Revise criteria in order to get into ranked games.

Most of us have probably encountered this situation more often than not whereby unskilled player or "trolls" join a ranked game and ruin the entire experience for the rest of team.

There must be a better way to ensure that unskilled or troll players can be weeded out. The current criteria of having 16 champs and level 30 doesn't seem to suffice.

Some ideas that came up were:

500 total wins in 5v5 normal games
10 champions must have more than 50 wins each

Poll Question: do you think the current criteria in order to get into ranked games should be revised ?

Thanks silent

How about finished Rune pages of the first two you begin with for starters.

slightly too strict but it needs to be more strict than it currently is.

I never understand these posts. So please clear something up for me if you can. If these people are as bad as you say (and I'm not saying they are better) they would be in low bronze. Meaning if you happened to play a match with them, mathematically you have a better chance for them to be on the other team. Because there are 5 randoms on the other team, and only 4 on your team. (taking into account you being better than average at whatever league you are in) So in fact these "bad bronze" players (again) mathematically should lead to you rising easier.

Hi Retillin,

I can't say mathematically, that changing the criteria will help me move up or help anyone else for that matter, but if it keeps the "unskilled" players out so that the rest of us who are serious about moving up the ranks and have a better experience, I for a change in the criteria.

I can't count anymore the number of time I was in a solo/duo ranked games whereby I was teamed up with at least one person who doesn't know how to play his/her champ and the game went to the other team. Other times there would be people who join a ranked game with a champ they have never played before.

Thanks for your feed back. :)

Well here's the thing Buddha. We don't get to see the person on the other team that doesn't know how to play their champ, or won't talk with their team, or toxic, ect...

We only see "unskilled" players on our team. But by the law of averages, there are more of them on the other team. (assuming again you do well in a game) Just looking at your last 10 games, try warding more. If you have 75 gold left after backing, get a ward. I see you only use the yellow trinket. Switch to red as a jungler (or support). Or upgrade it to the Greater Vision totem on those roles. But if you are a top lane/adc go with the blue trinket, especially after 9th level when you can upgrade it. But no matter what, try to place a ward about every 2ish mins a game. (less early and more late) Those wards alone will end up doing more for the team than most people notice. (hidden power)
