Id like it if the newly released champion would be unavailable for ranked for the first few days ( say a week ) just because no one wants that team mate who has no idea what theyre doing on the team .
Dataless14 votesWhat an original idea, this has never been mentioned before in the history of League of Legends.
Dr Poro8 votesI'd say put a requirement of mastery 2 to play a champion in ranked. Having 16 champions at rank 2 should be the minimum requirement to play ranked. Swapping pick order should be an option to compensate for being less likely to be able to pick a champ for your team.
Cowseed1 votesSuch sense
much reasoning
total wow
obama care
I like it
Nevrankroaton5 votesYou know what is pathetic? Banning him in normal draft.
Two days and I had either trollish teammate banning kayn when the guy wanting to play him is FIRST PICK or people banning him for the sake of it. Nobody want to learn the MU, nobody want to let everyone try. No wonder you see gameplay fill with topic about Caitlyn trap being op or how X champ is op and how X class is hated by riot (juggernaut/tank).
I had never see so much toxicity from people, and you know what people say?
"Go normal blind if you want to play him
So honestly? After having such shitty two days, I really hope he is pick in ranked and make people day terrible because when they say "Go draft", guess what, your d*ckish behavior also goes there too.
Silverjust1 votesthats why I would like it, if they disabled him in ranked and make him unbannable in normals for 3 days
Spoofghoul1 votesIt's kind of a time honored tradition within the league community to ban new released/reworked champions by now
Kinda like the annual ryze rework has become tradition too
Lawd Dawg4 votesJust had someone ban him when i hovered him in ranked...so i ban their Renekton. If you're gonna ban my pick, I'm banning yours.
DrCyanide2 votesI would ban him in Ranked even if you didn't hover him, as would many others. If you thought it was something personal that's your problem.
ChaoticPinecone1 votesNo, if youre going to ban a champion that someone else is hovering YOU caused the problem.
DrCyanide1 votesAny other Champion, or any other mode I'd 100% agree. Trying to pick a brand new, fresh off the PBE Champion in Ranked? Nah, anyone trying that has a screw loose, as evidenced by them wanting to troll when it happens.
No one should be stupid enough to try a new champion in Ranked.
Lawd Dawg1 votesThat's the thing I've played a few games to the point that even though I'm still new, i can catch people unawares with his wall ability. Plus im in bronze 5. You think people know how to play down here?
DrCyanide1 votesThe way I've heard it, people hate that there are so many idiots and trolls in Bronze 5 as is. Why, when your teammates show the slightest sign of intelligence by banning the new champion (that they don't know how to play with or against yet), would you troll them with banning a champion they actually know how to play?
If you think that Bronze 5 is a joke then you'd have no issues with playing new Champions in Normals instead.
ChaoticPinecone1 votesYour teammate tells you the champ they want and you ban them out? What kind of person does that? Thats your TEAMMATE. You need to cooperate to actually win. Right at the start you pretty much declared, "Screw what you want. You dont get to choose the champion I dont want you to play."
Youre ready to go ban-happy on anybody, even if you know absolutely nothing about the player. You have zero evidence, but youre willing to say this player has no experience, wont carry, and will drag you down? People like that have screws loose.
DrCyanide1 votesYou have zero evidence, but youre willing to say this player has no experience
This is where you're wrong. The evidence they have no experience is that the champion was just released. Anyone who has played on the PBE knows that any experience there is a joke.
ChaoticPinecone1 votesNo - its where I'm right. Cause you really dont know. You dont know how many times he played the champ on the PBE, how many games he played vs bots, how many norms, or even how many ranked games. You dont know if he sifted through dozens of youtube videos testing the champ. And likewise, you dont know how many times someone plays a champ regardless of what champ they chose. You can never ensure that guy hovering Fiora actually played Fiora before - it might be because Fiora is FOTM. You just dont know.
You just dont know. And for some reason, you think thats reason enough to troll your team by banning their pick intent.
Well - if you troll your team by banning their pick intent, you have zero grounds to complain if they troll or feed. You dont want people to troll, but you trolling is okay?
