the best nidalee player in the world.. and statically speaking nidalee could be the LAST champ shard i unlock with my IP

so i would be stuck at nidalee level 5 while some person who is good at nid but clearly not as good as me could randomly earn it the first time they spent IP.

so now they are lvl 6 and i am lvl 5?

now obviously im only silver and although I'm great at nidalee. any challenger player who has never played nidalee could probably destroy me in a 1v1 nid vs nid fight.

but my point remains the same.

champ mastery should NOT be based on anything other than how good you are at the champion.

not your wallet not your friends skill on their champs, carrying you on a champ you dont play. not you skill on OTHER champs in order to get boxes and NOT random luck

it should be based solely on how good you are at that champion. and as long as you can prove that, no amount of money, your friends, skill at other champs, or dumb luck should make that go any faster or slower

you can use a champ shard or 500 essence, which you get for breaking down a few of ANY champ shards.

Same thing for lvl 7 and 600 essence. So it's easier if you get the exact shard you want, but certainly possible with shit luck.

Keep on going about how uneducated you are about the system

and what happens if i have already used my essences? i cant unlock any more with the champ i play until next season.

what happens to the player who has just started playing and has hit lvl 5 mastery on one champ

and earns his 3 "S" on that champ but needs to learn and entirely new champ to order get earn another box to get essense what if he gets the wrong essence?

what if this new player who just started playing earns lvl 5 and get's his 3 "S" and wants to use IP to unlock his champ shard? will this new player needs to buy runes.. he cant afford to spend his ip on the random chance he might get the champ he wants.

like i started in my last post and just added as my TLDR in my first post

champ mastery should NOT be based on anything other than how good you are at the champion.

not your wallet not your friends skill on their champs, carrying you on a champ you dont play. not you skill on OTHER champs in order to get boxes and NOT random luck

It should only be craftable out of those "Mastey Tokens". Collect 5 specific Tokens with a Main and craft The Tier 6. Repeat for Tier 7 with more specific Tokens. Its based on being good with the Champ itself then. This System they want to do right now is to luck-dependent
