Stricter Requirements for Ranked play.

I know that some streams will probly disagree or not like this, but truth be told its needed.

The 16 champion requirement is not enough to prevent toxicity, unskilled competition and unfair match ups that are ended in champion select.

There are really two simple solutions that can work together if need be.

First I think its fair to raise the require champions to 45, or even 60. This will remove smurfs, trolls and new players. Who quite frankley may want to play ranked, but really shouldn't.

The sad part this season is being relegated out of gold 3 times. I reach a point were my MMR, is in a tough spot and it I ended up loosing a couple ranks, which Skill wise shouldn't happen. Considering I have a well above average understanding of winning games. I not only own all the champions, but have played every single one, multiple times. Itemizing is simple and vision control is a big focus of mine.

The problem is this, They might not admit it or say anything, but a lot of these weird picks people have or furthermore lack of diversity is due to a limited champion pool. So when I just dodged my last game, because the Person who was given top. Picks Ashe and her explanation is. "I only have 18 champions and there all adc's" (which isn't possible and i get that is a lie, but their is probably some truth to it.) Were kind of in a bad spot. Thats not fair to the other 4 players, just like when a someone flames a team mate and they force the person to leave. Because no one deserve that kind of abuse and i personally am spending my free time playing league, I don't want to hear people bickering at each other.(To clarify to anyone who is attempting to spin my words against me, I do not afk if someone bickers at me, if I feed, or if someone else does. When I que up I'm 100% committed to trying to win).

Riot You don't want people to get abused, I don't want to see people get abused and furthermore I'm not for anyone completely diminishing another person's worth. How do you get rid of this, put a higher restriction on champions for ranked, because 9 out of 10 ragers are playing in ranked. This abuse is almost specific to rank(More is on the line then normals.) Any hate that spreads across the client is initiated here. Thus you can have a better control of uncharacteristic behaviors and a decline of trolls by making the requirement for ranked stronger.

With that, you can also have it set so if you only own x amount of champions, then your pooled in a similar que with players around the same champion pool, and MMR. Its pretty complicated and i know I'm asking a lot here but, truth be told its a realistic solution to a everlasting problem that seems to get worse, pivot ally based on what part of the season it is. I would rather sit in que for 15 minutes, then to sit back and let someone who just made a smurf with no runes, or champions, with limited rune pages on my team. Just not, I will say that not every game is won in champ select, however a good portion definitely are.

I've proposed a way to have, stronger sportsmanship, and stronger competition.

Basically I've proposed a very simple solution to have a more competitive environment, with less

45 champions seems a little high, but definitely more than 16 should be the minimum. Maybe like 25 with at least 5 champions suitable for each role unlocked so they have someone to play wherever they go and the chances of all their champions for a certain role being banned is very low.

45? I don't fucking want to play 2000 matches before playing ranked.

45 is a little much. There is probably an easier way to restrict ranked, outside of number of champions owned. The champion mastery system that is built in to the game could lend a hand here in my opinion. Maybe like mastery 4 on a champion, and you unlock that champion for ranked play. It doesn't take too long to accomplish, and yet it means you have actually played that champion a handful of times.

sorry but you don't even use anywhere near 45 champion in ranked nor need that many in it. Hell you will still see the same amount of bad players even with that requirement. No one wants to wait literally YEARS in order to play ranked, not everyone is able to just buy RP and get champions that way. Tell me again, how will this prevent people from sucking at the game? how will it prevent toxic behavior? how would it do ANYTHING other than delay people for way too long in order to play a mode when they want to be competitive? if they are that bad then they will drop to bronze sorry to say this but your ideas are so flawed that it makes the tower of pisa seem like the straightest building in the universe
