REMOVE NEW CHAMPIONS FROM BEING PLAYED IN RANKED FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS

So dumb that I have to play with a feeding bot lane because they know nothing about there champions. Rightfully so, they don't, the champion just came out.

"I mastered them on PBE"

"I'm D2 stfu"

"Were duo, don't worry"

Get out of here, I don't want that BS in my games.

Even if the new champions aren't picked, they take up a ban space for some reason, and now more OP champs in the meta are allowed to roam free.

ALSO MAKE THEM UNABLE TO BE BANNED IN THE FIRST WEEK! (IN DRAFT)

Thats retarded, what if the champions happen to be game breaking? People are just gonna dodge and the wait time will skyrocket.

? He means Normal Draft. It doesn't fucking matter if they're gamebreaking. If no one plays them or against them, there's no data to even support that accusation.

Jet SettApr 20, 20172 votes

Exactly. If they get banned too much in normals eventually it'll die down until they make it big in pro play and destroy every ranked game you don't ban them in because the ban hype died down. They get banned, people don't get as much experience on them, only people that play them do bad, they become hidden op when Riot could have gotten the data to balance them right.

As someone who actually DOES play on pbe.... Most people use it as an excuse. However when you do play they shouldn't be doing bad..

As someone who used to play on PBE, I stopped playing PBE except for custom games/training mode because new or updated champions are basically perma-banned there, anyways. And games they aren't banned get dodged, since someone was second pick and didn't get the new champ.

Hey guys.. in case you missed it, Riot already addressed this.

But then they don't get money from all the 15 year olds who steal Mommy's credit card to buy the next Camille to abuse her before Riot nerfs her once her sales start waning down.

Two weeks is a bit much tho. Should be like one week.

This is why they should have kept Team Builder. The game has been almost unplayable for me this patch with all the dodging when Xayah or Rakan are picked or banned.
