Accidently played 2 ranked games thinking they were normals

Today I queued up for 2 ranked games thinking they were normals, where I am still learning an unfamiliar role and unfamiliar champions. I was saddened and dismayed when I saw later that they were ranked games. Riot, please make it much more noticable in the client when a person is queuing up for ranked. As of right now, all we see is some tiny text in the corner of the client, and it's very easy to miss if you're not paying super close attention to it.

An adjustment for clarity would make sense next time the interface is updated.

I can understand maybe one, but two? The post game screen alone lets you know you played ranked. It looks completely different and shows how much LP you have, plus in queue it tells you at the upper left, etc

I mean this has happened to me but i've never been the one starting the queue in those cases. You literally have to select ranked and then your roles and then press play. Honestly plenty of time, you'll probably do better not knowing it's ranked anyway.
