Changing the requires for "Ranked"
now it used to be that you needed 16 champs in order to play ranked because we had 3 bans per team.. and with 10 players owning 16 champs would 100% guarentee you you were given a champsion you own to play.
now with 10 ban per team we need to own 20 champions to play ranked.
but what is the reason for this restriction? so the game can give us a champ we can play? it does nothing of the sort... it gives us a champion we OWN.
so i have a better idea in the interest of giving not only you but your allies champion they not only OWN but can PLAY. i suggest the following
lowering required champsion to play ranked from 20 to somewhere between 5 and 10 (lets call it 5 for simplicity)
however those 5 champs don't just have to be OWNED, they need to be a minimum of level 4 mastery.
now if we look at the upsides to this it means any person you get on your team in a ranked game at least has SOME idea how to play that champion. they may not be great but they at least know what the abilities do and what order to level them in and the general concept of the correct items to buy it also prevents new releases from being added to ranked immediately.
now the downside of this of course is you need to get 5 champsion to lvl 4 in order to play ranked. but think of this you now dont need to spend blue essence to buy TWENTY different champion u may never play just because they were the 450 champs u needed to play ranked. you can save up your blue essence to get the champs you WANT and then learn them.
now of course we are going to get the person who goes..
"but what happens when i fall off the roof? all 5 champs are picked or banned?
simple.. you get a forced dodge and u lose 3 lp.
"but that will make it harder to climb!!" will it thought?
the reason i use 5 as an example.. is because i currently have only 5 champions i play in ranked (and even unranked).. and with those 5 champsions.. maybe once per year or once every 3 years have i gotten ALL FIVE picked or banned.
that is about once every 500 games i would have been given a "forced dodge" now even if we weren't to multiplay that by 10, and say its once every 50 games u get a forced dodge.. thats still what, 2% of your games? that's not going to affect your climb in the slightest
what it will do is make it so your teammates now are on champs they can play and i can 100% guarantee you.. THAT will DRASTICALLY affect your climb.
