Sick and fucking tired of people being allowed to first time champions in ranked.

Seriously though, why hasn't then been addressed yet? Because it would fuck up champion select with trading picks? There's a simple solution: If you're going to trade champions and the player has never played that fucking champion before, the game should instantly dodge. This isn't competitive by any fucking means, even in plat 3 MMR.

This is just a serious joke, it's borderline trolling and ruins the game for everyone else on their team. My entire team was legitimately bitching at her because she didn't know what the fuck her abilities did, she was actually sitting under tower level 1 reading them. The reason I know this is because she blatantly told us lmao.

It would be a nice quality of life change if they made it so that you require something like at least 5 games played with a champion before you can play it on ranked. Then to unlock ranked you need to have 5 games played with 3-5 different champions whom typically play different roles (different lanes: jungle, bot, support etc.) This way when you are in ranked you can still play something else if your pick is banned, or you dont get your role.

I think this will improve on the aspect of people first timing champions, especially new ones in ranked and doing poorly. It would also sort of force (in a positive way) lower elo to get better by understanding the kits of more champions, and the functions of different roles. I would personally love to see a change like this.

That would mean you'd need 5+ games on 20 champions. As someone who only plays 4 or 5 champions in Ranked, I'd hate the prospect of having to play 80 or so games on champions I will never play just to que for ranked.

I'm pretty sure you'd have more than 20 champions level 1 or higher before you start with ranked, though.

KVbqbFsC8e2 votes

Perhaps for new players, but I've always leveled with the same 1 or 2 champions on new accounts.

If you don't smurf, you'd have more than 20 champions level 1 or higher before you start with ranked, though.

This is an excellent idea! I've been saying we need something almost exactly similar to this.

To prevent people from spamming out games to get to ranked, I think it should probably be like "get to level 2 or 3 on 3 champions from every role to access ranked" because personally I think players should have at least a few comfortable picks in every role before they even LOOK at ranked

(Seriously. I'm getting tired of these fuckers who have like 3 total champions they're comfortable on and they're all assassins. Then they get auto filled and just tear a team apart with fucking zed support or some crap.)

My champion pool is as deep as it gets (which is why I've never touched plat without 1tricking xd) so pls no

Honestly, they could just add a system that locks a champion from ranked until it's played at least 5 times in normals or something simple

I have an even better idea. You can only play a champ in ranked if u got at least an A- with him in a Normal.

Stop trying to punish everybody just because you got a potato on your team. It's not like this happens very often at all.

Acting like this player wouldn't do equally as bad on any other champion is ignorant. Most people that manage to get 10 deaths aren't "one in a while" events. It's usually pretty consistent because they, THE PLAYER, lack map awareness or laning prowess and will die consistently to things regardless of what champion they play.

Well that's actually totaly false. Every single Time i got this "so fucking Bad player" in my team and I look his match History I ususally can't find a parttern.

What if they get autofilled? What if they haven't played the champ in a while? What if the champs they did play all get banned? What if they only play ranked?

By not allowing new champs to be played, you are seriously damaging possible team compositions.

  1. pick a champion you're comfortable with and you played with a few time
  2. OP said first time
  3. no one REALLY only plays 1-2 champions. sure they can ban your 1 trick but you still have other options.
  4. ? that's no excuse LOL

By preventing people from trolling your games, you stand a better chance winning than getting trolled.

I dont understand why you wouldn't have mastery 7(or equilvalent experience) on a champion before taking it into ranked.

Like you guys are all trolling, then complain that you can't climb or some bs like that

the first two top comments sound ridiculous.. How tedious it would be to have to play games on a specific champion in order to use them on ranked. That suggestion will NEVER come to life. It's honestly terrible.

Yes it sucks when people first time in ranked. That's quite literally the fault of the player. Even so, first timing a champion has nothing to do with the amount of times you die (more specifically with positioning). I can first time a pick and still die significantly less. I think this case has more so to do with the player's awareness on top of not knowing what they are doing.

When I first started playing Asol, i sucked at his play style.. didn't know i was a godsend roamer. I didn't die consecutively though. I just wasn't good, so i died in some cases at the faulty of not being good, but not because of my map awareness, which means my score wasn't ridiculous like 13 deaths.

I'm not sure what could fix that issue, but limiting your champion pool because you didn't play x champion for x amount of games sounds absurd.

There are many things that certain players do which are incredibly annoying.. All of which would be nice to see change on, not in a limiting way though. And.. the desired change for certain player behaviors won't always be easily resolved in a convenient and healthy way.

it sounds absurd to have actually played the champion that you went to the store yourself to buy with your own ip and clicked accept?

just play them once or twice in normals after having bought them sounds absurd?

when you put it like that does it really sound so absurd?

in my opinion its absurd to buy zoe on release, and have your first game be in ranked which affects other peoples lp.

stop with this retardness rules like this and the ban system and other idiot shit is the reason this game is not appealling anymore we can't fucking talk in chat, nobody can even tell a joke, no one has fun anymore, we're not fucking robots

How about you can only use mastery 5 champs and above on SR (ranked and draft) but only get mastery points and tokens via TT and ARAM. This way you have to have a lot of practice on champs and other champs/team fights.

This season the only real way to climb that I've found is you have to use op.gg alot. When you go into a lobby, highlight everything thats there where it says "player has joined" and copy paste it into op.gg. Since bad players are having a lot higher an impact on game due to snowball meta, it's become way more necessary than b4. And you'll find alot of your loses from one super bad player, their op.gg would have stuck out like a sore thumb and it could have been avoided.

Also probably alot to do with how this season fking sucks and is demoralizing so many plats aren't try harding for diamond anymore because games are a dice roll half the time.

VermillionWolf1 votes

Yes but it should only dodge at the end. In case you picked a champ for the sake of swapping.

I think you should have a mastery level 4 or 5 first before people take that champion in ranked.

Leetri1 votes

That would remove like 90% of the ranked population. Do you honestly think that many people have mastery 4-5 on at least 20 different champions?

Seriously though, why hasn't then been addressed yet?

Because even if they DID play the champion a few times, enough for Mastery 1 for example, that doesn't matter at all if they haven't played them in weeks/months or they were never even good with them the times they did play them. This is just a repeated full-circle premise of, "My team sucks and doesn't play how I want them to."

Yes- they're dumb for doing it. They're just as dumb if they counter-pick a champion they've rarely used rather than a champion they know very well. They're just as dumb if they pick an "OP" champion without knowing how to abuse it. Mastery 1 isn't going to change that. Mastery 5 isn't going to change that.

It's a team game and you're dependent on your team- at some point you need to get over that. If you wanted a game where you won't have to suffer for other's mistakes- the MOBA game is not what you're looking for.

At the end of the day we should be able to police ourselves on what champions we can bring into ranked and perform well with.
