Riot I suggest my best logical and easy fix for Ranked trolling and feeding.

people think that Bronze/Silver Divisions are made of unskilled players, that is not the case. these Divisions are made of 3 kind of players.

A. they don't care, they play for fun, if they feel like trolling they will, banned? no problem, they got 10 more level 30 accounts. B. they easily forget the point of the game, objectives, kill share for carries, right build for current game, warding. C. they panic easily, make bad choices, let emotions bring them down and play worse, rage quit and so on.

these people have something in common, when a new player starts playing he has tutorial, problem is there is no tutorial for ranked matches. Ranked matches should be the hardcore mode of this game, where every player does anything he must to win. he knows what the objectives should be and he strives to achieve them. games are lost because people focus more on kills then objectives, don't ward and basically play like it's a normal random game. so I have found a way to improve the system, in a very fast and easy way.

1. if you want to rank you must play 50 draft games first.

forcing a new player to play 50 draft games will not only teach and ready him for things he might encounter in a ranked match. but also fix trolling once and for all, if you are banned for a few days, you can't just switch accounts and keep playing ranked. you will be forced to finish draft matches on each of your other accounts if you want to keep ranking.

  • to reach level 30 players need about 365 games (more or less), so rising another account to 30 and then playing more 50 drafts just to be able to rank, will prevent people from having to many accounts to troll from. a ban to an account will hit hard, especially because draft like ranked has rules that force you to be nice and work with a team (not so hardcore in normals), and people might lose their nerves like before and get banned on the new account as well.

2. to enter a ranked match with a champion, you must have played with him enough times to reach level 5.

I have no idea why this was not part of the game to begin with, this will solve all the "first time champion in ranked" problems. plus it will rise your chances to win since by now, you should feel comfortable with the champion you just picked. this will force players to increase their champion pool, because unless they have lots of level 5 champions, they won't be able to rank, remember there are 6 bans and 9 other champion slots, you won't be able to enter a ranked match if you have 15 or less champions because all your mains might be banned or taken.

  • in 50 draft matches even if you played perfect and earned the highest scores, you maybe get 3-5 champions to level 5, which is not even close to the needed amount, Riot can adjust to their own liking.

**3. because of number 2, players will be forced to learn all lanes, since before playing ranked they must get at least 16 champion into level 5. **

which ofc means that they will main more than one lane, maybe even 3, after all you can't be sure you will get your own lane. knowing at least 2-3 lanes is a must, you must be able to carry your own weight as they say.

  • no matter what, they will improve with a champion after getting him to level 5, that's just logical. even more true when looking at higher player numbers, just because one guy had a bad game with a level 5 champion, does not mean most of the players are like that. it's just a fact the more you play the more comfortable you are with a champion. and even if they main 16 champions (at least) of the same role, some of those champions are always good at another lanes. let's say someone mained only jungle champions, he can use them to go top/sup, which makes him able to play 3 lanes (see LCS matches, champions like Maokai can be played top/sup and so on..)

I am sure Riot can handle these changes, player base is large enough at this point, and they can improve and add to everything I just said. Riot please.. you have a large part of the community that suffers from bad ranking experience for years, show us that you care, don't focus only on toxic behavior while ignoring the main reason people "turn bad". ranked is not the same as normal/Draft, it should be something that people hear about and think "Respect", LCS is team based, Ranked is the Solo Q LCS, or at least it should be.

p.s.

this won't make trolls and feeders gone for ever, nothing will, no such thing. but it will lower the amount (in a very hardcore way) and prevent people from feeling angry and under appreciated when playing ranked matches. I don't find my ideas to harsh, I think it's fair and very smart, and will make the entire community more competitive and improve ranked players relationship with each other. this will also piss off anyone who does not have the time to main 16 champions, which is why this new system is so perfect for those hardcore Ranked players. Draft mode is there for a reason, people who are not wiling to give it all should not rank, that's logical since Ranked is the LCS of solo Q, Ranked was made for hardcore players who wanted to test their skills vs the best and one day be the best.

{{summoner:17}} Ranked games are considered the competitive alternative to normal and draft games (wiki){{summoner:17}}

if that is true why people who just want to have fun still play rank instead of normal/draft. I believe ranked matches are for people who want to win and be the best at all cost. these points matter everything, and if you don't respect that, go play draft.

please comment and share your own ideas..

This would really do nothing to decrease trolling or feeding (intentional or otherwise).

You're conflating several different categories of players there. The ones who are actually griefing their team (eventually) get banned. Someone who plays suboptimally in Ranked (using off-meta picks, or the same champ every game) may end up at a lower MMR than if they played "better", but eventually they end up at an MMR where they're winning 50% of their matches.

B. they easily forget the point of the game, objectives, kill share for carries, right build for current game, warding. C. they panic easily, make bad choices, let emotions bring them down and play worse, rage quit and so on.

Those are, um, "unskilled players".

Despite that:

  1. if you want to rank you must play 50 draft games first.

I think that something like this might not be a terrible idea. It's not great if someone gets to level 30 on co-op and ARAMs and then jumps into Ranked with no clue what they're doing. However, there are lots of players in Bronze/Silver with hundreds of Ranked matches played, so I doubt this would have the sort of effect you want.

  1. to enter a ranked match with a champion, you must have played with him enough times to reach level 5.

Having to level them to 5 is absurd -- you pointed out yourself that this would take far more than 50 matches, and so this would by far be the limiting factor. This would also be totally obnoxious with a newly released champ. But I could get behind something like having to win one or two normal SR matches with a champion before you can use them in Ranked play.

  1. because of number 2, players will be forced to learn all lanes, since before playing ranked they must get at least 16 champion into level 5.

You could easily play 16 champs in only 1-2 roles. The "fix" for one-trick-ponies is the ranked team builder system they're working on. Although we'll have to see if that really helps all that much.

  1. 50 draft games is a good idea. It might lower the number of smurfs
  2. Anything champion mastery related is like cancer level idea

Few reasons -Its cancer -Longer queve times (Like 3 hours) -I cant play ranked while I mastered 95% of champions because I have only 5-6 champions at level 5 mastery. -the champion mastery is worthless and innacurate -Even if your idea was> you need level 1 mastery on a champion in order to play him in ranked The idea would be cancer.

Trolling, feeding, afk, does not get better as you rank up. I thought that it was my low division that only had these, b2, but after two season making it to plat i realize its every elo that has these players.
