So, are Champion Mastery Points basically useless now?

Champion Mastery Points are basically useless now.

Leona is my highest mastery, and my lowest being Morgana I think. She doesn't even show up on my top 3. But if I get her to Mastery 6 before Leona, that automatically puts her to the top. What was the point of trying to get mastery points with a champion if it doesn't even matter anymore? Some people worked really hard to get high mastery points. My friend has 800k on Lulu, but what if they are unlucky enough that they don't end up getting any Lulu shards but gets Janna instead.. I get it, they will be implementing purchasing the champ shards with RP/IP, whatever, but you shouldn't have to. Mastery shouldn't have anything to do with Hextech Crafting.

Not only that, but how is it fair that people have Mastery 6/7 on a champion but no where near as many points as you may have?

It was implemented as progression for the individual then you sheep made it into something else like you sheep do with everything RIOT implements.

it's fair cause 6/7 actually means you should be somewhat decent on the champ.

ranks 1-5 you could get on any champ, even if you suck balls. just by playing it alot.

Then break down the Janna shard and use the blue essence. It is either/or. You don't need the shard for the champ you want to upgrade to level 6/7.

Someone who has 100k+ mastery on a champ is probably decent on them, and should be able to get the tokens for 6/7 mastery before too long. The blue essence/shard roadblock might be an issue at first, which is a nuisance, but once it's done it's done (and the mystery coin->champ shards for ip thing will make that somewhat less painful, depending on how much ip it costs).

Then once someone is rank 7 mastery, their mastery points for that champion will be shown on their profile (provided it's in their top 3 mastered champions anyway) again, so people can show off the number that way. (Incidentally, I feel like the majority of champion mastery point show-off things are done by people stating the number anyway rather than people looking it up, so that's still an option even for people who aren't 7 mastery.)

Besides, is someone who has 1000 games on a champ and got a B every time better than someone who has 100 games and got an S rank every time, even if the former person has more mastery points in total?

It will take some players longer to get levels 6 and 7 because they don't have as much blue essence stored up. But in 4-5 patches, they'll have it and have their nice pretty icons. Given that they last forever, another month or two doesn't really matter.

AS far as MPs go, they're bragging rights as much now as before. Saying you have 200k means something to me. Personally, I'm playing more for total mastery score, getting as many champs raised up as I can. But that's my own mini-game. Find your own.
