when you get a team that seems to have a good attitude only to do nothing but feed... and then they say 1st time lol why the hell do they play a champion they JUST bought in ranked lol like whats the mental damage to think you can instantly master a champ like that in a stressful game mode such as ranked solo? they should make you unable to play ranked with a champ you just bought without playing and winning a set number of normal matches! who is with me?

You tell me, you get to play.

Think about how stupid the average person.

Half of the people are stupider than that.

Stupid people play League because it is, literally, impossible to avoid stupid people in this world.

If Riot somehow found a way to ban 'stupid people,' they'd only have like 10 players left.

As for your suggestion, I believe the champion mastery system would be a great way to justify forcing people to play a champion until they get a few games with them.

You can't play a champion until you have mastery rank 2 with them or something.

That'd be a good way to solve this problem.

Way to show off your supposed intelligence by not presenting what you can do, but claiming what you think others are.

Truly enlightening.

Your suggestions are kinda cool though.

I never once said, or even implied, that I wasn't one of those stupid people.

What you infer is your business.

Why do you think you're any better?

I do agree on the part saying that one shouldn't take their newly bought champ into Ranked however.

they should have to win a set number of matches in order to bring it to ranked so as to not drag people down with them when they fail

Level 3 mastery required to play ranked with a champion. Do it.

I'm kind of silly even responding to this, but, consider the example of chess: intelligence actually has very little to do with predicting how good someone will be at chess outside of how fast they learn to play and the outcomes of their earliest games. Experience matters more than intelligence, to the point where someone can be a grandmaster with completely average intelligence.

This is because in games, it's more a question of -knowing- what to do in what situations than figuring out what to do, especially when the game is complex and there's simply not enough time to calculate out everything involved. In League, especially, there are a very large amount of situations that you can be in and need to have knowledge of. Having a high IQ won't let you know whether or not you have enough damage to all-in Sion as level 7 Irelia, for example. Only experience really tells you that.

EDIT: This also means that someone with adequate knowledge of the game can probably first time a champ with no issue, since that's being brought up. If they're already familiar with the champ's damage, kit, teamfight, etc. from experience, they can likely replicate that to some degree, especially if the champion is mechanically simple. That doesn't mean a challenger player will first time a champ at challenger level, but plat/low diamond level is hardly unreasonable.
