RANKED : AUTOMATIC BANS MASTERY LEVEL 3 and under.

plastiqΒ·Β·1 votesΒ·1,067 views

One thing I encounter a lot is players choosing champs they have no experience with and admit to it. THAT is fine no one cares if your learning a champ. But when you are trying to climb in ranked and having to play with players who clearly shouldn't be there, or admit to the team it's their first time, then that's a different story. Why should the whole team suffer because a player is learning a specific champ?

SOLUTION : BAN all player champions that are level 3 and under. If they want to play ranked then make them work for it.

People shouldn't be allowed to ruin RANKED games with champs they clearly don't know how to play. Make them learn in normal's before being allowed to bring a champ into Ranked. Maybe having to master a champ would have more meaning then just an animation they can show off after killing someone and a shiny profile badge.

ps. Why don't they make players go through a series of tutorials or custom games that teach players the basic mechanics of the game before playing ranked. The higher they climb the more difficult mechanics they teach. Like what Bronze Players should know! What you should know before playing ranked etc. Whats common with Silver Players etc.. SOMETHING please...

Just lost a promo game because some idiot had to pick Yasuo and went 1/16.

Keep in mind that Draft Pick requires you to have 16 available champions, in case 6 of them get banned and 9 more are picked. This means that adding a mastery limiter would require a player to have 16 champs at Mastery 4+ in order to play Ranked.

Main reason no, I have 100s of 3v3 ranked games. I have played a ton of games with champions that have 0 mastery because I don't get credit for these games. Unfortunately unless every game you have ever played counts towards mastery, this would be extremely flawed. Been playing off and on since season 1, and I for one do not want to have to prove I've played these champs before to play them in ranked.

Tough luck, the game changes constantly. So should the players who play it.

BluePolarizer1 votes

know what else is tough luck? being bronze. this would impact high elos way more than low elos.

There are a lot of reasons people are stuck in bronze and this is one of them. I'm simply trying to address the matter. And to bad if people have to remaster champs to get in ranked with them. It's only a suggestion don't cry over it.

Angry Monster1 votes

no the reason people are in bronze is cause they make bad choices. you limiting their choices is not going to fix the problem. I really wish people would stop trying to dumb down the game so they can excel at it.

If you can not out play/out think a bronze you have deeper problems that X champ was played.

Everything is not black and white. I strongly disagreee

Angry Monster2 votes

actually bad choices are the one thing that is black and white. league is a completely choice driven game followed by mechanic skill afterwards.

If you make a bad call but execute perfectly and still die it was a choice problem.

If you make a good call and then fail to preform it was still a choice problem; you choose to act out side of your capabilities.

Not making a choice is also a problem, this leads to inaction.

Either way you choices in game directly effect how the game is played out, in ways that most players can not even comprehend. Bronze players just make more bad choices, the only fuzzy area is which one of the 3 any one player does more than the others. Sure you can argue one is worse than another but it does not really mater cause they are all bad.

I still don't know what this has to do with players not being able to pick new champs during ranked. You MISSED THE POINT.

Angry Monster3 votes

No, you miss the point. Your are bronze not cause other people are picking champs. You are bronze cause of the choices you make in game.

lets be honest here, this thread is about how you are being held back by the champ picks of other players. You can hide behind the topic and presentation, but people can see what you are doing.

Angry Monster2 votes

So i notice this a lot, bronze players tend to disagree with me on everything. Those that climb out of bronze shift their mentality of the game and i tend to find some common ground with them.

BluePolarizer2 votes

you can take a bronzie out of bronze (with dynamic queue) but you can't take the bronze out of a bronzie.

BluePolarizer1 votes

I'm not crying over anything LMAO. I've never even seen bronze and was in silver for maybe a few weeks. You're the one salty about getting rekt in bronze by other bronzies.

People shouldn't HAVE to get lvl 4 and over to play ranked.

plastiq1 votes

WELL SOMETHING AT LEAST lV 3

Make it so that you have to have played the champion once in ranked before being able to pick it

You can lose 50 matches and still get mastery on the champion. The ranked system is for die-hards and elitists. If you don't want people who don't live and breathe LoL, make a pre-made. Pre-Mades suck cause you cant play when you want? {coughs} substitutes are a good thing to have {coughs}

If that isn't good enough for you, then you need to quit playing ranked and enjoy the other aspects of the game for awhile and mellow your ass out.

Uiraya1 votes

If you have to lose 50 matches 16 times (spoilers: that second number should also be increased) you are much more likely to get frustrated with how bad you are and quit before shitting all over ranked with your "herp derp first time" stupidity. (Alternatively, you can learn to stop blaming your teammates and buck up and actually improve, then it won't take as long.) This will improve the game considerably.

Ya think? There's a little word and repetitive habit called: #PRACTICE I have a few champs with masteries, but you don't and WILL NOT see me in ranked. Because of the following things...are my reasons WHY I will not be seen in ranked.

  1. I Lack the Attitude of an elitist scum bag
  2. I do NOT "no-life" this game
  3. I Refuse to let dumb asses tell me what I can/can't do when playing
  4. I WILL take CS...when I feel like it. a. I WILL poke the enemy, repeatedly...regardless if you lose gold or exp or KP b. I WILL roam and help drop the enemy if I am well-fed, regardless of their strength/weakness

and lastly,

#Because I give a shit about my account!

Exactly why I don't do ranked.

Lycanoon1 votes

Sarcasm or Truth? :P

Beldair1 votes

Mostly truth.

Ranked is just to toxic for me.

Lycanoon1 votes

Having a blast today with Ascension. Been crackin' skulls and mauling people with tibbers... MUCH less toxic than Ranked, any day.

Beldair1 votes

I love Ascension as Skarner XD

Them Spires are everywhere.

Lycanoon1 votes

I eat Spires for Breakfast!!!! Annie - YAY! TIBBERS! [slayer-jinx-wink]

Lets play a match together :P

Beldair1 votes

I ate a Brand for breakfast as Skarner (their team had to group in 3s to fight me lol)

Lycanoon1 votes

Its the same with Annie...I usually get ganked by 3 - 5 all the time...mainly because I go full AP with 1 Armor/HP item...and when I stun....OMG do I shred some HP off people without BV or any type of AP def.

As people have said many times before, this would raise the barrier to entry considerably. You would need 16 champs at mastery level 4 - a huge task for even a dedicated player. It's common sense not to pick a champion first time in ranked, and the vast majority of people don't.

My wife plays Leona, Sona, and Soraka a lot, while I don't play them at all. She likewise has my mains (Mid champions), although she hasn't played them. Your proposal would make it impossible for us to trade champions at all.

I'd also like to add that champion mastery is available for Featured Game Modes, and will soon be coming to ARAM. I don't know about you, but I don't trust myself to know how to handle a champion in a Ranked game just because I spammed them a lot in URF.
