The Time Needed to Reach lv 30 was Lowered Way Too Much, and also Matchmaking Sucks
From what I know, the time needed to reach level 30 was lowered by about half. This was a horrible decision. Now, players who have only played for a couple of months get to match up with bronzes and silvers. This is a huge problem. In my second most recent ranked game, I (bronze 1) got put on a team an unranked Annie. And she didn't know a lot of the basic concepts of League (when to group/push etc). I literally went 13/2 as Tristana (my bby <3) and we still lost because Annie constantly got caught out and never grouped with us. I looked at her profile after the game. She had a 53 mastery score. Her highest mastery was only a level 3 poppy. I knew that she hasnt played a lot and it made me completely mad that she, who has only played 23 hours of league, got matched up with me, who has played over 235 hours (i looked us up on wol.gg.) I really think that Riot should extend the time before a person can play ranked because it's ruining a lot of games.
You could easily use the argument that "oh if you have unranked players on your team, then surely you'll have unranked players on the other team." To that I say bullshit. In my most recent ranked game, we had 2 silvers, 1 bronze (me), and 2 unranks. On their team, they literally had ALL silvers, nothing else. Needless to say, we lost that game.
My point is relatively unexperienced players can reach lv 30 really fast, play ranked, and ruin games for players like me. And the matchmaking system doesnt help either, disproportionally putting said unexperienced players on either team.
