Definition of One Trick Pony

So my brain was wandering a while ago, when I hit this topic. Since we have the mastery functionality, we can now check if someone is a one-trick pony, vs someone who just has a main. I think the technique is this: Add up all the mastery of all their champs that aren't first, and see how that compares to their first mastery. If it's less than half, then that person is a one-trick pony, and banning that champ will probably mess them up horribly. What do you guys think?

It' s a bit more complex than that. Players can build up mastery really fast if they're playing alot and still be awful with a champion. Still, doesn't hurt to check. But I wouldn't drop a priority ban for it.

That said, banning a champion that a player has been spamming in games recently may cause them to queue dodge if that's your desired result.
