About champion master

(Posted it in the wrong place, sorry Rito, here's the re-post)

So I love the idea of champion mastery, but I'm not sure I like the way it's being implemented completely.

Hitting rank 5 so quickly is my main gripe about it, to me it doesn't translate into "Wow, he really knows that champion." I find it to be kind of the opposite. not having rank 5 means you have at best a basic understanding of the champion. Going into a high level game with a champion you haven't ranked up is fairly scary for your allies.

I know you stated that you would release higher tiers in the future, but in the meantime could you make hitting rank 5 just a tad harder? (For those unaware, it was stated to take anywhere from "15-30" games) Someone with an unranked champion just shows they have inexperience, someone WITH a rank 5 champion just shows at best that they know how to play the champion.

Putting that aside, how about after you hit rank 5, you have the option to display your all-time scores with the champion? Tally up how many kills, assists, wins, etc. about the champion in the loading screen? (Just gonna put it in because I know someone will say it: I got the idea from SMITE but you totally shouldn't feel like you can't be more like them, or that you have to set yourself apart in any way, they have a good system, feel free to use it)

30 games is fairly enough to master a champion. There is no point spamming a champion and playing 100 games in order to ''master'' it. Believe it or not some people master a champion around 10-15 games others master around 30-50. People should stop whining about the new system imo. Having rank 5 doesn't mean you gonna get penta with that champ every single game.

Lol. Been playing since S1 and I think I have 20 games on maybe 3 champs. MAYBE.

Funny thing to realize.

The only thing that makes me not care about this is the fact that Riot has already said that they are highly likely to implement more tiers and tier 5 being the max at first to see how it works. I believe I've seen images of them having at least 10 total lvls of mastery.

Also while you may have loads of time to play this game not everyone does. for some people getting in 1 game a day is easy and others getting in 5 is not playing enough. Also considering the chances that you'll play 1 champ consistently for at least 15 games. straight is rather ludicrous . Even in bronze and silver as a support main I rarely would get to play the same support every game or want to for that matter to keep team comp in mind.
