There should be a champion mastery threshold to play champions in ranked.

I'd say AT LEAST level 2-3. No more FOTM picks, No more people having NO IDEA what to do with a champion...think that would help alot.

Wouldn't work:

I played 300+ thresh games last season but 10 this season. Why shouldn't I be allowed to play him.
I get stuck with adc, which I can handle but rarely play, I wouldn't have an adc I could play with.

Play more LoL before you go into ranked :) It takes literally like 3-4 games just to get to lvl 2 on a champion i don't see why everyone here is losing thier shit.

Because that's 4 games times how ever many champions I have.

Haha I'm already plat and when I play I only play ranked. I have like 400 wins total in normals after 3 years since I don't play it. Forcing people to play normals, especially just to play a champ, is stupid.

Nobody is losing their shit, they're just pointing out the logical flaws in your suggestion. Perhaps take their input and adapt your suggestion to make it better in stead of lashing out at them like a petulant child.

I fully agree that people should not only need that, but also need a handful of mastery rank champions to participate in ranked. This would as you said remove the clueless players and "First time X"

I suggested that not too long ago but there's a problem with implementing that as a prerequisite for ranked games, what about champs you own and played before the release of the champs mastery system? You wouldn't be able to play them in ranked games because the mastery levels don't take into consideration games played before its introduction.

otherwise i think its a great idea:)

That's on Riot If Third Party Programs can show me exactly how much I've played a champion across every account on the same machine, then i'm pretty sure the multi-billion dollar, Fortune 100 company can.

Yes I'm sure they could too but they haven't yet which well leads me to believe they probably won't at least not any time soon :(

Yeah, Riot dosen't actually care about improving the ranked system they just want to ban people who get angry...at thier shitty ranked system.

Suggested multiple times. And pointed out multiple times why it's not workable.

Ranked Draft requires 16 champions. That's 16*(number of games required for level 3) as a requirement to play ranked at all. And that's just to have the bare minimum of available champions. You didn't think this through very well.

RysophageJul 8, 20151 votes

Yes i did. You should know how to play the damn game before you go into a competitive Queue.

What happens if you don't?

Will you lose games?

Wow, you will? And then you'll go down in rank because of the losses?

Holy shit, sounds like ranked is already doing exactly what it was meant to do: separate players into divisions that show how good or bad they are.

There's also this mode called Normal draft. I didn't say put restrictions on that. That mode simulates the ranked strategy and team comp creating...without people going mid ez with smite and building the wrong jungle item and making me lose my LP.
