A better solution to disabling new champions in rank

Make playing them requiring at least mastery level 4-5, and unbannable in normal drafts. This way, riot collects sufficient data to assess the strength of the new champion (s) and ranked isn't ruined by "hurdurddurd first teim" shenanigans.

If you require level 4 or 5 mastery to lock in a champion you prevent trades unless both parties have the champions at level 4 or 5. Not a particularly great solution, given that you're often trading outside the role you play.
