Players of League of Legends strongly criticize the new mastery emotes. They complain that they look like cheap designs from mobile games
. MeinMMO reveals what lies behind the new criticism of LoL.
Which feature had its design changed? Riot Games introduced a new design for the champion mastery emotes. The mastery system is set to be revamped to enhance the player experience and better acknowledge your achievements. New designs are also expected to come.
However, the players of League of Legends are dissatisfied and criticize the new design.
Players Hate the New Design of Mastery Emotes
What do the players say? Players expressed their dissatisfaction on platforms like Reddit, praising the old mastery design as iconic
and suggesting to simply expand it instead of introducing a completely new design.
We summarized a few comments from Reddit about what players think of the new design:
- BeMyWard writes: “Am I the only one who thinks it’s ugly? It looks as detailed as a cheap mobile game.”
- Cobiuss_NA:
I don’t like it. Overdesigned and gaudy.

I don’t understand why they feel the need to change it completely. The old mastery symbol is iconic, and nothing new they come up with will be better. They should just add more colors and slightly expand it.
What else is planned? At the beginning of the year, Riot Games announced that they are tweaking the mastery system and want to improve it overall.
Here are the main changes at a glance:
- Real achievements: Mastery should represent real achievements and not just reward continuous playing.
- Continuous improvement: Players should always be able to strive for higher mastery, and the system should reflect these aspirations.
The cap on mastery levels has been lifted, and players can now raise their level indefinitely – no longer just up to level 7. A new mechanic called ‘mastery tokens’ replaces the old S-rank tokens and represents certain achievements with a champion.
More about the mastery system and how to earn mastery tokens can be found on the official League of Legends
website.
When is the update coming? The design of the mastery emotes as well as the planned changes are still in the development process, which suggests that the current design may not be final. It remains to be seen whether Riot Games will take player feedback into account.
What do you think of the new designs? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
