It seems every game that I play there's at least one person who has literally never played that champ before, and yet they are 'breaking them out for the first time' in ranked.
Should Riot limit ranked play to champions the players have attained a certainly level of mastery in?
Do you think this would help overall with ranked play?
venomous frost4 votesThen you would need atleast 16 level 5 champions to be able to play ranked
And not that many people have time to play regularly, people have jobs, studies, etc...
so no
BeatzBoyFTW2 votesAnother problem is that this will also promote these jerk-ass "I ONLY PLAY TOP SO I ONLY MAIN TOP LANE CHAMPIONS" attitude.
Autofilled to support? Hello, Camille.
Lexyy1 votesWell that would keep people out of ranked until they actually start to understand the game.
venomous frost1 votesThat's just a vague concept
To gold player standard, your silver 5 rank means you don't understand the game. To a diamond standard, I don't understand the game ...
Getting to level 30 is plenty of time to understand the game. Some people will never be good, some climb naturally.
Lexyy1 votesYes, I don't understand the game like a diamond player.
But imagine how low of a knowledge b5 players have if a silver player knows they're bad. I used to play against them, and trust me - I've seen people who go against all ap team and dont know they should build mr - that's the kind of lack of knowledge I'm talking about, and that so basic.
I'm not talking about climbing, i'm talking about basic stuff about the game, and what works and what doesn't.
DrCyanide3 votesFYI: with such a system you are not ready for Ranked. You have 13 champions at Level 5+ of the required 16 (or 20 when we get to 10 bans).
Lexyy1 votesFYI I never said I want that kind of system :) But if that was required, I'd have 16 5+ lvl champs in no time. Don't worry about me honey. :*
ZephyrDrake2 votespeople will still suck with the champion and still will have no idea what they are doing with it.. It's already annoying enough to get multiple lvl 5 mastery champions specially for those who only have enough time to play maybe a game or two a day or every so many days
I Snipe I1 votesYes, but only if they remove levels 1-30 and make it so that you're required to have mastery 5 on 16 different champs instead. Not level to 30, get mastery 5 on 16 champs too. Too much.
Dynikus1 votesYou're going to have level 30 a long time before you have mastery 5 on 16 champs. Say it takes 20-30 games on SR to get mastery 5, that's a minimum of 320 games. It only takes about 150 games to get 30. It's still a bad idea either way, level 5 mastery means nothing. You can have a 0% winrate on a champion and have a level 5 mastery. Hell, I don't even have 16 champions with level 5 mastery.
Valderis Vandala1 votesThat will probably just lead to more boting in normal games or aram.
grug1 voteswhat a joke
several players frequently lose games on their level 5+ mastery champs daily
Aptest1 votesno. I think this proposal is fucking stupid.
dominusx1 votesyeh my mastery 4 renekton is sitting at that 100% winrate too bad im not mastery 5 with him so i suck. boy..
JamesTheMage171 votesI only partially agree with this. It should be mastery 2-3 so we know that they aren't trying that person out for the first time but still have somewhat knowledge and skill on them without wasting their time to get them up to 5.
Kempachi Taichou1 votesYES!! Too many first time this or that.... If not 5, at least 4....
ned the kled1 votesNo.
PhDs Nuts1 votesAnd then you get autofilled to an off-role and have to play a shitty champ for it because it's your best Mastery 5 available.
DrCyanide1 votesFYI: you would be ineligible to play Ranked, as you have only 11/16 required champs at level 5+.
Champion "Mastery" is a measure of how often you play a champion, not how skilled you are with them.
