I mean before they even try them out in customs/bots/normals. It's really annoying when you have a bunch of people who obviously don't have any idea what they're doing on their champion. I think there should be a system where you have to play X amount of games on a champion before you can play it in ranked.
HeadCrusher2 votesSo like, what will happen when some guy is forced onto a role that requires a champ/champ type he has never played?
High Lord Blaze1 votesI think you should be able to play at least 2 champions in every role before you go into ranked. Generally should cover all types.
HeadCrusher1 votesAlright then, I learned two champs in every role, but now the enemy team picked/banned both champs I know how to play in the role I was forced into. What now? Time to first-time pick that random champ you bought to get 16 champs for ranked.
High Lord Blaze1 votesWell then you have top lay something you haven't beore,litho ugh out of 16 champs, you probably should know how to play all of them, at least a little...
HeadCrusher1 votesYou should, but that doesnt mean people will learn them at least a little. Sometimes you just dont like a champ enough to learn them after trying them, and so they just sit there in your champ pool.
Pvt Yong Tai2 votesThat's just bitchgrinding. Kind of like bitchwork, but with grinding. It's really pointless and doesn't add a positive experience to the game. Might sound good on paper, but in practice all you'll get are people playing extremely half-assed in normals just so they can play their champion in the mode that they actually want to use it in, and that's not fair to people who play those normal games.
There's so many other reasons why this is a bad idea. I'm not going to list them all because it's not worth my time. On to another topic.
DEN15 5122 votesI first time champs in ranked all the time, and the majority of the time, it goes well.
League isn't really skill-intensive, anyone gold+ could probably first time at least 70% of the champions in the roster and do decently well. Most champions share mechanics anyways.

BeatzBoyFTW1 votesBecause Dunkmaster...
Foxymillion1 votesyou do realize i could play 100 normals with a shyvana and she still shows up as first time ranked right? oh and btw heres the score since one of my team was toxic about me playing her in ranked
