LOL its not a reportable action. Wrong, playing a champion that has just been released within 3 hours up to 3 days, you're not gonna master him. Not only you won't be able to master them, you are pretty clueless, in most cases. Meaning you're playing something you don't know how to in a ranked game. Playing them in ranked game shows you dont' give a shit about winning or losing because you just wanna try a new champ... then whats the different between playing a newly released champ and went 0-10-0 in 18 mins and playing something you probably played it once like 4 years ago?

Suggestions to Riot: New champions shouldn't be playable in ranked within a week of released. Because we all know nobody can master them within a week. Not even pro players.

What about PBE or naturally good players. with this logic you shouldn't be able to play any champion without level 3+ mastery I'm ranked either

You dont have to master champion to be allowed to play him. Also not having win as a highest priority is not wrong either.

That's actually wrong. If you are not trying to win, you are breaking Summoners code and RIOT TOS.

Stop twisting words. There is difference between "not trying to win" and win not being highest priority. Highest priority is to enjoy playing, to have fun. Of course, u have to try your best, but u should by no means, always play for example same champion just because it gives u best results. If u are sure u can win by playing Annie, but its boring to you and u dont wanna play her, and you wanna play Yasuo but u know u are not very good with Yasuo, but u enjoy playing him, that doesnt mean u are breaking summoners code. As long as you try to win, thats all that matters.

Also there is one thing in Summoners code that i particularly like

"Remember, that by taking on a role you don't normally play, you'll learn more about unfamiliar champions and increase your own skill level."

U are encouraged to try new things.

You mistakenly think that if winning isn't the highest priority, that it's not a priority at all...

Not picking the single best champion for a role is not the same as not trying to win.

That's not what I'm saying. No, there shouldn't be a mastery requirement, but you shouldn't be saying "First time X" in ranked, either, as that's not conducive to winning.

There's a difference between trying to win and making winning the highest priority. For me, the highest priorities are having fun (without trolling I mean) and playing the best I can/continuing to improve. After those comes winning.

Report me

If that was something they wanted to limit they would just disable new champs in ranked for x time.

EDIT: reading is hard.
