free to play champion selection requirements

what do you guys think of making champions on rotation only available if you've played it 5 times in bot games / blind pick? this is to prevent new players from diving into the game and feeding constantly without any experience for the following champions, they cannot learn anything from this especially with the enormous amount of abusive smurfs that demolish the new players leading them to quit or get lucky and be carried for the rest of their lives even after lv.70..

i noticed higher level players could fight lower level range players, for example a lv.26 player can invite a lv.5-19 friend or the other way around. they should be up against a bunch of lv.20s not lv.10s.. that is ridiculous assuming the lv.26 player has learned the game properly.

i understand draft is still normal games but i prefer learning how to play properly in a similar setting as ranked, if they want to try first time champs they should use practice/custom/bot mode or atleast do it in blind pick.

it annoys me everytime when first time champs ruin the entire match, i wouldn't complain if they played properly but that is usually not the case, they're too busy feeding or misplaying to the point they learn nothing, rinse and repeat until they get banned (assuming they become toxic after all anger being built up from all that feeding)

these type of players affect me to the point where i start playing horribly and stay tilted permanently which got me to uninstall this game several seasons ago but it was alot less problematic in the past since the exp range was larger, all my low level friends suffer against smurfs especially when all the new players have no grasp of majority of their champions, with this players would do a little better since they can't auto lockin first time champs or perhaps it could be based off of mastery level instead?

i think the free champs are there because you only need to have 10 champs to enter ranked, so if someone gets auto filled they would at least have a champ they can play for that role. Also, there are people who don't have a lot of time to play, so they don't really have the luxury of wasting time trying champions out in normals. As for the smurf problem, that's a problem in every single skill based online game. I think maybe what riot can do is make the game more rewarding to play, so any time people spend not playing their main, that's time wasted not farming resources like blue essences or w.e
