[Help Center] Unlocking Game Modes - Ranked unlocked at *16* champions, not the new *20*?!

Unlocking Game Modes

Since the Help & Support staff was less than helpful summoner 3, and I still see this article get regular changes which constantly seem to overlook this issue (e.g. the KB page was last updated on Friday, yet it still says wrong), I'm making a try here instead.

From the incorrect KB article:

> Normal 5v5 Summoner's Rift (Draft) will open up at level 10 and when you acquire at least 16 champions. > Ranked Solo/Duo and Ranked Flex queues for 5v5 Summoner's Rift will open at level 30 and when you acquire at least 16 champions.


From the 7.11 Path Notes:

> Starting in patch 7.11, the ban phase for all draft Summoner’s Rift modes will feature five bans per team instead of three. We’ll be rolling the feature out to all regions throughout the patch. As a heads up, we’ll be upping the number of owned champions required to play ranked from 16 to 20.

So could someone jump on and change the incorrect "16" number to "20" already? I want to reference the KB article, but since it is wrong (and have been for almost 6 months now) I'm forced to reference the Patch Notes themselves.

In the instance that I am actually mistaken on this, please explain to me why so I know for future reference.

they just have not updated the article, you can play ranked once you get 20 champions because the ban system was raised to 10 bans after patch 7.11

Yes, I know. This post was actually to try and highlight the fact that it's wrong and have been wrong for over 6 months now. I even created a support ticket regarding it a week or so before I posted this one but that one was closed with the mention that the articles are frequently updated, so it will be changed soon enough.

Which it wasn't... >_<

And you can even see the last time it was changed:

So the damn article regularly sees changes, but NOBODY notices the inaccuracy?

Edit: It's still inaccurate, just FYI.
