Idea for one free champion choice for beginning of any new account

When people star the game, they don't wan't to be ENTIRELY limited to free to play champs of the week, or having to buy more champs with riot cards when they just join the game. SO maybe if they make an account, they have one choice to pick exactly one champion they want for free, no more, no exceptions. For example, when I first started the game I wanted to play as aurelion sol for my first champion because I love dragons in video game. However he wasn't free to play or anything, so I had to pay 10$ to play as this guy. However there is be a line that people should follow until they can obtain a free champion. On the account, they must play a minimum of 5 games at least, to prevent non stop making of accounts with the same main champ people have on their alts right as soon as they make an alt after being banned or something on their main account.

A new player isn’t going to have enough information to choose an account, even after 5 games. Hell, even some people who get to level 30 don’t have a good enough grasp of the game to pick champions.

Liking a look is a good reason I guess, but that doesn’t mean that it should trump giving new players an ease into the game. The current free champions and free rotation are designed so that new players are eased into the game over their first 8 levels, then have access to a pool of champions which is diverse enough to allow them to learn each lane/role/class. Allowing player to instantly jump into their “favorite” champ would ruin this.