Lawd Dawg2 votesI may not have that much experience with him, but i know how to jg (for bronze at least). So its not like I'm gonna be like "hey guys how do i kill red buff" or "What's a gank?". The reason I wanted to play him was I knew no one really knew how to counter him yet. Just like when herald came out. I remember playing a game with herald and the enemy team was literally like wtf is this, hax.
Karn Bishop3 votesDelays Inevitable EVENT.
no more explanation is needed as to why this suggestion will always be a bad idea and will never magically be a good idea.
TL;DR delaying learning how to swim 1 week just makes you dead in most cases.
Cowseed1 votesThis is kinda understandable. People could get over confident winning alot in normals with the champ because of the lax atmosphere and the completely overestimate their capabilities in ranked and feed terribly.
What will probably stay the same anyways is that being as how its the first the champion is being played in ranked people will ban them regardless of mastery and/or if someone on their team wants to play them.
lolipopevelynn2 votesId like it if the newly released champion would be unavailable for ranked for the first few days ( say a week ) just because no one wants that team mate who has no idea what theyre doing on the team .
it solves nothing. people will just first time him in rank 9 days later. all it does is soft delay his launch. think about it. people are still first timing teemo, annie, amu, shaco in rank despite them being out for over half a decade.
becides, this is one of the reasons we wanted 10 bans. now that we have 10 bans shit threads like this should not even exist. just ban new champs, done.
the real fix to this problem is to just not let people play a champion in rank unless they have xx games played and %xx winrate on that champ. so someone who has 23 games on lee but and a %20 winrate then that person cant play lee in rank untill his winrate goes up to atleast %50 if its his main and %40 if its his off pick. likewise if someone has %100 winrate but only 3 games played on lee then he still cant play lee till he gets atleast 17 more games in.
this will not only fix the problem, but make rank less toxic and more competive
Sraeg20131 votesIt solves nothing. people will just first time him in rank 9 days later.
Sadly some people are mentally incapable of processing that.
Thairn1 votesThey just get banned out if your team doesn't have first pick over and over anyway
HeilHiem1 votesthe reason the newly released champions gets banned, atleast why i do it in all my games, is because that is all you are going to see for two weeks give or take a week. so i ban them so i dont have to see then in every single game and get so tired of seeing it that it makes me want to uninstall the game because people have no class or point of variety in their lives other then being sheep.
if you got the anagram good for you.

I say 2-3 normally playrate drops after the free week when everyone gets there chance unless there camille release overloaded.
Blakiepug1 votesI mean now that we have 5 bans, if you really don't want to face a new champion that bad, then just ban him.
Silverjust1 votesits more about playing with a firsttime than playing against him
Fuh Queue1 votesKayn isn't even worth a ban honestly. I have a feeling he's going to turn into a shitty version of Yasuo (very popular but banned because people don't want him in game).
All I can say is that whatever team has Kayn right now is at a disadvantage, at least in my games. I started banning him in normals because I really don't want to lose games for the sole purpose of someone practicing and feeding. If you want to test his capabilities, set up a game of intermediate bots and play 1v5. When you can win that game you can handle a normals match.
Need Gold 4 Tent4 votesit is way too easy to get fed off 1 lane and steamroll 1v5 as you push up the lanes, picking off the other laners when they finally notice there's something wrong with mid lane. And they let you land combos on them which won't happen as easily in real games. Trial by fire in normals is the best way around it.
Cowseed1 votesThis only breed toxicity, bruh. It's a tad bit understandable in ranked but still quite dickish but banning a champ in normals because you don't want them to feed is hella unrighteous.
It just being normals doesn't even mean them feeding will hurt that much because the enemy ain't even trying that hard.
Fuh Queue1 votesI should reiterate. I don't ban him away from teammates that hover him. The problem with Kayn is that he feels pretty undertuned and requires very good champion knowledge to succeed with. The whole purpose for the 10 ban system is to remove things you don't want in your game, so I usually use it on him now. At my elo, most meta picks have no meaning so you can essentially ban anything.
