Why not unlock icons of a champion's portrait when you reach Mastery 5 with them?

because that would make too much sense and be like nearly every other moba out there.

Smite is the only other MOBA I've seen that even has a mastery system, and theirs gives you the ability to unlock new skins (Golden, Legendary, and Diamond at 1, 5, and 10,) and I like the way that that works.

Actually Hots does this, too. At level 5, you get extra IP, level 6 gives you a portrait, levels 7 and 8 give you chroma tints, level 9 gives you more IP and a "master skin portrait". At level 10, you can unlock the Master Skin for IP.

Given previous Riot posts on the matter, I'd be highly surprised if this didn't happen by at most the middle of 2016.

i feel like mastery should go up to 10, then it would be fair, so much dedication for that champ m8

Smite begs to differ in fact you can buy god icons without even mastering them.they also have special skins for mastering gods that are free.lolz and smite just barely came out of beta

  1. Different games have different tech behind them.

  2. It's literally the most obvious joke.

ya it makes too much sense, kinda like how chroma's should have been tied to mastery as well

Yes, along with fiora's old splash art unlocked if you get lv 5 mastery with her.

I would like to see both chromas and icons linked to champion mastery. The mastery system could even be more stringent, requiring a greater number of games (or maybe even a number of games with A or above ratings) with these champions to unlock the rewards.

AbyssionKnight1 votes

Personally, and I know this is way more work than icons, but you know the dumb lcs emotes and champion mastery emote you can spam? I'd love the champion mastery one to instead display your champion, either just their face, or them giving a thumbs up or something.

As a Teemo player, I'd take great joy in killing someone with shrooms, and then having a giant smug teemo face appearing above me for a second. :P

Games ship with such actual features implemented on launch, yet we're sitting here begging/talking/thinking whatever the hell we're doing, on a system Riot's doing have-assed, over the course of all this time.

What technology? Smite allows you to buy actual skins with in game currency(equivalent of IP)on characters you've mastered since its release, HotS gives you free in game currency for leveling up AND the choice to buy skins for in-game mastery once you master a character to a certain level. Bloody retail games have done this for years.

Literally everything that's needed for an amazing mastery system is there. But no, let's get to season 6 to give a bunch of more tiers.

LoL= Oh, look! A new emote for me to spam! Yay! Oh! Another emote to spam after months of development and a new season! Every other competitor out there= Oh, look! Free skins/icons/emblems/borders/you name it, I can buy after a certain mastery for just in game currency I can earn simply from playing the game! ON RELEASE DATE!

How the fuck am I supposed to know, I'm not educated on all memes to grace creation, nor can I understand all references.

Besides, I was way too salty to care about a joke ¯_(ツ)_/¯

This made me laugh a lot more than it should have.

My Waifu Vanilla1 votes

That perfect swirl every kid dreamed of when they went to a buffet and sawthey had the ice cream machines. That mental picture was Riot's inspiration for Vladimir's splash.

John Berserk1 votes

I would be very surprised if they dont eventually. It would seem very simple to implement.

The only thing I can think of as to why they haven't yet is because they're waiting to include it as a reward for a higher mastery level than level 5 (6 and 7 are already confirmed to be in the works).

Mastery level 5 isn't all that hard to achieve honestly, and I would like for Champion portraits to represent the hard work of the truly dedicated of each Champion, not just someone who just happened to put in a moderate amount of time into them.

PeachsProperty1 votes

maybe before they re-work Urgot those who own him already get an icon for him ;)

and hope they wouldnt say this liek they did for karma (why reward "traditional" karma skin to those who bought her after u release the re-work v_v)

Mastery 10, just be patient.
