@Riot, can 3 S's on a Champion in a specific tier (Gold, etc) add an indicator to champion mastery?

E.g. Champion: Elise Mastery Points: 100k Mastery Rank: 7 (Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum/Diamond/Master/Challenger)

Right now, Champion Mastery is hardly indicative of a player's actual mastery of a champion. I thought Champion Mastery was going to be something meaningful. If you're Bronze with 200k mastery worth of Ranked Games on Yasuo and you haven't moved, you're clearly no better than someone with 5k mastery worth of Ranked games on him.

you say this as if gold players are any better than bronzies. sure there might be those "skilled players" who "got there on their own" but most often it's a bunch of flaming hating crybabies from the small time I spent with the lot last season.

But flaming crybabies don't usually get S's in Ranked. Flaming crybabies usually have 1 KDAs. In which case, they won't be able to get 3 S's. In which case they don't get the Gold Mastery. In which case I know that even though they have 200k Mastery on Yasuo, they're not a Gold-level Yasuo.

And guess what? When they get to Platinum, they have to get the 3 S's all over again. It's really not hard - if you're actually a Platinum-level player of that champion. I got my MR7 on Sejuani in Ranked, at Platinum level in less than 2 weeks.
