A solution for Ranked game mode!

OredlynxO·Jul 27, 2015·1 votes·551 views

Ranked exams?

This all is just a little idea from a little mind. What if We have to earn the right to play ranked games?

Players must play team builder and score a certain about of points via kills/wins as all of the different roles.

Example:

Assassin 67/100 Marksmen 50/100 Tank 45/100 Mage 88/100 Support 77/100

Players must finish all roles in team builder before gaining access to ranked game mode.

I would love feed back on my little idea, thank you for reading.

Ranked will never be as fun as people want it. Why? Because everyone wants to win and have the perfect team, but what players don't for some odd freaking realize is, their are people on the other team who want the same freaking thing. Ranked isnt suppose to be easy, its literally 10 people fighting for points. SOMEONE HAS TO LOSE. Doing this nonsense of "play this role this well in Team Builder or get X mastery points on X champion before unlocking it in ranked" won't fix anything... Its a 5v5 game... Teamwork is the biggest variable here, not mechanics. You can have average mechanics and work well with others and get a higher rank than sm1 who is above average mechanics who refuses to work with the team.

TL;DR The community is filled with too much hate and rage to understand the real issues with League Of Legends ranked solo queue. It's always someone else's fault for the loss.

Very well put! I don't understand how people can't see that Ranked is about teamwork. It tests you ability to work with a group of random people to achieve a goal. It is not about how well you can use a champion or 1v1 someone.

Man back when i played starcraft or hell even dota 2, if my team were to ever talk shit, it was to the enemy team. (esp starcraft) In league, for what ever reason... People find it much more productive to flame their own teamates. Prove a point to sm1 they will probably never encounter again. Rather than sucking it up, accept the difference, and find a way to win the game regardless. Nah.. Lets stick it to our allies so they lose LP.. as if you arn't too losing it... I don't get it lol.

I just finished reading some of the tribunal board before making this. I think it would be a great idea. It would help players who are still learning even at level 30 to be more in tune with the game.

Teamwork is something that should have been learned in the levels 1-30+. You are right though, It is not about 1v1 people. It is about creating a well rounded start to ranked game mode.

low effort

oh wait wrong subforum

bad idea either way

Please Explain why it is a bad idea.

(wrong subforums? what do you mean?)

I thought I was posting on General Discussion so I said low effort but then I realized this was gameplay and balance so I have to put a more meaningful response.

This kind of change isn't going to fix much and mostly just inconvenience people who already play ranked often. There is also a pretty good chance that people will already do teambuilder going up and your scoring system doesn't make sense when there are ways to win games that don't involve 1v12'ing. This will also hardly be relevant since playing against a bunch of randoms while leveling isn't going to prepare you for ranked in any way. Setting a minimum requirement for normal games of draft/blind/teambuilder might help since it'd both alleviate smurfs and force people to get some experience without messing up the people who already play ranked

I would be ok with everyone needing to play each role in teambuilder 5 times before playing ranked, but anymore than that and it's a bit pointless. being forced to win (ok, this is ok, 5 wins would be ok but some people have a really hard time with some roles, but 5 wins isn't too much and everyone should be able to paly all roles on a basic level at least.) or get a certain amount of kills isn't a good idea for a requirement for ranked.

not saying your idea is good, but not saying it's that bad either (something could be done, but it's really not a problem right now). needing 16 champs is also odd, but that's what riot has right now.

Yes, my example was aimed pretty high but it can be simplified to where it would just use the same thing that is already in place for the summoner Icons.

Just chipping in. 16 champions: 6 bans + 10 picks. It's so they can't lock you out of every single champion you own, in the event you're last pick.

KazaashiJul 27, 20151 votes

How do you generate the scores? What criteria is used?

OredlynxOJul 27, 20151 votes

I actually was thinking using the same criteria that is already in place in order to get the team builder icons.

OredlynxOJul 27, 20151 votes

Almost like collect them all and with the right to play ranked.

"Congratulations, summoner! You hit level 30

Now go grind out 600 games (most of which will be on roles you don't even enjoy playing) in the obnoxiously long teambuilder queues before you can play ranked"

lmao

Not necessarily, the above was just an example. May be I should edit it.
