Champion mastery

I like the idea, but I feel as if it needs to be improved.

Probably my main issue with it is that rank five is that the highest rank is a little too easy to get. I don't want my favorite champs, the ones that I love playing to be the same rank as some champ I just picked up, and find fun so play obsessively for a few days (or even less time if I get a win streak). Of course, I will have more points on my mains but still, it would be nice if there were a better way to distinguish my favorites. There are probably many ways to do this, here are a few suggestions:

  • This could be achieved through a super hard to get tier that only the most dedicated will get.
  • Perhaps the tier rankings could scale with how many champion points you already have? In the sense that your champions with the top three amount of points, for example, would be the only ones awarded rank 5. Although, I think this would create more problems than it would solve.
  • Also, when I first heard the idea of Champion mastery I thought it would be something that at least roughly tracked skill. While the current system somewhat does since losses give so little points that if someone is level five chances are they win fairly often, I think this needs to be emphasized more. Perhaps factoring in winrate?

I agree it is much too easy to get. I have rank 4 after 8 games with nasus. but I don't know about it being reserved only for mains. you can master champions that you don't main.

i would like to see it be like 50 wins with that champion or something. mastery is not something that should be easy to get.

the way it is now i barely notice when one of my champs hits level 5 mastery, and when i do it doesn't really feel like i achieved anything. make it be something you have to work at.

I have to agree, every time I see one of these things now I look on it with a grain of salt. I myself have two champs with Rank 5 and that was after many, many loses and very few wins. Even sadder is the fact that I am very new, so having these attached is more like a "oh god don't let these guys report me for only being decent at a champ I like to play a lot".

That being said I agree with EL HAMSTERO and you, it would be nice to see there being something of a higher tier with harder requirements to qualify as champ mastery.

Its pointless, the mastery means nothing in my opinion, had it been a thing when the game first came out ok, but 5 years down the road?
