Suggestion for Low Elo Ranked
Hello everyone! My name is Troy. I am really new to posting on forums as well as new to league of legends. I hope I am posting this to the correct thread. Anyways, I wanted to create a forum post to suggest an idea for low elo ranked play. So when you're playing at higher elo lets just say Plat and above, this shouldnt apply. But this should apply to gold, silver bronze and iron players. Riot should make a mastery requirement for champions to play in lower elo ranked. Just about every single game in lower elo's there is either a troll who just doesnt want to win, or someone who just gets enjoyment out of making others lives miserable. Thats for some reason just how low elo players are.... The majority of low elo players dont even want to climb and improve their gameplay they just play to have fun and do whatever they feel like. And ALL of those players should be playing in draft but they choose to play ranked and ruin games for others like myself.This is why i think there should be a requirement on mastery for champions. At least 25,000 mastery points on a champion to play ranked. This will MAKE players put in the time to get better in draft and build mastery points to play in ranked and also prevents people from locking in champions they just feel like trying out for the first time. I dont know what it is about lower elo but everyone wants to try something new instead of sticking what they know and too objectives. I know I am not the greatest mechanically or the most knowledgeable of League, but I still at least try to improve when i play. I make mistakes too and i am not trying to come off as that guy who is like "my team-mates are the reason i cant climb" but i AM DEFINITELY saying that I get teams who wanna troll more often than i get teams who are looking to win. I had a karthus jungle earlier who had 5k mastery points in my silver promo's and I cant help but think... "Wtf is this guy even doing here, how can we get away with this?". After i confronted this guy and BEGGED him to not lock in karthus jg he said "bro do you think I care about winning? Look at my match history f*****." . People tell me all the time "you just gotta hard carry yourself". Which i understand, but what i dont think people understand is that carrying as a bronze player who is already not great at the game and is trying to improve himself is alot harder than what people say. I'm not just bitching about kids who suck at the game because i am one of those kids, i am bitching about the fact that i would bet my paycheck that 80% of Iron Silver Bronze and Gold are trolls and people who play for fun rather than to win and get better. I do think that stricter punishment would be VERY necessary but at the same time I know that is a lot too ask of. So I am simply suggesting that Riot should REQUIRE 25,000 Mastery Points on 2-3 Characters to qualify for ranked game play IN YOUR MAIN ROLE. I dont think this is too much to ask, I think it is a great idea because then you will get players who are playing their mains and not first time champions and people who are genuinely trying to win and it separates the trolls to either force them to play draft or just doesnt allow them to play first time champions or champions theyre unfamiliar with in ranked.
Now some might be thinking "what about players who get auto-filled or put in an off-role" simple......... Part of improving in league is getting to know other champions and their kits, as well as learning how to play ALL ROLES (at least the basics). So to even qualify you should have 1 champion for EACH role with at least 20k Mastery points. SO they may not be the best in their off-role but at least they are not clue-less at this point, like 80% of the lower elo population.
Please please please riot. Consider this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
