Climbing the ranked ladder kind of pointless since we have rank 7 mastery?

Why get plat or diamond when i can just get rank 7 on my favourite champions.

Most games i see in normals if a platinum or diamond player loses to a silver player that high rank player will get mocked by his own team or his opponent.

3 of my friends are in those elos and if they lose a match or lose a lane they get criticised. Only one of them gets offended by this.

I know this isn't a popular opinion but its something i want to address that ranked (to me and maybe others) is pointless now that i have these rank 7 mastery champions.

I hardly ever play ranked.

Maybe with ranks 8 to 10 riot should allow them to be only obtainable if you get S rank or S+ rank in ranked mode only.

Do you think rank 8 to 10 should only be achieved in ranked?

because the mastery system doesn't show skill, the ladder does. You could play 800 games of Fiora in bronze and get a lucky S a few times to get mastery 7 but still be a bronze Fiora player.

I don't know the point of mastery were to show you just had experience playing them. It doesn't necessary mean you're any good. Someone in bronze 5 with no mechanical skills or knowledge about the game (no offense to anyone who reads) can have master 7 or 10. Meanwhile a person in masters might not have a single mastery 7.

Might be cool to have harder requirements to unlock masteries but they are just a niche appeal.
