VGU: Rewarding an older playerbase

Jbels··2 votes·546 views

It's occurred to me that whenever a champion gets an update to the same scale as Sion, or Warwick, every main of that champion keeps the mastery points and rank from the last iteration of the champion, despite how nonsensical this is. It's pretty much a brand new champion. Your knowledge of the champion as of the latest iteration is as limited as everyone else who hasn't played it.

That being said, it's nice to recognize that this person was a Wariwck main before the new warwick, or with any champion that gets a VGU. I think all mastery points should be removed after a VGU, BUT everyone who reached rank 7 with that champion should get a legacy border for that champion, just like how people who bought a skin for the first time only to see it re-released after going into the vault were given.

If they decide to keep playing the champion and get back to rank 7 with it, that's cool too, because now they have two shiny things on their border

Sure, just take away my MILLION mastery points with Mordekaiser.

Not like I spent a lot of time getting this many points or anything :^)

But if Morde gets a VGU that completely changes him into a completely different champion with a completely different kit, you're not really a master of him anymore. You're a master of the OLD mordekaiser, and you should be recognized for it. But you're no longer really a rank 7 Morde in this case

The mastery points have really meant nothing overall. It just shows you play them a lot. There are still people out there that can do more with champions that many have "mastered" and they have little to no points on them, so there's no point in removing them.
