some people buy champions they know how to play and then they need a little more champions lets say 5 or something and then they just buy all the 450 champions or just 5 of them while they have no idea how to play them do you think thats alright since they already got the champions they know how to play?
I actually did that on my alts lol. I'm pretty sure it's been a thing from the moment a 16-champion restriction was implemented.
Usually a genuinely new person won't buy out the 450 ip champions and rush into ranked though. This is usually an IP efficient strategy by smurfs who main 2-3 champions to climb with.
Like for my alt, I main Karthus, Malphite, and Janna. I just buy 3 of those and the rest will be 450 and 1350 if all 450's are finished.
Personally I think it's absolutely fine. No genuinely new person will actively buy out 450 ip champions to rush into ranked. From being a new player 5 years ago, I can tell you I didn't actually dive into Ranked until 8 months post-level 30 when I felt comfortable with Veigar and Karthus.
Why not?
On a secondary account, why not. On your first account, no, you're not ready for ranked as soon as you hit 30, so why buy cheap champions just to get there faster?
Its fine and almost everyone does it when the hit 30 these days. Some guys want to get all the champs so they never really git hit by this, while other people like to just play a core group of champs and their pools grow slower. I hit 30 with a group of friends and over half of us all talk about hitting the minimum champ restriction and just spamming some cheap guys to play some rank. Lets be real, would you be a better player if you could play any role with 5 or six different champs each, yes, but you can get by just playing 3 or 5 guys and avoiding some lanes. Shock of shock the new champ select pick your lane before queuing is there to support just running down one or two roles/lanes. As the player progress though time their pool will grow and so will their experience with the game by playing rank and that is part of ranking up learning that maybe spamming one champ is not great in all comps. Just let people, do what do, and if they fail into low silver or bronze, just remember that is why its there, to be the bottom of the stack to show that you are not doing something right and maybe expanding your pool might help. Furthermore the entire question is baseless as how would you ever discourage this, set a total cost minimum restriction to enter rank, I can just here the cries of people complaining about how riot forces them to grind for expense champs just to get into rank "oh I just love playing champ x, y and z why does riot punish me by saying I need to buy some more expense guys". If this is a personal question of should you just fill out your pool and play some rank, then yea, spam some 450 get into rank and have a good time, who cares if you hit that million to one roll where your left with only one or two champs to pick, get some game experience in the more serious "lol" serious side of league. Having the right champion will not save you if your clueless on what to do.
wait, 450?
I just pick the ones that look cool or i am good with
