PSA: dont play ranked with a champion you're new with.

Title.

Honestly if you want to try a new champion in ranked. You're asking yourself to get reported and flamed by your own team.

I had to deal with a jungler that was new to playing fiddlesticks that doesn't even know the proper jungle paths and asked how to jungle with him.

Nothing boils my blood knowing there are actual people that does that kind of thing.

Honestly, if you want to play a new champion in the set role. Play bots to understand how the champion works. And try using the practic mode to learn a nice jungle path.

Please do that if you at least want to climb at a decent rank.

They should make it so that ranked games are exclusive to champions you have a a level on... just an idea

I played Kennen for the first time this season top lane against a Garen, I was hard countered of course, but my ranked team wanted to troll and we all picked purple champions. I proceeded to go 10/5 while the rest of my team had 2-3 more deaths and far less kills. I took the only objective, and did the most damage. I asked for input whether q of w would be best to max as I would wave clear much better with w.

Needless to say, I got blamed for losing the game because it was my first time on Kennen this season. Was pretty funny getting blamed by a 2/9 Alistar with 0 map awareness that Fed an akali.

Granted I have played this game for 7 years or more, and I understand macro play and how to stay safe in lanes and roles I'm uncomfortable with. Most players don't understand these mechanics and will continue to play aggressive in bad matchups. The reasoning behind this is because most players think you need to be stacked with kills to win, and they would rather int to try and get a kill then play safe.

Just a rant.

Why not? I'm Bronze 5 anyway with reactions so slow by the time I flash, I've come back alive in the fountain.
