Add report for first timing in ranked

Please.. For the LOVE OF GOD, add an option to report these people. Every single game should not be decided by which team has the 4fun4 player first timing their champion because it looks fun who then goes 0/11 and afks.

Every single game I have played in Season 10 so far has been this. It's unreal. This game has never felt more coinflippy than it is right now.

What about a system, like with normal where you need 10 champions before you can que up, but instead with ranked you need 10 champions with mastery level 5 or higher and you can only pick those champions.

"But what about people on smurfs or who are really good at a champion without mastery five!?!" You scream

It takes, what, 20-30 games to get mastery 0 to 5?

That's, at most, assuming 25 games on average, 250 games to play ranked. 250 games to then unlock ranked permanently for the rest of the life of the account, and most players already have mastery 5 or above on that many champions, it just forces them to not pick things randomly and then throw four other peoples games who are trying to win and get better. Normals exists for a reason, go play that if you want to play champions that look fun!

It literally only makes ranked better, it keeps people from griefing via playing champions they've never played, and making the game unwinnable for their team and it reduces coinflip games which make EVERYONE happier.

Please, at least do something - This coinflip shit is the worst it has ever been and it sucks playing this game right now.

-edit-

I'm not saying you can only ever pick those champions with mastery 5 that you got originally, but to pick any champion it has to be mastery 5 or higher, lock the champion screen in ranked to mastery level with all champions. Is it really so much a price to ask someone to play 20-30 games with a champion before taking it into ranked?

The report system is fucking trash. Actual ridiculous garbage.

It shouldn't even exist, its completely fucking pointless and easily abused. Not to mention useless as fuck.

Who thought it was a good idea to have trolls self-moderate themselves? What the actual fuck.

Don't waste your time worrying about a garbage system. They need to program checks, or hire a third-party to do it. I have zero confidence their team can fix this game.

There was a Jinx player I think my fourth or fifth season. I was 8/8 in promos. Then in my ninth game I got this Jinx, I was maining support bot back then, this person HARD FED. I mean absolutely force feeding. Aiming ults backwards. Standing to get hit by the enemy. Baiting fights. The whole works. Went 0/21 in that game for a loss. I report. BLock. And queue again. Got the same player bot lane in the very next game. He went 2/24 or something. I report and block AGAIN.

Blocking by the way doesn't do fuck all. I never, ever, want to play with a person I've reported or blocked, EVER AGAIN. I don't want to hear what they say in the end game lobby or in the game lobby in the next game. I don't want them in my next game. Ever.

Anyway, I look this kid up, he was something like 2/140 in his promos. STill in game. A week later I check the name and see that he's on a 20 game win streak with draven.

Kid was tanking promos to smurf. Fuck riot in the fucking face.

Its not against the rules to first time a champion in ranked. It wouldnt physically work.

On the last note, I would say minimum Mastery 4, but even then, consider how many games it takes to get a champion to Mastery 4, and how many champions you need to own to start playing ranked. WAAAAY longer than getting to level 30. Granted, I don't see much of an issue here, considering the greatest deterrent to smurfing in ranked is to make the new account pre-ranked requirements take longer, and the longer they take, the more likely actual new players come out of it knowing the game better.

Okay, let me just show you how stupid that idea is.

I main Ezreal. He's my most played champ in ranked. However Ezreal is a popular champion so I will need another backup adc to play in the event of him being picked/ban.

My backup choice is Lucian - I have him at mastery 4, about 150 points from mastery 5. So in your eyes, I should be disallowed to play my backup pick that I put in time and effort to learn, because I am 150 mastery points short of your goal?

People who go 0/11 happen. In fact just a few games ago my botlane went 35 deaths. Am I whining and crying for something to be done? No. It happens. Please get over yourself, your 0/11 teammates aren't the reason you can't climb.
