You think low elo would be less terrible if the tutorial was revamped?
Like, we all know that it's a real sad life down here. You'll just be farming in your lane, being even in CS with the enemy ADC whilst you both have no kills, because you're playing it safe!
#AN ALLY HAS BEEN SLAIN. #AN ALLY HAS BEEN SLAIN. #AN ALLY HAS BEEN SLAIN. #AN ALLY HAS BEEN SLAIN.
"Garen? Why are you 0/4/0? It's been 7 minutes." "WHY WON'T MY SPINNING KILL HIM WTF" "Why are you dying under his tower?" "MY SPINNING SHOULD KILL HIM" "gg" "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
It happens a lot. I cry at night thinking about it, because people like that legitimately exist.
What if the tutorial was better than it currently is? What if it had specific lessons for each individual champion? What if it had you practice specific combos for certain champs? What if you had to pass a "test" in order to be allowed to play the champ in ranked? They wouldn't be hard tests. They'd be common sense, so people will actually have common sense in ranked!
For example: Gangplank can be put in 3 different scenarios (which involves specifically programmed bots to perform certain tasks) that he has to overcome in a specific way.
- After getting ulted by a Sion, use W and escape before Sion hits you with a fully charged Q.
- While being chased by a Sion (just use Sion most of the time), use his barrels to successfully slow the Sion and run away.
- Land some specific barrel combos on practice dummies.
If he can do those 3 things, then great! That means he isn't just first-timing him in ranked just for "fun." In ranked. I mean, none of this would affect NORMS. But if someone passes the tutorial test, you can get a little thing on your champ icon in the Collection tab that stands for "Ranked Certified." It could go below the "Chest Earned" and "Highest Rating:" things, just to look nice.
You know how everyone complains about people taking new champs into ranked for the first time? Well, this would make that scenario much less stressful! Because they would have at least learned a couple basic strategies to use with that specific champion. Until then, here's to all the people planning to first-time Pyke in ranked!
land a spear but don't pounce in because they are grouped as 5... because u would get murdered if u did
use any one of your abilties to interrupt a mf ulti
use a ulti and
combo after spellshielding an ally
land a W on an allying doing everything in their power to try to dodge it
solo infernal drag at lvl 3
