Champion Mastery coming to live soon!

Riot·Apr 30, 2015·5 votes·74,959 views

After an extended stay on PBE, we’re almost ready to roll Champion Mastery over to live’s normal, teambuilder, and ranked queues! Here’s a quick rundown of the changes we’ve made to the system since we debuted it on PBE:

Player tooltips - Player tooltips now indicate the sum of your champion mastery levels across all champions

Participating queues - Queues now have an icon that indicates whether or not they grant champion mastery points

Ceremony - Added sound effects to end-of-game champion mastery animations

Role ranks - Champions now gain new titles based on their primary roles as you gain mastery levels (Once he hits Champion Mastery level 3, Ziggs gains the title of "Invoker" based on his primary role as Mage, for example). These titles are displayed on-hover in your Profile and Champions tabs, as well as the end-of-game Champion Mastery results display.

Check out the Champion Mastery microsite for the full story or head over to the Champion Mastery FAQ for more information! We’ll see you in a few days!

I think the new Chroma's should be a reward for Champion Mastery

KusperMay 5, 201511 votes

I think the new people complaining that another optional visual cosmetic costs money should stop trying to convince Riot to give them skins for free

Chromas are just recolors. Every champion in the game could have a chroma or 2 made in less than a week. This could make players happy and possibly stick around and PAY more for other skins than they otherwise would have. There is more to making money than simply selling something.

What do you mean by "soon" ? Next week ? Next month ?

SukishooMay 4, 2015158 votes

"soon" could mean years in riot speak

"soon" in regards to when they're gonna fix their fucking NA servers DOES mean upwards of two years

I see this comment now and again, in the forums. We (My kids and I) don't have many problem on the NA server. Considering how much I see Riot busting their asses to fix bugs and make sure things run smooth, I would have to guess that the problem is your fucking system, not theirs.

You are right about that.. As soon as I upgraded my hardware on my PC, and upgraded from XP to 8. Shit ran smooth as silk. In regards to YuckFoCouch, the only reason the NA servers are down occasionally is to perform maintenance..Like example during holidays there were a few problems with logging in and that's to be expected. Considering this is a Free-To-Play game, be happy that it's decent.

Finally, people will respect my rank for Zilean and Bard

Anakin The WeirdMay 4, 201517 votes

I don't think even this will make other people trust those champions...

Icy AuronMay 4, 20155 votes

No one has anything against Zilean, just Bard.

Big Feed MorganaMay 4, 201534 votes

I wish they'd make it so you'd have to have a certain number of champions mastered to be able to play ranked. Maybe not mastered all the way, maybe rank 6 or something. Just gives people time to learn a role and champion, and feel comfortable instead of just jumping into a match.

I know people who have smurfs may not like this idea, cause it means they'd have to play extra games in order to start ranking up... But i feel it might benefit the community more.

hamstadanceMay 4, 201525 votes

I just think that the loading screen should show the title, otherwise it doesn't have much of an intimidation effect. Which is scarier? playing Vs. a ziggs? or playing vs. "The Invoker" Ziggs?

Yes time for me to show off my vlad skills that carried me all the way to silver III from bronze I item 3151

Guys I can't wait. This is almost as awesome as the upcoming 2013 Yorick update, it's almost 2013!

ElKarlMay 4, 201518 votes

I would be really nice to had some skins like in HotS where when you reach a certain level with a champion, you can buy a "master skin" wish prove to the other team that you're good with this champ..

plebianoverlordMay 4, 201512 votes

yeah they really should've made champ chromas unlockable through masteries rather than sucking more money out of us (as if we don't buy enough RP already)

MdartMay 5, 20155 votes

i agree with this

Bush Ślut UwUMay 4, 201516 votes

Soon like that new Zac skin????

master of noneMay 4, 201514 votes

No chroma skins for Champion Mastery? And how long does it take to get champion level mastery 1.

FláreonMay 4, 20153 votes

If I remember correctly they said it should take about 20 games to get to lvl 5, depending on how well you do. So I would say it won't take too many games to get a champ to lvl 1.

ZerfallenMay 4, 20155 votes

The FAQ says 15-30 games to level 5.

On the PBE I have Ziggs at level 4 ~16000/21000 CP (It is cumulative) 10W 2L S grade is giving about 1500 CP. B grade was quite a bit less around half if I remember. (Only had two bad games so far)

Therefore I have 4-5 more games putting me at the 16-17 games mark for level 5.

Loving the possibility of Skin rewards! If you gonna grind might as well get some goodies along the way. This kinda shit keeps me coming back to this game. Keep it up Riot!
