I'm sick of people trying to pick up and play new champions in ranked or champs that they've played just a couple times before. If you aren't familiar with a champion you should NOT be allowed to play that champ in ranked.

Assuming 1000 Points per win, 50% winrate and the 10-Ban-System already introdduced.

You'd need an ABSOLUTE MINIMUM of 480 NormalGames played before you're even allowed to join ranked Q. And Ths ONLY if you dont play a champ once after getting to 4 and you play every champ you try once until 4.

Hey, grats - you successfully invented a tool to never meet a smurf again. gj!

No for real, I hate smurfing - but this is bonkers. Playing like 1000 games before ranked. nice idea...

Just out of criosity: How many normals do you have?

Consider the implications of your idea before posting. Even if your solution solves your problem it might create new problems which are worse.

I don't really understand why I've seen a few people saying that MR 4-5 should be required to play Ranked - I can kinda see MR 6-7, but even then, that's got a lot of downsides and its fair share of technical requirements to mandate.

But, backing up, here's the biggest problem with wanting MR 4-5 as a requirement for Ranked play; Literally /everyone/ can get MR 4-5 on a champion with enough time. They could completely suck as a Champion, but still hit MR5 with enough games they piggyback on their team with. Granted, that many games would still give them plenty of time to become familiar with a Champion and their abilities, but that's not really a great thing on its own.

That aside, I don't see any really good reasons to try and raise the bar of entry to fit with the Mastery System.

And then your autofilled support is actually a jungle main, so he's stuck playing Kha'Zix or Vi because he's not allowed to play Braum or Bard yet.
