Dear League, please add more requirements to playing in ranked. For example you must have at least mastery 5 on a champ to play ranked with that champ. The level 30 cap is not enough and I am sick and tired of playing ranked with inexperienced players only to be stuck in lower elos. If I had waited till i had some mastery with my champs i would have had better luck and not lost all of my games for my team and myself(now that I am better i seem to have gone no where). This is a team game and your teammates should be closer in skill not fresh lvl 30 jumping into ranked to mess up someone promos and get them stuck in your ELO hell. It is ridicules to always be in a blow out game in ranked and gives us no chance to enjoy the game. The only way out is to pay a pro to carry you out of this ELO hell. Please fix your game or I and many others will be leaving you for the new Destiny 2 coming out this year. Their ELo and match making is far better and more accurate than yours Riot, step up your game!! Improve ranked!

Champion mastery is a pretty bad thing to base it on. For starters, level 5 is a steep requirement. It may not seem too bad for a single champ (30-ish games or so), but keep in mind you must have 16 selectable champions available to you. Such a requirement would mean you'd need level 5 on 16 different champions. And that's likely to go up to 20 when they give us 10 bans. Suddenly you're looking at a 600-game requirement to simply enter ranked for the first time.

Now, I could see a requirement of having like, one or two games played on a champ, or maybe mastery level 2. That would be far less restrictive.

You're bronze 5 with a 30% winrate. Are you really talking about ranked requirements?

The mastery 5 thing makes no sense. Mastery 5 basically means you played a lot of that champ. Number of games =/ skill.

Also Elo Hell isn't a thing. You're just bad. No flame just being honest.
