RANKED GAMES: Add Higher Requirements To Join

Beer Gut Gragas·Nov 3, 2014·2 votes·822 views

There needs to be a much more strict policy on who can begin playing ranked games.

For example, no player should seriously be able to begin ranked games unless they own at least 90% of the champions and have played at least 10 games on each of these champions to understand their play style, weaknesses/counters and strengths which you need to know to play at the ranked level.

There are reasons why people say Bronze forever. If one of your accounts ends up in Bronze, give up your aspirations for making challenger or above because you will be stuck in bronze FOREVER. The reason being is that people do not meet the aforementioned criteria and to make things worse, it is full of trolls there just to ruin everyone else's time.

I hope with some positive criticism in the following posts that we can all agree on a revamp to the ranked system restricting "Newb Players" and Trolls from entering any ranked games if they do not meet the criteria.

It is obvious that players who cannot meet the criteria of owning at least 90% of the champions and having played 10 games + on each of them are not serious about the game and do not have a substantial understanding of it either. As such you can remain in normals where you belong and stop ruining games for people trying to improve their rank.

This will allow you to better yourself in a less time consuming unranked game where you play among your piers and gain more IP since ranked games with champion selection/draft/ban phase is more time consuming than a normal team builder game. By all means, accrue the number of Champions required and meet the new standards if and when they are ever put into place and join the ranked battlefield.

However you need to understand that Ranked games are not just for fun, they are for position/prestige and people are there to win. If you are there just for fun and want to "Do what you want because I am not the boss of you etc..." then you do not belong in ranked games. Communication is key in a real game and replying with,"You aren't the team captain" when someone asks for an assist on a target or to stop focusing the tank and focus the ADC like anyone should know, then you do not belong in ranked games.

If by some means this system is not plausible and people do not support it, AT LEAST Support a system where you can reset your Provisional 10 games after a few months to restart your 10 games which would allow you to place higher in rank so you can escape bronze where players will drag you down to ELO hell for eternity.

No ranked unless a person owns 90% of the champions in the game? Are you out of your mind?

Umm i was in bronze both last season and this seaon. Last season I made it to silver and this season I'm in gold. So I think your requirements are a little outrageous as well. 90% of champs? Uh no way to much and would cause a huge exodus from league.

Maybe you should just get better and stop blaming others for losing. Only those who don't belong in bronze get out.

90% of champions

go look at the people who are challenger with 1 champion

also do you seriously have the time to play 1080 games just to get into ranked (this is assuming no new champions)

if you do

i commend you

#! No they do not have 1 champion, #2 You are not talking about anyone except a smurf account. #3 That does not relate to this issue being that pros can take a new account, win the 10 provisional games and go straight to plat+ with relative ease.

Please re-read and be more mature next time. As each new champion comes out people do indeed play them at least 5 times each to get a feel. It is not asking much except those who are new who need the experience anyway.

Ranked is for serious players, not casual players as you have just demonstrated, you are a casual player and thus should not be playing in ranked games.

1: Yes, they have 16 to get into ranked. No, they only play 1 of them.

2: Nope

Dem smurfs?

3: of course a pro can get to diamond: they play this game for a goddam living. Look at the ranked 5's ladder: the teams with pro players dominate those without, that's just how the game works.

4: Can you prove that the 27 milion players who play league have all played Azir or Velkoz 5 times? Or hell, even every single ranked player?

5: Insults get you nowhere.

6: Can you be absolutely sure that this isn't a smurf account that is level 30? You can't prove that I'm actually a casual player.

Nothing in your reply contradicted anything I said. In fact, most of the information you are spouting is incorrect and completely speculation especially being that if anyone played 1 champ in ranked and it got banned, they suddenly dont play?
Like I said, the only people who pass the 10 provisionals and get into diamond are people who are good enough to do so and started a smurf account for the purpose of doing so. People who are already stuck in bronze because they have been playing for a long time and did ranked games before they became pro, are stuck there because of trolls and newbs.
So no, it is simply diamonds making smurfs to get into diamond instantly, not someone who started in bronze getting into diamond. It is quite literally a near impossibility for the aforementioned reasons.
Can you disprove it?
I never insulted you. If you took offense, that is your own doing.
Your statements show you're a casual player, it was based purely on your uneducated assumptions of how things must be and not on facts.
