The League of Legends 14.10 patch introduced a new system called the Marks of Mastery along with Champion Mastery.
These two systems combined are designed to show how proficient you are with a particular hero in the game. While playing with a particular hero can increase your Champion Mastery for it, you can also increase this rating by using Marks of Mastery.
So how do you earn Marks of Mastery in League of Legends?
How to earn Marks of Mastery in League of Legends
The only way for you to earn Marks of Mastery in League of Legends is by earning high scores while playing Summoners Rift and Howling Abyss.
Depending upon your performance in these games you’ll receive ranks which will determine whether you earn Marks of Mastery or not.
The highest grade that you can receive is S+ while the lowest grade that you can receive is D-. If you receive the S grade or higher, you’ll receive a Mark of Mastery.
When it comes to rating your performance, the developers won’t only look at how you play with a particular hero in a particular role, but it’ll also compare it to how other players in the region have played with that hero in the same role.
Here’s a table that will tell you the number of Marks you need to upgrade your hero level in League of Legends:
| Mastery Level | Marks Needed |
|---|---|
| One to four | None |
| Five to nine | One for every level |
| 10+ | Two for each level up |
To simplify, Marks of Mastery can be considered as a currency that you can use to upgrade your Champion Mastery, and show off your achievements to the rest of the world.
That sums up everything that you need to know about the Mark of Mastery systems in League of Legends. This is a brand new system, and will need players to put in some elbow grease if they want to prove that they’re really good with a particular hero.
