Require 10 games won in team builder or normal before you can play the champ in ranked.

Can you please require this? It's getting ridiculous people playing a champ for the first time in ranked and going 0/10 by 8 minutes.

Eh, I'm not a huge fan.

Occasionally you'll bring a champion that you don't use too much as a counter-pick or to fill a team comp.

And let's not even get into those people who will play 16 carries for their requirements, and will say "can't support/[whatever role is needed]" and thanks to the system, actually can't.

I'd lower it to five games won or ten games played, to remove the grinding requirement and to ensure they have the very basics down. Unless this starts at level 1, or every game ever played is counted before this is implemented, I guess? It would encourage trying new champions for new players.

Nah. I don't think this will stop feeders if that's what you're thinking. Bad people will be bad, and plus I like to counterpick even if I haven't played a champion for like 10 games.

Honestly, now that you say it, it seems really stupid we dont already have it.

It's stupid people think we need this. There's several issues with it:

Lower-medium elos (silver-ish) and higher generally have enough skill with the game to pick a champion they never picked before, quickly analyze their champion, and then do good with it (I've picked several champions I never play often as counters to other champions and still do great.)

All this would do is make ranked more of a grind than it needs to be, not to mention the problem of it would extremely limit your champion picks (Have only ADCs? That's all you can pick. Absolutely no fun for you if you need to go elsewhere besides ADC, and no fun for your team because the other person also only has ADCs and 2 ADCs rarely works out.)

Countering becomes a pain since now you'd have to play a ton of champions you don't want to just so you can counter the enemy in case your main champion would be hard countered by theirs. (Going top, but only have Nasus? They just picked Riven or some Nasus counter, you are screwed.)

Want to play a variety of champions (like most ranked players ACTUALLY DO.)? Enjoy playing hundreds of games so you are allowed to play 20 of your champions (that you most likely already grinded IP for.)

TL;DR You would HATE this change in reality. You main only one role and it's taken? Guess what, you are screwed, and your team is too, even more than if you play a champion you rarely play (but actually do good with.) The problem trying to be solved is only an issue in lower elos (and frankly, if they are going to do bad with a first time champion, they are most likely going to do bad with any other champion they pick, so it's not even that big an issue to begin with.)

I totally agree. And if you only play 1/2 champs and they get banned, you lose lp for nothing

no i play every champ in ranked the day it comes out because I have the skill necessary to do it. if u are bronze noob, then no u shouldn't play champ day 1, but if u are challenger stuck in bronze like me, ya its ok to play day 1 release champ

Game modes are free for everyone. You shouldn't feel restrained for playing a champion. Git gud.

It's a good idea but it's not gonna happen.

You see,currently you can't play free week champs in ranked,because people complained about it for the same reasons as you are,riot knowing that since many people only play ranked will mean this will boost champion sales went along with it,but if you put this instead you will need to allow free week champions in ranked(if 10 games are played),which will reduce profits for riot,so not gonna work.

I like the idea, but 10 games won is way too much. That requires 160 games won just to play ranked with the minimum number of champions.

Maybe level 2 champion mastery could work as a requirement. Most people don't need more than a couple games to understand how a champion works.

I played 1 match with Lissandra before taking her to ranked. I won the 3 games I played with her. I was forced to go mid each time. It worked though. I got fed every time. It really depends on the champ, some champs are similar to others you have played or just simple. With champs like ekko and yasuo ppl will feed though.
