Suggestions: Deterring The Trolls (Not Trundle)

We've all seen them, the Zilean Jungle with Teleport and Cleanse, or the Gragas Jungle who bought a cull as his first item and and then took a 15 min break mid game to "roll a blunt". We're all tired of it, no one seems to get punished for it, but if you say anything towards them you're banned or at the very least chat restricted, instantly.

There has to be something Riot could do about this, and I know it's not as easy as it seems to find these people and ban them, and even if you do ban them they can just make another account and get nearly right back into it. So I came up with 2 ideas I think would at least deter them a little bit more:

  1. Raise the level requirements for ranked games: -a dedicated player can have level 30 in no time and be right back into making the game frustrating and terrible for the rest of us. If we raised the requirements to lvl 50 or 60 would that not at least give us some more time without them in our games? Not to mention it would give being banned a little more of a punishment instead of it just being an inconvenience.

2.You can't play a champion you have no mastery in: -If you have mastery 1 or 2 on Zilean, you're not about to break the meta and be able to run him in the jungle. It's not hard to get to mastery 3 on anyone, this would stop people from going into a ranked game going "First time Xayah" or going ADC Nami and saying "Oh I didn't realize she wasn't an adc" and even if they said it, you know they're lying, they've played her.

Just a couple of small suggestions I think would make ranked a little more fun to play and deter the people who are there just to ruin everyone else's time...

Thoughts?

You'd have to have a level 50 or 60 account, and 20 champs at mastery 3 or higher. You see the problem here, yes? Why not just say that accounts that aren't at least 5 years old can't play ranked. Might as well.

Did you just take the worst two ideas from the thread below this one and pretend they're your own?

It is a myth that there is no way to build a system that can detect most types of trolling. It is purely a choice to not do so that allows this type of behavior to continue.

Also, bring back the tribunal. I loved being a part of the process, and it actually felt like people were getting punished for once. We're getting punished for defending ourselves yet the people actually causing the offence go on like nothing happened. I'm not a model player, I get tilted, I get flamed and flame back. But the tribunal made me feel like at least some people were getting justice.Kayle

Does this make the game more fun?

Yes or no?

If the answer isn't yes, then it is no, and its a bad idea.

In regards to mastery level, that's not a good indicator of champion skill since it only indicates how much a person has played said champ. Other people have already talked about idea 1, so I'll just say that there's a reason these ideas haven't been implemented; because they aren't effective or guaranteed tools at tackling or deterring trolls.
