Is this even fair? Cause if it is, please explain how.

Just got out of a ranked game where I was Lissandra. And in champ select, I see that the other team has Kindred. I'm like, "Oh, a Kindred. This should be interesting. Never seen him played before."

And we all load in, and at around 23 minutes, we are getting our asses handed to us by none other than, yep, Kindred.

I haven't seen gameplay of this champion firsthand, and he is already in a ranked game against me.

And how is it fair that this other person can have a (for example) level 5 mastery on a champion most of the community can't even play because you have to get chosen for the PBE.

Oh, so I have to know how to play against someone I have only seen in videos of the PBE? I'm not saying that Kindred is op or stuff like that, but all I'm saying is that there needs to be a slight delay between when the champion comes out and when you can start playing that champion. A similar thing happened with Tahm Kench when he came out.
