Nearly 600k points with Sion and you slap me in the face with this new "mastery" system

This system isn't about how skillful you are with a champion, it's about how lucky you are with this stupid ass Hextech system. I have around 6 skin shards, AND 600k mastery points with Sion on my account just sitting there marinading for nothing, and not only that, but the S system is complete ASS for anyone who isn't playing carry champions. Am i missing something here? Do you guys understand how difficult it is to earn above an s, or an s- as a non-carry champ? It's nearly impossible. I play a tank, and i die for my time to protect them, but I get punished for it. I mean hell, look at this super awesome, A level game where we got nearly every dragon, a baron, every turret, first blood, donated nearly every buff, landed nearly EVERY ult:

No S, but of course, annie gets it, lux gets it. Like, seriously. This system isn't for 1 tricks, this isn't for people who want to prove that they know how to play a champion, it's for people who have money to blow on chests, and have enough luck to get blue essence.

So from yet another 1 trick pony, i give Riot 2 middle fingers for this crap system.

Thank you fro reading.

Agreed.

I find that for tank junglers the farm requirement may be a bit too high. I've had games just like the one you linked where I only get As or A+s as Zac, and I don't think I've ever gotten anything higher than that on him in the jungle.

That being said, I took him top and it took me three games to get all the S-s I needed for my Mastery 6 tokens, seems a bit imbalanced comparatively.

I mean the reason you didn't get an S that game is because you had 74 cs compared to their jg with 118 cs even though he was way behind you. I've noticed that cs is more important than kills and assists when it comes to getting a good grade.

I have no problem getting S with Tanks...

You'll find here, http://postimg.org/image/ayu1s3g8b/

That it shows not only that Annie did more Damage than sion (which is to be expected) but that Sion farmed a total of 18 jg creeps, 6 enemy jg creeps, and 49 minions.

Annie on the other hand, from this photo here, http://postimg.org/image/nepuj3bor/

Farmed 160 minions, and 14 jg creeps, has the same gold as the sion, and half the kills. But look at her damage done!

Sion should have more gold, both from farms and Kills, but this isn't true because his stats indicate he didn't farm correctly, and that he KS a lot (look at damage dealt to kills)

18 jg creeps on a JG is not an S rating. No matter what your KDS is, especially since you don't even have the damage dealt that reflects that KDA. Remember you're being compared to the average sion JG in your elo.

It grades you in terms of how you do compared to the average score of that champion per game. Let's say the average score for teemo is 5-4-8 & 100 cs. Depends on how many kills/deaths/cs you have you'll be graded differently. People saying you need to be playing carry champions? No I got a S+ on my first ranked Janna game and even a S or S- maybe on Nami after a few games, and I don't even main support. I'm only in B2 rn as well, not like I'm Fakerlift or something.

I wish they'd give some indicator as to what needs improvement. The only thing is maybe place more wards. Just get into the habit of using that trinket.

You you werent able to get S because of low farm and it sucks because as jungle you sometimes have to give up farm in order to help the team

Try getting S ratings on Bard.

Agreed. Mastery should be about:

  • how much you played a champ
  • how well you do with that champ

Not about:

  • How much money you have
  • how much ip you have (once you can buy shards with ip)

I would like an ip sink as I nearly have all champions, but this is not a place for it as ip has nothing to do with mastery.

The blue essence requirement should be changed to mastery point requirement. Riot seriously failed to deliver on this one. People complained about it the moment it entered PBE, yet, it went through. Worst thing is, it's way harder to revert something like this than a messed up champion/item. There's just no way going back now.

You don't need chests or keys to get mastery level 6 or 7.
