Why is this a thing? There is NO reason why this still exists in such a competitive game as League. Pros can't play the new champion until the next patch during the pro season, so why does the rest of the community have to endure this utter shit of a system in ranked. Yes, last game I had a kled top feed 3 kills to renekton super fast and he lost both top towers 13 minutes in the game. This isn't fair and needs to be fixed NOW. We should have to wait at LEAST until next patch to play the new champion in ranked.

Because I've played the champion for over a month now on the PBE.

Doesn't justify the other 95%

Lies. PBE is 2 weeks ahead, so at most you've played them 2 weeks.

There is NO reason why people wouldnt be allowed to play any champion they purchased in any mode.

Theres a big reason. Ranked is competitve. If you want to try a champion go do that fuckin shit in normals.

So you take new champions to ranked? What the fuck kind of logic is that

''I dont play normals so ima try the new champ in ranked'' Thats full autism

Well people who dont play normals usually dont get balanced matchup, either playing against much less skilled opponents or against much higher skilled. And in games like that, you cant really test champs, learn its weaknesses and strengths and how other players (of your skill) would do against him. Fastest way and tbh only way to learn and improve champion is to play him in competitive environment.

Untrue, you can learn timing, power spikes, efficient farming, get accustomed to ranges cooldowns and mana costs, learn different combos or small mechanics, test out item builds (if it doesn't work in Normals it probably wont work in Ranked), and generally just get a feel for the champion. Learning all of that is pretty important before taking a champion into Ranked. When I learn a new champion I do not look at KDA, I look at all the other stuff so I can get used to the champions abilities and build muscle memory as well as reduce the amount of time it takes to make a decision or play with them.

Basically if you go into Normals and look only at your KDA and whether you won or lost, you are learning the champion wrong. Learn the things about the champion that do not change from game to game, get accustomed to the unique aspects, then when you feel confident take it into Ranked. Playing a champion you do not know is putting yourself at a disadvantage, even Diamond players test out new champions in Normals to get a feel for them before taking them to Ranked. You will struggle to learn a new champion against people of your own skill level, they will take advantage of your lack of knowledge and abuse the shit out of it.

There is NO difference between RANKED and NORMAL. It doesnt matter where u try it. As i said there are people who never play normal. Who only ever play ranked. There is no reason for them to go and test something in normal. At least in ranked u can get even matchup.

StephenizgodAug 11, 20161 votes

Well there is a difference, a difference in who you get matched up with. In Normals you can get matched up with all kinds of differently skilled people, in Ranked you get matched with people generally your skill level.

So taking someone who you don't into Ranked against people your own skill level is inviting a disadvantage upon yourself. If you lose because of this, you are costing your 4 other teammates the game because you are too stubborn to try out a new champion in a Normals. Its a very selfish and arrogant thing to do, if you only play Ranked then perhaps you shouldn't play new champions.

Or perhaps people should learn to mind their own business. Playing new released champ in ranked (or champ u never played before) has always been allowed.

StephenizgodAug 11, 20161 votes

or perhaps this person playing a new champion is costing me the game because they are a stubborn selfish arrogant noob who refuses to practice their champion in a game mode that doesn't cost me LP for their stupidity....... This isn't a "mind your own business" game, you directly effect my rank, so when you are not playing your best, it is your fault if we lose.

Big deal... winning isnt everything.

StephenizgodAug 13, 20161 votes

Winning is everything in Ranked... if you truly believe that than you should never play Ranked. WINNING IS LITERALLY THE ONLY REASON ANYONE PLAYS RANKED.

I am glad we are on different severs, i think I would dodge the moment I saw you on my team since you apparently don't care about winning.

Winning is meaningless if u arent having fun.

StephenizgodAug 13, 20161 votes

Winning is fun, and while i agree you shouldn't play if you are not having fun, Ranked is not where you create fun for yourself. If you think playing a New Champion is fun, go into Normals and have some fun.

Ranked is where you pit your best against the best of others, you don't play Ranked to see how well you can play a new champion, you play Ranked to see where your skill matches up with others. Playing a new champion in Ranked, goes against everything that Ranked was made for.

Besides your whole argument is hypocritical, you judge me for hating when people play new champions in ranked because it ruins my fun, yet you hate Normals because they aren't fun to you... But i am the one in the wrong? Your argument is pretty selfish and part of what makes this community so toxic.

And people like you are literally the scum of league community. I assume you tell people you hope they die get cancer OR their kids get Autism. You prove me right with your statement alone.

I hope you are banned soon!

xBushxAug 11, 20161 votes

Not true there are a fraction of people who

A) Can read, so they understand just on patch notes how a champion works. If that persons mechanics and game knowledge are up to par with that. First timing IMO is NOT a problem.

B) Some own PBE accounts and have actual experience.

But all in all if I PAY for a champ IP or RP I should be able to play him in whatever fucking mode I want.
