I know this game was a loss in the end, however it is pretty sad that even when the Team was behind, me and my adc didnt feed and ended up Extremely positive.

its games like these that make me wonder. (Does this really test my skill? its apperant i know how to do my job as a support. even when behind)

I still ended up getting promoted but this game makes be abit sad. i try hard and focus on all of my games.

Shouldnt there be a Criteria for someone to do ranked?

Well!!!!

why not have Dynamic Queue (Stays the same as current only need to meet the normal Criteria to play

But also have Solo Queue (Must have 16 champions Mastery 5 to participate, Can only use Mastered Champions and have atleaste 6 days without Afking and can only Queue by yourself)

This way people can keep their precious Dynamic Queue but also we can give Solo players and People who axtually try a Queue where you dont have to deal with the average player, everyone is trying their best.

While those kinds of restrictions might be healthy for a more hardcore competitive environment, it's harsh on a lot of 'casuals'.

I'm going to use myself for an example;

  • I'll say that I'm a casual. I only play Nami in Ranked, with only rare occurrences of me picking Blitzcrank on a whim or when against Yasuo, or the one or two games I don't get Support for the whole season. Even though I have nowhere near 16 champions with Mastery 5, I don't feel I'm harming Ranked in any significant way that I need additional restrictions. I'm almost to Plat too.

  • For not afk'ing, well, sometimes it happens. AFK'ers already have their own penalties. If it isn't good enough for a competitive environment then it should simply be improved.

  • For Solo Only queuing, I already do that, but I don't personally mind premades on either side. They've got the same chance of being bad or good or toxic or positive as any solo player, and they are treated the same by the system regardless. A true hardcore competitive mode would be 5 man premades only though, as important teamwork and communication is. To me it seems that requiring solo only goes in the opposite direction we're wanting to go with these suggestions. If you read Riot's initial thoughts on adding Solo Queue, you'd see they were planning on having most rewards in Dynamic Queue because of this distinction (solo matchmaking is for convenience, basically).

TL;DR - Mastery requirements are harsh and imo mostly unnecessary. If AFK punishments aren't good enough for Ranked now, it should be improved now and not limited to a new 'hardcore' Ranked. The true competitive queue is 5 man premades, not solo.

I respect your Decision but try looking at it this way.

This in NO WAY touches your ability to go into normal Ranked Queues AKA Dynamic Queue, you can still rank up normally and you dont have to do the 16 mastery champs.

The Pantheon Queue (thought of a fitting name) is only for players who are WILLING to master 16 champions in order to grab a spot in a Queue where everyone will be trying and playing at their Best.

What im truly trying to say here is. one Queue involvs people who will either Feed, are being carried, smurfs, afk, or Toxic players. while Pantheon Queue will only have maybe Toxic, though doubtful since trolls wont be in it. And the main thing is you dont HAVE to participate in Pantheon Queue.

As for the "Working Together" instead of "Working Solo" Doubtful anyone in Pantheon Queue will have the mindset that they can carry solo. They recieved Mastery for 16 champions for Bards sake and for a reason. to get to this Queue to get serious.

Riot needs to stop giving us Rope, and just let us climb the mountain with only our bare hands and the Strength we acquired while gaining the skill to climb.

This would also Solve for Smurfing quite abit, doubtfu a smurf is willing to master 16 champs every new account they make, and if they do? well then they are willing to do their best.

Nami, please show this to a riot person, See the potential and how this could honestly solve many problems in ranked, without creating new ones at all.
