I was wondering about 1Million mastery banner Riot.

Jesus Is My King··70 votes·2,311 views

Will there be a look into having a million mastery points banner? Its pretty unique to see people with 1 million. it shows they know their champion.

Was wondering, because at 1 million, their is no reward. and 1 million is pretty impressive if you ask me,

1 million. its quite a bit of time and effort for no reward... :) just a new banner. would love to suggest an idea of what it may look like...

Personally I'd rather not.

As somebody with 1.6 million on Elise, I'd rather the game not announce how much I play the champion to my team or theirs.

Reasonings:

  • say there's a /remake and then they target ban you assuming everybody queues up the same time, I've had this happen many times (nobody just bans Elise in low diamond and when they do, I was in the previous lobby before dodge or remake). This is something easily abusable in higher elo and personally I pay attention the same way (if I see a guy with "thresh main" in my champ select lobby, and then dodge, and then I get in a new lobby immidiately and I don't see them, I'll ban thresh right there and about 80% of the time I was right and it either results in another dodge or them on something with lesser chances of winning). Its scumbag but its truthfully the best call to do from both ends, and the reason why I don't associate elise in my summoner tag at all and got rid of my club tag.

  • over expectency, I've had many people literally flame me for not 1v9 carrying and call me useless trash that wasted time, or the enemy team getting cocky off of counter jungling 2v1 mid+jungle and bming with "main?", even if I'm fed. Occasionally I'll get a player, especially in norms that just watch me instead of playing the game. Its cases like these I don't want my or the enemy to know about my experience because I'd rather let the performance dictate my skill expression then the number, which from the start makes players have an eye on you and every little thing you do, even if its right and looks wrong to them.

Even if I do go 11/0/11 I'll still get /all shit elise, fed only cause bad top laner.. so there's really nothing I'm willing to show for pride when the community takes the pride away.

  • "alpha affect", basically encourages me to play at my best to show off and go ape shit, which either leads to forced bad decisions or makes me starve a team etc. Kinda an individual personal problem for me there but I wonder if others have the same effect as "Lucian: Oh damn, a riven otp! you better be good, Riven: EZ PENTA INC"

Maybe something for your profile, but anything in-game or loading screen please no unless you can option to hide it, I wouldn't mind a cool banner on my profile so when people check me it immediately lets them know rather then them having to hover to see the number itself, but interaction about experience should be left alone. I wouldn't mind an icon for the thought however, just to say I have it.

That is true too, I agree that something like that for your profile instead of the loading screen would be nice.

Naming and shaming breaks boards policy. Remove this player's name from your post or you'll get in trouble with the mods.

There you have it*[zombie-brand-clap]*

Fair points but it could be optional and i'm pretty sure it'd work best as a Loading Screen decoration or even as a special Emote.

1 million is pretty crazy, I had 300k on WW and it would take forever to hit 1m. Props to the people who have done it!

I feel like a 1 million mastery thing would be a badge of shame if you're a low ranked player. Having a bad game = "wow you played that champ for so long and you still suck" or something along those lines

This just makes me want it even more. Nothing would be more significant of me being the worst Kench NA than having over a million mastery points for him, yet being still in bronze.

it shows they know their champion.

No, it shows they play a lot and have virtually no range. I have a guy on my friends list who has about 1 mil mastery on his main and is bronze 5, 0LP, and has been there since I have known him.

Yeah you could in theory get to 1 million mastery points without winning a single game on the champion it would just take a lot more games (though for that to happen you would pretty much have to try and lose and even then your team might be able to win 4v5 or the enemy might also have someone that afk or whatever making it a 4v4)

Would be pretty dope, maybe the same mastery banner type, but In white/diamond?

It would be a good shitter detector.

The irony of the mastery system is that because it simply increases with games played the most important thing the mastery system does is reveal who's dramatically hard stuck at their rank.

Unless you are plying normals a lot, or have mastery from previous seasons, there is zero indication you got that mastery cause youre hardstuck...

I think Mastery does not show how good you are on a champ, but how many games u have played and how much you have grinded. So this shouln't be in loading screen at all (or as option). Even tho - I think there should be someting on the profile ( that is visible in loadingscreen to if u toggle it on) that is just golden ( like the challenger frame around the champion pic.). That would be nice. But NO new BM - stuff ingame...

Please, one million is easy!

Spank the Fox2 votes

No thanks.

Already bad enough with people being inflexible and one-tricking. There shouldn't be a reward on top of this just because X enjoys spamming Riven, much to the team's detriment.

NineTailedMystic2 votes

oh no

people like playing one champ

Obviously team comp isn't that much of a factor if one tricks make it to challenger

Spank the Fox1 votes

Very few make it to Challenger as a one trick, and trust me, if you're still silver with 1 million mastery whatever, it ain't you.

League isn't an MMO where you can spec one hero til the end of time. Riot shouldn't reinforce nor reward this mindset.

But judging from your name, you're biased from the getgo anyways.

rito pls

MeDicenWera2 votes

Absolutely, It basically proves you're tremendously dedicated to that champion and should probably be recognized for it. I have around 250K for Riven which is my most played, but not even adding up every other champion mastery points to Riven's could I reach 1 Million. DO IT RIOT.

The Darius King1 votes

As of rn I have 569k on darius and i'd love to see some type of reward for getting to 1 mil mastery

Reyna Rivets1 votes

Lovely how Riot's forum rules indicate not to put "Riot" in the title of posts, but people still say to hell with that rule and do it anyway.

Anywho, I say a loading screen flair for 1mil mastery points would be nice. Perhaps put it on top with the honor flair or give them a modified splash art or something. Don't really think anything else is needed out-of-game as mastery 6-7 is still pretty big and messy looking. I suppose you could draw a gold box around one that had 1mil+ though.

Ahri Baka1 votes

I agree , but surely Riot won't make a reward for 1 Million only , the idea starts about 250 K first then 500 k then 1M ,sounds good.

RekSai Main1 votes

With 600k+ Mastery Points on Rek'Sai (Plan to hit 1M by the end of Season 8), I'd be totally down for this.

Doubtfull (NA Challenger Rek'Sai main) just hit 1M on her too

Jesus Is My King1 votes

oh woah! i have likes on a post! thanks guys, i really do believe this is something that could/ should be thought about :) 1 million is amazing yet nothing to show for it. <3
