Mastery 8

SilverBIade··3 votes·3,928 views

I have realized that there has been many players with mastery 6 & 7 since the system came, It has really shown that the players have spent time on their champion and learned how to play them with excellent skill, but I don't think that's fully true for all. The requirements for them are fair but over time players just need a couple good games to get mastery 6 or 7 even though they might only be decent with the champion. I think making the requirements harder might be the way to go but adding a higher lvl mastery might be better, So i propose that there should be a mastery 8. These are my ideas on the subject:

Mastery 8

Appearance: the crystal would be a shape of a circle and have the color of white.

Requirements:

  1. The Champion has to have already a mastery lvl of 7.
  2. Receive 4 or 5 S+ to obtain tokens.
  3. Unlock with 4 tokens and 800 blue essence, champion permanent or champion shard

This is pretty much similar to the previous requirements but a bit harder to get. I think it would be cool to have something like this and giving players who have already gotten mastery 7 to strive for better performance and have another goal to achieve in each game. Also i think players should may be receive some type of reward such as a special icon, border, ward skin or skin shard/permanent of the champion.

Basically, me playing KAtarina support and refusing to teamplay AGAIN, so I can die max 2 times and get ~15 kills to get a 100% S+... I'm already annoyed at how dull it is to farm S/S+ for level 6/7... I dont actually wanna become that one asshole who farms for level 8 and ruins the game for the rest cuz of it... I mean I still play Kat support, but I dont wanna try hard for S+, as I said... it ruins the game for my teammates, just so I can have a shinier icon.

i'm not saying that all you should do is focus on trying to get a bunch of cs or kills and ignoring team play but to try improve your skills so that you can earn mastery 8. To win games you have to communicate with your team and to learn from your mistakes. This goal is for your personal skill lvl improvement. Players in high elo know what they need to to do to win games such as getting a lot of farm, participating at least 50% of the team's total kills and getting objectives. Just trying to these things that you should already be doing is what will give you that S+

Just the fact I got upvoted, which actually never happens is proof enough that I'm right...

If the problem with the matter is the fact that you think Masteries are too easy to get, shouldn't they just make them harder to get instead of shoving in a new mastery that can be obtained by nearly the exact same method as all the others? I feel as though Mastery 8 is putting a band-aid on the problem, instead of actually just trying to go and cure the wound.

That isn't to say it's not a good idea. Done right, it could make sense, but as I said, it feels more like a band-aid than a permanent solution.

I agree that what you said keimakuz and i find it that there should be a harder way for payers to get mastery 6/7. There has been some people that has mastery 7 in my games which i thought would be very skilled players but my expectations were wrong and they were the one who were doing the most poorly in game. It's sad to say but some people don't deserve their mastery and another problem is that wen a champion gets rework such as katarina from season 6, players who mained her seemed to not like and play as good as they use to with her and feel that they don't deserve their mastery 6 or 7 with her. This is one of the problems i noticed in the system. P.S. I might have another discussion on that topic.

Just because you saw someone doing poorly in one game doesn't mean you are able to tell if that player deserves the champion mastery or not. And reworked champions, well, what can you do about it? The only thing you can do is taking the champion mastery away from everyone if the champion gets reworked and they simply can't do that. You are spending resources to get that champ mastery like blue essences, getting that taken away because your champ gets a rework would suck.

i'm not saying that if a players with mastery 7 does bad in a game that they don't deserve that mastery. I checked out a player before that had mastery 7 and his past games were quite bad with the champ. It seemed that after that champ had its rework their skills were not as good as before and even though they tried to get use to it, some just give up on the champ and feel like they don't deserve the mastery for it anymore,

I am sure they will add mastery 8 in the future. I want the reward to be a customizable mastery icon with customized graphics, animation, and sound within a sizable choice of presets.

It would probably in season 8 or at least season 9 if they do release a mastery 8. It's going to be a long wait.

I think if they were to add another mastery level there should be three unique quests based on the champion and role, for example get 3 pentakills, steal 3 dragons/barons and interrupt 2 enemy movement abilities at the same time might be the three quests for an Azir, make them hard and specific, but very rewarding and honorable

If there is going to be mastery level 8, it definitely not should be achieved by getting tokens for s+ games. Let it have the requirement of having mastery 7 and then create another system to get the next level.

Like already pointed out by Kitty Katarina, that would just encourage even more players to play stuff like Ivern top lane and stuff like that, hoping to get carried by their team so they can leech the s+....

As said to the reply i gave kitty katarina, i only to it should be a goal for players to improve in their game play. The requirements for mastery 8 are just something i thought riot would be fine with. But i would agree that there should be some differences for getting mastery 8 to make a more interesting and challenging method that players would agree with as well as those who play outside the meta.

How about you can only have it on your main

SilverBIade2 votes

that's a good idea but i think they should a special mastery for only one champion that you main and you can only have it on that one champion and the only way you could have it on another is for the next season after that
