Riot needs to stop allowing new champs into ranked Day 1

Riot is literally causing toxicity by letting new champs into ranked before anyone has learned how to play them. Maybe it's just because they want more money to be spent (RP) for the new OP champ of the patch?

You don't know how tilting it is to have a teammate hovering a new champ they have no idea how to play. 99% of the time they have ZERO GAMES PLAYED on them and still want to play them.

I say disable all new champs in ranked for a week after their release.

PBE exists.

While I understand your argument the same can be made about Normals as well. Also, keep in mind that some people play a champion frequently on the PBE, so while they may have 0 games of say Yuumi or Neeko on the live realm they could have over 100 games played of them on the test realm and thus already have the experience with those champions. Either way it's a double-edged sword and not one that I think Riot is willing to brandish if that makes sense.

What percentage of players are on PBE?

The majority have no idea what the new champs do and want to play them for fun.

My point remains that some people can have experience playing something on the PBE even if it's not on live at the time. In that case simply going by number of games played with X content on live isn't always an accurate indicator of someones experiences with said content.
