An idea to counter disabling new champions in ranked

BeMyFriendPlease·Feb 4, 2016·2 votes·402 views

Require a champion to be used in pvp (any form) for a minimum of x games, i'd even recommend 20 games.

Not "own 16 champions" or whatever it is, but make it so new champions, and "first timers" cannot destroy "ranked" games which by default should be competitive as is. Also helps prevent elo-boosting and the like as the buildup to ranked becomes quite hefty for the new "mains".

It would definitely need improvement... but something like this could prevent the crap that happens

You realize owning 16 champions still needs to be there right? It was implemented so that, in the one in a bazillion chance you own 16 champions, 6 were banned, and the other 9 were picked, you'd have a champion to play still.

I do like this idea though, although it would really only matter at maybe the mid Plat level and below.

No, this solution: a) makes it even more problematic for new players to enter ranked ladder, what is absurd considering extreme levels of ranked anxiety we already have in LoL b) basically make smurfing not possible, what is absurd considering how big part of community smurfs to train new stuff in lower elos c) solves a problem not worth solving, players can have 150+ games on a champion and still fail miserably, if you can't deal with teammates failing every now and than you should play some other game

a) new players should practice before ranked. Its fucking ranked b) ....good? c) not about failing. Reread and try again :P
