Imagine playing a plat ranked game and u feel pretty good about your self because u solo killed the enemy laner twice.But then u realise you're first time qiyana,lulu and tristana go 0/10 in lane. What can you do in this scenario? Afk or ff 15. Riot don't allow people to first time champions in ranked
Saezio5 votesBecause not being allowed to counterpick because you haven't played games on a champ in a specific account is just bullshit.
I would take a challenger player on a champ they have never even read the skills before over someone that has been gold for 8 seasons on their main every day of the week.
And if we are going to discriminate based on "experience on the champion" with the goal of "making ranked more competitive", I say lets disallow people to pick anything that they have a sub 48% winrate until they get it to 55% winrate in normals which would re-enable the champion. /s

Counterpicking means shit if you dont know why X champ counters Y champ, which your Average Joe from avg. elo wouldnt know if he 1st times a champ.
Saezio2 votesMaybe I just haven't picked that champion ON THAT SPECIFIC ACCOUNT. But I have played him tons on other accounts?
Plus, experience on a champ means fuck all.
There are tons of M7 people rotting in iron bronze and silver. I'd rather have in my team any diamond player on a champ they never played to face these M7 people any time.
If we are gonna discriminate people based on stats, I would rather see us discriminate based on WINRATE

Keiaga1 votesI first-time picked Lux, Yuumi, Teemo and Kayle all in ranked and played them one time.
I won each time.

Which means nothing.
Keiaga1 votesIt means that someone first picking a champ has about as much chance to win as that xXEpicxYasuo02 with 500k mastery points.

Except that yasuo main prolly has more consistent performance unlike a 1st time yasuo player would have. Not to mention a 1st timer will most likely get carried unlike X Champ main. It also depends on champ ifficulty. It's not the same to 1st time garen and 1st time Katarina. And ofc depends on the elo. You might 1st time some1 and do good in low elo but in mid/high elo...not so good.
Keiaga2 votesYes you're 100% correct.
There ARE plenty of conditions and that one would have to look at to see the effectiveness of choosing a champ for the first time in ranked so the OPs blanket statement of
"Riot don't allow people to first time champions in ranked"
Is pretty dumb. And wrong.
Tanky Ninja1 votesMaybe implement the mastery system into ranked requirements. For example you must have at least be mastery level 6 with the champ, with at least 6 champions, so you dont get banned out.Just a thought.

That's how you balance winrates.
