Using mastery is BM, sportsmanship and taunt. Every player who earned it should use it however they like. So no counter.
so i can't flash my lvl4 mastery as mao by w'ing in the middle of yi's q right before the damage happens? [zombie-brand-mindblown]
I'm not sure if /ignore stop the mastery spam, but either way it's more of a personal issue. I love spamming my Mastery Emote when I Flash into a skillshot that otherwise wouldn't have hit me or Tumble into a hook as Vayne. It's all about perspective and how you view it - if the Lee Sin Q -> Q -> Ward -> W -> Flash -> R's my carry into the enemy team, I feel that he earned the right to spam that Mastery Emote. He put quite a lot of time and effort into earning that and practicing those mechanics and it paid off for him. Usually players seem to get the most "tilted" when it's an RNG factor or someone like Malzahar uses his Mastery Emote when he R's you knowing there is little to no counterplay without a QSS or your team peeling him off of you. Spam your Mastery Emote back (Ctrl + 6), there's nothing stopping you from doing it - provided you have the Mastery yourself.
You can also Taunt/Joke/Dance etc. (Ctrl +1-6) to give the enemy team a healthy amount of BM back or to show good sportsmanship between players. In a battle of wet noodle tanks (think Nautilus vs. Maokai) it's always fun to dance back and forth or cancel autos on one another as a friendly gesture of BM, since you know damn well that neither of you are going to kill each other smacking away for 20 minutes.
A lot of any competitive game or sport is getting into the other player(s) head to give yourself a advantage. Mastery Spam does it well.
They're not going to, because just like emote spamming, mastery spamming is the only unbannable method of telling your enemies to kill themselves/get fucked. There is not a single scenario when the enemy will kill you, and then flash mastery, in a non negative context, because they do it specifically for the unsportsmanlike intent to tilt you.
Just one of many hypocrisies from Riot.
I only flash it when I die doing something really stupid.
