First Time Champ In Ranked

In all honesty, I'm fed up with this season. I'm fed up with people first timing these champs in ranked. I don't care if they do well or not it's ridiculous. Riot should be implementing a block on anyone trying to first-time champions in Ranked. I don't care if you're smurfing. That's the exception based on a single person, not a bunch of griefers I keep seeing.

Everyone should have champions locked in ranked unless they reach a certain mastery with them. I'm tired of getting griefed with people who decide in Champ select "Oh we lose this I'm not dodging I'll just go Yasuo top I don't play him it won't affect me to have 0% w/r with him".

Or the 1st time Pyke "Oh Pyke is OP he destroyed me the last 4 meetups so I'm going to play Pyke now cause I'm tilted and proceed to miss all my skill shots."

Get on this. It needs to be implemented everyone should be going to Normals to first time champions NOT Ranked. It will result in less trolling and at least they can learn before affecting other players LP.

Perhaps for the smurfs allow a bonus system where if you continuous win games such as after 3 wins in a row you begin to start getting Bonus Mastery points and resets once you lose.

Stop worrying about others, and just focus on your self in ranked. You'll be happier and have much more success.

tbh, people have been first timing in ranked since the beginning of LoL. Hell, when Thresh first dropped, I was drunk af, first timed him in ranked, and decimated the enemy team...then they moved his on-hit from Q to E and I couldn't hook and half shot as effortlessly, but when he first came out, I was a god with him. Now I'm more like mediocre.

The only thing that's changed between then and now is that now you can see that they're 0MP and first timing it, and already tilt yourself.

I had a 0MP Aurelion SUPPORT a few games back. We lost, but this guy outdamaged our mid laner and had more overall...everything really...than both freaking solo lanes.

Mastery doesn't dictate games. PLAYING THE GAME dictates games.

It's even more fun, when streamers and pro players are trying out a champion in ranked for the first time, and did not read any of their abilities until they are in game

As long as you know what a champions abilities do, and know what to max/build (which you should pretty much as soon as seeing a champs numbers) it's not a problem.

Long time ago, but I remember both Elise, and Rammus I picked up in ranked having never played them before, and went roughly 12-15 wins before losing a game on either. Carried me through ranks very rapidly just because they were strong af at the time played them.

Hell, recently I randomly picked up both Orianna, and Syndra, having never really played them before. I am currently 9 games 67% winrate on Ori, and 5 games 60% winrate on Syndra. (By comparison my Lux winrate is apparently 64% in 14 games, who I have 300k+ mastery on)

Yas/Riven/Azir/Akali/Irelia/A few others are the ONLY champs that require any real practice at all in this game. You're gonna tell me I need to play 20-30 games to press E, hover over a champion and press Q on Jax? To press W-R-E-Q on Malphite? Oh wait sorry, that's easy but I need to spend 90 hours to learn how to weave an auto between R and E /s

Most skills other than very specific tricks transfer over in this game (last hitting, macro knowledge, when to trade, etc)

I actaully agree with you. I think this is a form of grieving. You are aware that you don't have knowledge about the champ, yet you still choose to play it in ranked. I think Riot should make this reportable, for people who really want to climb in ranked.
