Using "Total Mastery Score" to limit smurfs and/or new players in ranked.

Thinking along the lines is not hard to get 20 champs on your way of getting to level 30. Thats why i think there should be a limit of champion mastery score before you have access to ranked queue. It will also limit the amount of new players from getting level 30 and diving straight into ranked queue without a clue of what is going on making games less stressful and less toxic. Seeing how you only need 20 champs to play ranked queue i belive they should set the limit at atleast 50. Thats only 10 champs out of the 20 needed to be level 5 and making them know and learn 5 champions ready for ranked queues.

Thanks for your time -quazer

It will help with new smurfs but most will have the required score by now

Nah, people are gong to smurf regardless. Might as well get them into ranked sooner before they stomp even more new players every game. New players shouldn't be tried to be pushed out of ranked either. Let them get bronze 5 so they can realize there's more to the game than they thought and work to improve. Ranked keeps the game fun and the game should be fun for everyone including new players who just spent all that time grinding to level 30

Feel like 50 might be a bit low, since you get mastery score from simply having played a champion once on free week, but overall good idea. Maybe require mastery 2 on a champ to play them in ranked, and have a minimum number of mastery 2 champs to play ranked?

This would be really obnoxious for OTP smurfs though, forcing them to tarnish their records to so much as place.
