Champion Mastery

Champion Mastery is a progression system that tracks a player's fitness and experience with each champion. [1] At the end of each game, players receive a rating that scores their performance against the entire player base in that respective champion and position combination. . These ratings then translate into a score that accumulates over time, eventually unlocking new levels of champion mastery and style as the player progresses through the system.

The system was added in NA in V5.6, eventually to all servers by V5.8. Champion Mastery is free to all players, The Eternals was later added as a premium Champion Mastery system.

Riot's official support page for Champion Mastery can be found here.

Description

Eligibility

The player is eligible for Champion points (CP) When you have at least summoner level 5, these are obtained in matched games of:

• PvP  Summoner's Rift (Hidden Selection, Recruitment, Ranked)
• PvP  Howling Abyss
• All  Modos de juego destacados ([[File:Plantilla:Tip data/Ascension|20px|link=Plantilla:Tip data/Ascension]][[File:Plantilla:Tip data/Ascension|20px|link=Plantilla:Tip data/Ascension]][[File:Plantilla:Tip data/Ascension|20px|link=Plantilla:Tip data/Ascension]] [[:Plantilla:Tip data/Ascension|Ascension]],  Ultra Rapid Fire, [[File:Plantilla:Tip data/One for all|20px|link=Plantilla:Tip data/One for all]][[File:Plantilla:Tip data/One for all|20px|link=Plantilla:Tip data/One for all]][[File:Plantilla:Tip data/One for all|20px|link=Plantilla:Tip data/One for all]] [[:Plantilla:Tip data/One for all|One for All]], etc ...)

Degrees

After an eligible game, a given player receives a rating based on their performance compared to all other players in the region who have played the champion position combination (for example, Vel'Koz lane  bottom lane will only be compared to other players in the bottom lane of Vel'Koz). [2]

Ratings are issued per match, a higher rating is worth more champion points. The possible grades are (from highest to lowest): S +, S, S-, A +, A, A-, B +, B, B-, C +, C, C-, D +, D, D-.

Notes:

• While you are ranked compared to "all" players in your region, the ranking system is not affected by your matchmaking rating (MMR). Note that it is still possible for low-rating players to consistently get S + if they are really good with a champion. [3]
• Performance uses a combination of basic in-game metrics that Riot is confident cannot be abused through means such as AFK farming or spam protection. [4]
• Riot will not disclose the exact factors that determine the ranking to prevent players from attempting to play with the system. [5]

Champion Points

Champion Mastery is currently distinguished into 7 levels, the first 5 of which are achieved at the champion point thresholds. While a higher rating is worth more points, the number of points earned is also influenced by team performance and group size ("ready-made bonus"). Team performance "is" affected by whether or not the team wins.

Champion points are accumulated by the champion that has been played. Champion point progress is logged in the Champion section of the Collection tab. Champion Points are also called "Mastery Points".

The pre-made bonus is awarded based on group size: [6]

Levels 1-5

Champions not played are considered level 0. After playing a single game, the mastery level immediately enters level 1 and begins to advance to level 2.

The following describes the number of Champion Mastery Points required to advance from one level to the next:

Levels 6 and 7

Upon reaching level 5, accumulating champion points will no longer advance the mastery level. Instead, Levels 6 and 7 are obtained through Hextech Crafting. [7]

Earning an S grade will reward a Mastery Token- A crafting component to access the next level of mastery. These tokens just can be won in regular and ranked matchmaking games in the  Summoner's Crack.

• At level 5, receive a grade of S-, S o S + Grants 1 Mastery 6 token.
  • A maximum of 2 tokens can be collected.
• At level 6, receive a grade of S o S + Grants 1 Mastery 7 token.
  • A maximum of 3 tokens can be collected.

Notes

• Free champions can level up to level 4. After that, they will stop accumulating points until the champion is unlocked. [8]
• Champion points do not decline. [9]
• Progress will not be reset in the event the champion is redesigned. [10]
• Changing server regions will erase the highest rank earned on that champion, however, the Mastery Rank earned prior to migration will be retained.

Securities

Each champion class has names for the mastery levels.

Rewards

There are 7 levels of Champion Mastery currently obtainable, distinguished by crests. Additionally, levels 4 and above have a Mastery loading screen badge and in-game advertisement, as well as a Gesture (linked to its separate hotkey). [eleven]

Mastery Chests

See also: Honor

Chest of Mastery is a way to earn Hextech Chests by playing with different champions. A player can earn 1 Mastery Chest every 7 days, storing up to 4 slots; this counter is displayed in the Overview section of the Profile tab.

The Mastery Chest is awarded to a player who earns an S-, S or S + rating, all members of the player's pre-made party will also receive a chest. Some necessary conditions remain for a player to receive a chest.

• You are playing a champion you own.
• The champion you are playing as has not won a chest in the current competitive season.

In the Champions section of the Collection tab, a champion portrait will have an icon indicating that the chest has been earned; the floating tooltip will also display this information.

A champion becomes ineligible after earning a chest, not after earning an S rating.
