What?! I lost my ranked game because someone first timed a champion on my team? What a surprise!

But of course, we need to make sure we can swap champions in champion select right! This totally isn't complete and utter bullshit, and it totally needs to stay in the game forever! It's not like Riot has one of the most successful games of this era and has a staff that is paid to fix this type of shit, but nah, let's continue allowing people to experiment with champions in ranked queue.

Honestly, though, I can say a good 20% of my losses are due to people playing champions they're unfamiliar with. That's 1 every 5 games, sometimes 2 if the day is really out of whack.

There's almost nothing Riot can do, they're at a crossroads.

Yes, they could limit champion choices based on something like mastery level, but that adds unnecessary time restraints to all players. Just as an example, let's say I play a really mean Lucian whenever my main is banned. But because I play him infrequently, I only have mastery 3 and as a result I wouldn't be able to play him in ranked.

To add to that, let's say both my main and Lucian were banned. Now I wouldn't be able to play ADC at all and I'd have to dodge or I wouldn't be able to queue up in the first place.

On the flip side, mastery levels don't reflect player skill. As a (real) example, I have mastery 7 on Poppy. I'm absolute trash on Poppy, but I could still queue up for a game with no problems.

It sucks, but honestly it's one of those "lesser of two evils" deals.

That shit of "Obey people to have mastery X to play a game Is stupid AF"

Begining with the fact that, lets Say you need mastery 3 to play a champ in ranked. That means you need to have, at least, 20 champs with mastery 3

An stupid rule like this would obligate you to play things like Yi support while autofilled Because OHHH someone in the boards thinks that you need lvl 3 mastery ti play a champ in ranked and you only have 2 supp Mastery 3, Who are banned or picked.

Oh, and forget about play a champ you play in tournaments or private games Because they dont give you mastery points, so that means that i cant play Rakan in ranked, even when I have played him couple of times in tournaments against profesional players

This without talk about Mastery lvl =/= skill lvl

Guess that After this you understood why your idea Is basically stupid

I don’t see the problem.

Have you never played vs someone who was first timing a champ? Are you even sure it was their first time? Maybe they have multiple accounts.

Focus on your mistakes instead of emphasizing your teams.
