There should be a disclaimer that you must see every game before you enter champion select)(, that you can not skip, that reads something along the lines of:

"Greetings Summoner!

Thanks for choosing to play Ranked! Before you do, please consider the following key elements of gameplay to be successful and contribute the most to your team:

  • This is not TEAM DEATH MATCH. The objective on Summoner's Rift is to kill the Nexus. Work with your team to formulate strategies for success starting at champions select.

  • You are playing in the same format as LCS players. You have a chance to be asked to join a team, that is, if you're good enough. Now, this is a serious endeavor, so consider only playing Ranked if you are prepared. You also effect the other 4 players on your team with a bad performance in Ranked. There are Normal game modes which are used to practice new champions or build paths prior to entering ranked.

  • Follow the Summoner's Code."

ACCEPT - DECLINE

)(-> It should be placed where you accept the match or decline. Giving the players more time to read the disclaimer and agree to it before continuing on to champion select.

There should also be included a Report for anyone you think may be disobeying this disclaimer. Ranked Restriction should be applied to players found "Trolling", "Testing" or "AFKing".

...Or try first to make it so you can only play Level 5 Mastery champions in Ranked from Gold and below.

The objective here is to create a better gameplay experience for Ranked players and bridge the skill-gap between Bronze and Challenger players in NA.

You can tell OP is one of those annoyingly anal players who tries to micro manage what everyone does and questions what everyone builds:

You're 3 cs down and you built that?? GG another scrub, why do I never get decent players Rito

some of your ideas are good, and i know your heart is in the right place.. but overall i would have to disagree with this post

first off.. none of this even matters until we have a ranking system that is even worth playing again second i don't like the idea how having a pop up box every game.

i threw the idea about mastery restriction for ranked games out right when mastery first came out while i think lvl 5 is too much to ask for.. i think lvl 4 should be required and while i thought it was a perfect idea. my thread got a response telling me why this is bad, and it was one that completely overlooked and i really cant figure out away around it, so i had to concede.

the issue with this is, as someone responded to my idea when i posted it in my own thread, was we are required to have 16 champ in order to play ranked

now this is done because you need 16 champs because there are 6 bans and 10 picks (3 bans and 5 picks per team)

now i HATED this when i first start playing because even today... i am really only comfortable playing a few champs ranked but i understand it is technically POSSIBLE for me not to be able to pick a champ if EVERY champ i owned was either picked or banned.. so i see why its necessary.

the problem with the mastery requirement is the same issue.. i already have lvl 4 mastery on EVERY champion in i play in ranked.

but i DON'T play 16 champion. and as much as i like the idea of making it so you can only player lvl 4 mastery and above champs in ranked.. i really don't have any counter argument to the response saying that i would then need to lvl up 16 champion to lvl 4 or 5 to play ranked.

because that is unacceptable.

if it wasn't for this issue i would totally support mastery requirements in ranked... as i think it would be a great thing but until someone find a way around this issue, i would rather not be FORCED to lvl up about 5 or so more champs to lvl 4 that i never intend to play just so i can play ranked again.

buying a few 450 ip champs i would never play was easy enough was to bypass the 16 champ rule, but lvling 16 champs to lvl 4 or 5 is going to take FOREVER for a new player.

becuase you cant earn mastery vs bots.. and the lvling 1-30 process is soo filled with smurfs that even as a high silver players.. even playing my main i can only stay toe to toe with the gold at plat players until they get fed off my teammates,, becuase while i don't DIE to them in lane very often.. i cant BEAT them, and eventually they get kills off my teammates.

so even though i have been in silver for 3 seasons i cant even played pvp on my smurf, because i cant beat the plat + smurfs.. i just play bots

and if a player who has been playing for 3 years isnt even playing pvp in the lvl 1-30

chances are new players wont even reach lvl 4 mastery more then 3 champions before they hit 30, if even that many.. meaning not only do they need to buy runes.. AND champsion.. but they need to get lvl 4 mastery on ALL those champions...

and thats WAY too much to ask...

I think the idea of having a message like that for an accounts first time going into a ranked match would be wonderful. It lets newer players have an idea of what ranked really is. But definitely not every game, and definitely not just for a specific group.
