@riot Why locking summoner spells by level shouldn't have a place in league

There is no basis for locking summoner spells by level. why should i have to be summoner level 10 to ignite or jungle? there's no reason for it and it doesn't reflect a fair and even game play experience. people level 5-15 get matched together all the time. there is no reason that anyone should have to play against people with the summoner spell advantage in a competitive game you try your best to make fair and balanced.

The new player experience in general has been pretty garbage for a long time to be honest.

Being a new player is so bad in this game especially with smurfs ruining it with toxic behavior.

Not having flash at lower levels helped me learn how to position and not die more effectively.
Jungling without runes/masteries is actually quite difficult for many champs. It's also simply generally more difficult for new players. Not having the ability to take smite discourages jungling so new players dont constantly die to jungle monsters and become useless. additionally, teammates will have no excuse to force a new player into a jungle role in favor of having a solo lane as smiteless jungle is too difficult to pull off.
I have no idea why ignite is locked - this one doesn't make any sense.

competitiveness is not a theme in lower levels. the level system is meant to allow newer players to learn the game.

i personally believe, in the current system, all summoner spells should be unlocked with the exception of smite. enabling smite for new players sounds like a disaster.
