So before the patch I had no masteries, since I got the God Pack fairly early and have played a little bit of everything (seriously, if its not an assassin, I probably have at least one point in it) Now suddenly I have five! And 4 are 2 wins away.

So what do you guys think of the new system? If you were to compare it to the old system how would you compare them in terms of Mastery lvl 1 to adept and such?

I don't like it. I already thought 100 worshippers for mastery was a little low. I know I haven't come anywhere close to mastering a god after that amount; it's usually somewhere around 300 where I feel confident. That said, that's mostly just my problem with the concept of mastery. By 100 worshippers you probably know what you're doing, not more or less.

50 is just nothing; a few games with the new worshipper system. I have mastery in gods that I played on free rotation a long time ago and not since. I wouldn't touch them in any game where I cared about the outcome. It feels like a setup where everyone can get a trophy. Either make it indicative of how many gods you played to a good level or don't.

I don't like it either...I think they are making it all more complex than needed.

The only 0-99 = Unranked, 100 = mastery...worked fine. The original system coupled with the new worshipper system should be good. My only rant with the old system was that it was so tedious to get worshippers because you had to get lucky and get a good team that could actually win.

I really think they should have kept 100 (already somewhat low) as Mastery 1, and instead simply allowed acolyte (or whatever the hell 50 worshipers is) into the league system. But at the end of the day, it's just semantics and the end result is 50 worshipers to get in versus 50 worshipers to get in, as Hi-Rez would very likely have simply chosen a lower rank as the access-point even if they had not changed its name.

Maybe it's for upcoming game modes that require mastery lvls to use a god. Maybe they'll have a real pro mode where you need to be 5 mastery to use in the game. maybe... IDK

I'm just glad they changed the rate at which you earn Worship. So sick of only earning 1 worship ever time I lose in Arena.

Definitely a lot less challenging to master a god. When I was trying to master a god in the older system, I definitely had to spend a lot of time with that particular god, thus getting more and more comfortable using him and knowing when to take certain risks and when not to.

Though, that being said, I honestly don't care. Doesn't really affect me much, considering I'll still be working hard to learn gods well enough to be comfortable with them. This just means I get a higher number to show off at a faster rate.

It's way too low . Now that mastery level on one's loading card means almost nothing .

I had 17 mastery level before the patch and I saw I have 19 after the patch ( Zeus and Ra) and 20 now since Kali needed only 2 worshipers .

I definitely preferred the old system , while I was making my way to rank 1 I also had more time to teach that specific god's strong and weak points .Rank 1 on a god is not enough to actually master the god , but you get the least idea of how to play that god .
