Why I hate champion mastery.

Ñapoleoni·May 18, 2015·3 votes·733 views

So Riot released this new Champion mastery system, which is overall fine; however I hate the outcome of this BS. Every time I get into a ranked game, I have at least one player on my team who has rank 4-5 on a champion, and they in turn want to show off their shiny new badge. It is fine if they're going the designed roll for that champion, or they know how to handle the champion in another lane; however, when I see some 5th pick r%%%%% pick jungle just because she has rank 5 champion mastery, I get cancer. So please, just because you hit Rank 5 on your champion mastery, doesn't mean you can make LCS big plays as adc .

Never had that problem and chances are, they would have trolled anyway, even without having the mastery system in place.

No, like they seriously try to win. It's amazing seeing my top lane Bard going even with the enemy Darius

I don't believe that. Not that don't think they can win, but that they aren't trolling.

If your Bard is going even with a Darius in the first place, why are you complaining?

Teamfights might be a bit skewed if your team doesn't have damage in the jungle/mid/bot, but that's certainly something to behold when a Bard goes even with a top lane bully.

In even I mean it was 0/0 the hole match up. Bard was just able to sustain the darius damage, and ulted when he had 4-5 stacks of hemorage on him. The teamfights were horrible however. Bard's damage is pretty sh*t, and we had a like 3 tanks.

Blegh, three tanks is too many.

In my opinion (not including the support, since they fill a specific niche that's unique for them), a team should have a bruiser, a tank, and then two carries.

Three tanks is like three assassins or three mages. Could certainly work, but it's a bit overdoing it.

Teamfights aside, can't help but admire that Bard a little bit. Imagine if he had been playing a sustain mage or fighter ( Swain Vladimir ) tho. Probably would have wrecked.
