Champions Rank Priority

Benjy··1 votes·841 views

I have a behaviour about Ranked Games. As all of us know, the ranked game is the way for players to show their skills in a competitive ranking. But how League of Legends is a team game, winning a game is not only about yourself. And there comes the big problem...in every game we play, we can find a player who is trying for first time a champion, or who have a low mastery ranking with the champion selected (beeing inexperienced). And that is happeded in every division (not only in low divisions). The consequences are: ->decreasing the win rate with 23% for most of players; ->lack of cooperation between the members of the team; ->increasing of the rage quit and the gave up. So i ask if there is a posibility for next seasons, to have a restrict for champions that we are playing in ranked games depending by our mastery score with that champion. For example gold and platinum players must have >= mastery level 4 with a champion to be able to play it on rank, Diamond and higher divisions must have mastery level 5 with a champion to be able to play with it.(And that was only 1 exemple from many posibility of restrictions) I am sure that i am not the only player who think that.

Higher mastery really doesn't make a difference. I can have mastery 4 on Gangplank and still be shit with him.

Maybe you are right, but is still a diference between first time and after 10-20 games.I gave only 1 example, but i am sure we must have a restriction about ranked champion selected. Is wrong what i say?

Yes and no.

Some champions are similar enough with play style that it may not matter. Some champions are also simple enough that 1st time won't matter.

Another thing you have to consider is positioning, auto fill, meta and trading.

Position: I am M7 with Sion. I got it playing Sion Support. Sure I can use him top and maybe mid. But my jungle might only be passable.

Autofill: What are people who are assigned a different role supposed to do? Sure we are in this Bruiser everywhere meta. There is a reason why the meme "Fill Support? Time to Janna/Soraka." was a thing.

Trading: What if I'm first pick and someone wants me to secure a FOTM op champ? I can't because don't have mastery.

Meta: While no enforced meta exists, outside of lane assignments (unless strat is agreed on) the meta shifts to favor new things. Currently, at least on a higher level, Marksmen aren't a priority. People who want to follow this "meta" may not be able to while their opponent can.

Your idea will never be implemented. There's lots of people, including myself, who never play unranked. The idea of wasting 5-10 hours playing unranked on ONE champion just to play it in ranked is just silly. I'm only low gold atm, but plenty of times I've picked champions I have low or no mastery on and still won the game. Playing a new champion isn't exactly rocket science.
