@Riot: Can I get an unranked queue that requires level 30?

I don't have any interest in beating up new players when I do some Normal matches, and I don't want them on my team either.

I just want to practice a variety of champions and roles with and against people that understand the basics of the game; without that, there's no knowing if you are actually performing well enough for Ranked or not and nothing is learned (except that you can beat up a noob, or that you can't solo carry them).

If I'm just queueing up to screw around and break the meta or something and have fun, I can understand. Not when I'm preparing for Ranked, though.

I can start inviting you to my teams when we need a 5th?

Umm if you're level 30 and you have around 200 wins you should be fine.

If you're level 30 and not terrible, any non-30s who show up in your matches are almost always either:

  1. Queued up together with someone who is level 30.

or

  1. Winning way more than an average level X (ie, they're probably a smurf who is much, much better than their level indicates).

The problem with "only have level 30s play against other level 30s" is that smurfs get to beat up on actual new players longer.

If you want to vet your teammates you can play Team Builder (although it's blind pick and not draft), or form a premade team.
