Champion Play Requirements Before Able to Play Champ in Ranked

Professor Gee·3/20/2015, 1:08:02 AM·3 votes·711 views

I've been thinking a lot about ranked play - new and inexperienced players and how they effect ranked play. I believe it would be of a great benefit if:

  • Not allowed to play a champion in ranked games unless you played a (#?) with that champion in Normal.
  • Say 10 required games played with a particular champion before you can play it in ranked.
  • Number of plays could change based on the skill level or difficulty of the champion

I Think this would eliminate or highly reduce the amount of noobs and trolls in ranked play who constantly throw games. This will force them to practice and familiarize themselves with a champion at least before they start to compete on a ranker level -

  • AND, reduce the amount of anger and frustration caused to other experienced players.

Thank you. Comments, suggestions please.

Bronze is always going to have new players doing stupid stuff and the higher skilled you are the less you need to practice with a particaular champion, farm dont die stay with you team, quit being dumb. Pretty standard for all characters ill take someone who does those four things and never played a champ once.

I love this idea. Rito please make it happen. It could even be implemented in the upcoming champion mastery system. Play 10 norm games with a champion = achievement unlocked + summoner icon + ability to play that champion in ranked queues.

It really depends on the champion and the person. It only took me one practice game with Fizz to be able to carry consistently, but it took me about 10 with pre-nerf Tristana.

I honestly think the only champions they need to block from Ranked are champions you have not unlocked yet and (for 1-2 weeks) the most recent champion released.

Some people only have limited time and can play only about 1 or 2 games a day so this would be extremely aggravating because when I play league I want to make the most out of it and play ranked with the champ I want and no pre-reqs.
