Support mastery now sees assists equal to kills!

Patch 6.14 Mastery grade calculations for supports will be adjusted during this patch.

Since we introduced mastery levels 6 & 7, support players felt even more incentivized to snipe kills to pad their stats and improve their chance at an S or S+. We’re re-tuning the system, sorting out some additional variables so supports get more credit for support-y game-winning plays.

MEASURE OF A MANATEE: Support grades now better reflect relative performance in the role SWIPER NO SWIPING: Support grades specifically weigh assists equal to kills, leaving one fewer excuse for bloodthirsty Flash-Ignites

YUSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Level 7 mastery on every support here I comeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. "Support grades specifically weigh assists equal to kills... ASSISTS EQUAL TO KILLS!" The systems gonna be like damn girl that Lulu got 40 kills? S++

So much excite.

So do they count as more if you have a lot more assists than kills or do you have to have some items or something? I'm asking because I play a lot of ARAM and very rarely buy gold income items (The only items I would generally get that would be considered "support" is locket or just general items to add cc)

I'm not too sure about Aram, but I feel like for SR if you join queue as a support or blind pick a support champ and go bot lane it will read you as support. Pretty sure there are a bunch of ways the system can tell which role you play.
